The OTO Biscuit Black Friday deal takes 80% off this 8-bit multi-effect plugin from Softube, bringing it to $39 until Nov 15, 2026.
The OTO Biscuit began as a French-made hardware unit in the late 2000s and became a cult favourite with DJs and electronic producers. The plugin version puts its bit-crushing and lo-fi effects inside your DAW or laptop rig.
The chain pairs a bit-crushing digital section with a smooth analog filter. The filter rounds off harsh digital edges, and you can run it by hand or drive it from the built-in 8-step sequencer.
You get control over each of the eight bits, which can be inverted or muted individually. Sample rate, waveshaping, delay and pitch-shifting sit alongside them.
Softube says it modeled both the digital and analog parts of the original in detail.
The maker says the visualisations show the shapes of the 8 waves as you apply them to your signal. Delay time and feedback each get a dedicated knob, and delay syncs to DAW tempo or to a tapped tempo.
Pitch-shifted signal blends with the dry sound, which the maker says gives ringing bell overtones or a fat sub-bass.
Softube suggests a drum loop, where the effect runs from gentle lo-fi digital distortion to full chaos. On synths it can add arcade-style blips, aliasing and overtones, and the filter can make pads move and swell.
Vocals and guitars are on the list too. The maker says the plugin can turn analog sources into robotic, electronic sounds.
The low-latency mode is there for live use. Softube points to mangling drums or drops in a DJ set, or building studio-style sounds on stage.
The OTO Biscuit plugin runs in AU, VST, VST3 and AAX hosts. You need a Softube account, an iLok account and internet access for installers and licenses.
On Mac, that means macOS Big Sur 11, Monterey 12 or Ventura 13, on an Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or Apple silicon (M1 or newer), which is supported natively. On Windows, it means Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows 11 with a quad-core Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or AMD quad-core CPU with SSE 4.2 support.
