From the Manufacturer:

BISCUIT add depth, texture and organic behavior to synths, basslines, drum machines and virtual sounds from computers. By using 8-bit converters, digital processing and analog resonant filters, BISCUIT opens up a wide range of sounds from harsh distortion, digital and aliasing artifacts to warm and fat 8-bit sounds. You can mute or invert each of the 8 bits of the digital signal by pressing one of the 8 rectangular switches, to generate strong distortions with an intense digital character.
Lower the sample frequency down to 250 Hz for aliasing effects and use the multimode analog filter to get a warm and fat sound. You can also add one of the following effects to your 8-bit modifications: Waveshaper, Delay, Pitchshifter and Step Filter. Each effect contains one or several parameters to set.

Producers, deejays, musicians and sound lovers can use BISCUIT to extend their sound creation possibilties. BISCUIT will find its place in studios, on stages or even in clubs.
