Additional note: Although it is easy to get pleasing results simply by allowing Glitch to do all the work for you, it was not created with this purpose in mind and was not intended to be a tool for lazy musicians. Used in this way Glitch can be a very useful tool for kick starting your creative flow, even if you weren't intending to use it in the first place. You might even stumble upon a certain sequence or sound which leads you to create a completely new song that you would normally never think about. You might find portions which can be looped and used as new backing rhythms for your song, or you might create a new drum kit entirely from weird single-shot sounds. Load the results into a sample editor, cut out the most interesting parts that you like and export these as new samples. Apply Glitch to the master channel of your song then bounce the whole thing to disk to create a huge palette of strange new sounds. Glitch was designed to be used realtime in the same way that you might apply a delay or filter effect to a channel, but it functions equally well as a tool for sample creation. You simply have to change the seed parameter to create a completely new sequence of randomly selected effects. However, this does not mean that Glitch will produce exactly same results in every track you write. This makes the plug-in more predictable and musically useful and allows you to get the same results each time, rather than being at the mercy of a completely random process which may never produce the same results twice. In other words, if Glitch randomly generates a specific sequence of effects at 2 minutes and 10 seconds into your song, that sequence will always occur at that particular point in time. When allowing effects to be selected at random, the choices made by the plug-in are determined through a combination of the song's current position in time plus an additional random seed value.

Effects can be either sequenced manually for fullĬontrol over the outcome, selected at random for exciting and unexpected results, or a mixture of both. At its heart is a tempo-synched step sequencer which determines the selection of effects that are applied to your music. It was originally created to help speed up the production of 'glitchy' electronic beats, though it is really versatile enough to be applied to a wide range of musical styles. Glitch is a realtime audio manipulation system which allows you to alter your music in a variety of ways ranging from quite subtle to extremely bizarre. Most important parameters can be mapped via MIDI learn function.Ĭoncept.

Effects can be sequenced manually or triggered randomly.

Adjustable length (64 steps max) effects sequencer with 16 custom pattern banks. Individual resonant filters for each effect plus a master filter. Stereo panning, dry/wet mix and gain controls for each effect.
