Glitch
No, not a problem with the site. Rather, Glitch from
dBlue is a very impressive VST effect which will do unspeakable things
to your audio signal, and is particularly effective on percussion parts.
What's novel about it is the ability to apply particular
effects within a siequence of up to 64 steps (you can change the length of the sequence to suit as well). The nine effect
"slots" include modulation, bit crushing, shifting and flanging,
and all of these have their own filter to refine the effect output.
Randomize functions abound (for effects and the sequencer) and
you'll lose a few hours just messing about with those. It's a lot
of fun, and runs from subtle to extreme (put a hard limiter in your signal
chain after it, but you do that anyway of course!). It makes me wonder if someone should come up
with something similar which allows you to host your own effects into
those slots in a modular fashion all controlled by that sequencer. As it is, Glitch is perfect
for glitchy drum loops and chopped up percussion. Put a pad sound
through Glitch with a low wet setting to add some interest and movement
to it. It's surprisingly controllable once you get the hang
of it..
