Igor Vasiliev has updated GlitchScaper with a number of cool features. GlitchScaper is available for $15.99.
What’s new in version 1.1:
- The new “Stream” mode for generators (in section “Generator – Tone”) allows you to use this app as a six-channel gated effect. In this mode the generator uses a direct input stream as a signal source. This mode does not use the loop recorder and is similar to how gated effects work. The “Input” mode has been renamed to “Loop”.
– A new button “Space: On, Continue, Off” has been added in the “Output” section to control the common reverb space and reverb reflections of each generator. With this button, you can turn off the overall reverb space and reverb reflections of the generators, for use external reverb / spatial effects as needed. This button also allows you to make reverb tails continue after the sequencer stops.
- Added the ability to create groups of presets. Now the list of presets can be organized more conveniently. You can create groups, move presets between them and merge them. The “Favorites” group is created automatically when you make a preset a favorite. The “Factory” group contains all factory presets, and can be hidden in the settings
- Added the ability to export and import presets and groups. You can save a preset or group to an external file, then import it into the app on another device
- The “Solo” button has been added for all generators
- Improved work of generators in loop recording mode (the “Loop” mode).
- Sequencer control parameters exposed as MIDI and external parameters of Audio unit
- Added a detailed description of the new modes to the built-in description of the app. Also available as a PDF file
GlitchScaper is a rhythm machine with six sound generators, each controlled by a two-layer cycle sequencer, designed to easily create glitchy patterns and scapes.
To quickly find new ideas, each generator has separate options for making sequences and tones. The parameters of the new sequences and tones are set randomly, but are guided by several user-defined options, which in outline define the steps of the sequence and the type of tone or noise. This allows you make a quick draft of a pattern and then simply tweak it to get the final sound.
The tone generator makes bright and rich sounds based on 12 complex waveforms or various types of noise, and can also use an external input as a signal source. Effects transform the tone from smoothly varying to full of squeaks and rattles.
Each effect is modulated by a special envelope generator with different shapes that change throughout the sequencer step.
Each sound generator has individual spatial effects, as well as a common reverb space for all generators that adds an ambient layer to the final mix.
The final mix can be even brighter and heavy or pumping with the built-in harmonic exciter and bass enhancer.
The intuitive interface and powerful sound design features make this application super convenient for creating your own, unique sound.
GlitchScaper is great for creating simple beats with an interesting and unusual sound, but it was originally designed for digital distorted patterns with longer steps that blend perfectly with the rhythms of classic drum machines and sequencers.
GlitchScaper is a universal iOS app meaning it’s available to iPhone and iPad users and is also available to MacOS users too (AUv3).
