Diego Capoccitti has released GlitchShredder, available for $4.99.
GlitchShredder FX for iPhone/iPad: stereo chopper, tempo sync, bit crusher and drive. Turn any loop into controlled chaos. in real time.
GlitchShredder is a qlitch and stutter effect for iPhone and iPad, available as a standalone app and an AUv3 plugin for GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Logic for iPad and other compatible hosts.
At its core is the Chopper: it captures fragments the incoming audio, repeats, reverses and recombines them in real time, turning any source – vocals, drums, synths, guitar – into unpredictable glitch textures or tightly synced stutter rhythms,
GlitchShredder ships with a ready-to-use factory preset library, managed through the 34AudioLibrary system (.a34 format): folder organization, quick search, and the ability to save your own settings. Presets are compatible with the desktop version of the plugin.
The touch-first interface offers knobs with vertical drag for coarse adjustment, horizontal drag for fine adjustment, double-tap to reset to default, and long- press for manual value entry. The panel supports pinch-to-zoom up to 2.5x, while the preset bar and controls stay accessible at all times. A live help pop- up on the knob or a bottom info bar (your choice) shows the description of each parameter.
GlitchShredder is built for producers. DJs. sound designers and musicians who want to add glitch, stutter, granular or lo-fi elements to their productions directly from iPhone or iPad – in the studio or on the go, standalone or integrated into your favorite AUv3 setup.
