GlitchBud 8x8 Realtime FX

Hold a pad to glitch the music. Let go, and the dry audio returns. There is nothing to record or load first: GlitchBud always listens, so every pad is ready the moment you

touch it.

WHY GLITCHBUD

• 8 stereo inputs, 8 stereo outputs. Most glitch effects sit on one stereo track. GlitchBud passes 8 separate lanes, and you patch each pad to the lanes you choose. Glitch

every track at once, only the drums, or drums and bass together, locked in time.

• The rest of your mix plays on. A pad touches only its own inputs.

• Each glitch can have its own output. Send it to your own reverb, delay or filter.

• Made to be played. Pads can wait for the next beat or bar, catch a moment that just passed, and sound a little different each time.

16 EFFECTS

• Repeat: Roll, Stutter, Erode

• Rearrange: Shuffle, Sequence

• Speed: Tape (Stop and Rewind), Reverse

• Gate: Gater, with a 16-step pattern

• Texture: Freeze, Scan, Smear

• Stems: Scatter, Relay, Stagger, Loom, Crossfire

YOUR TRACKS PLAY EACH OTHER

The Stems effects do not glitch a mix: they make your tracks play each other. Relay lets the tracks take turns, step by step. Stagger plays them as a canon. Loom loops each

track at its own length, for a polyrhythm from your own parts. Scatter breaks them into a cloud of grains. Crossfire lets one track fire pieces of the others: each kick can

throw a chop of your lead or vocal.

PLAY

• 64 pads on 4 pages (A-D). All 64 are live: a latched pad plays on while you work on another page.

• Hold or Latch for each pad. Touch a pad with two fingers to latch it while you play.

• Pads layer: hold many at once, also on the same input. Mono plays one pad at a time.

• Sync: effect times in note values (straight, triplet, dotted) or in milliseconds.

• Grid: in a host, the pad starts on the next beat or bar.

• Lookback: start the effect on the audio from before your touch.

• Mutate: a random change on each hit, as much as you want.

• Speed: 0.25× to 4×. Pitch and time change together, as on a turntable.

ROUTING AND MIXER

• Each pad has one or more inputs, one output, Wet and Gain.

• The mixer has In, Dry and Out levels for each of the 8 buses, with meters.

• Set Dry to 0 to use a bus as a glitch return.

MIDI

• Each pad plays from its own MIDI note and channel.

• Give the same note to many pads, and one note fires a whole scene.

• Let a sequencer play the pads, for written or generative glitch parts.

AUv3 AND STANDALONE

• AUv3 audio effect with MIDI input, for AUM, Loopy Pro, Drambo and other hosts.

• In a host with multi-bus support, route up to 8 tracks in and 8 channels out. Other hosts use In 1 and Out 1.

• Synced times and Grid follow the host tempo. Bypass and Pattern are host parameters. Your setup is saved with the host project.

• The standalone app uses the microphone or an audio interface, with one input and one output.

ALSO

• 13 factory presets, from Drum Breaker to Full Rig, and your own user presets.

• 12 themes, and a color for each pad.

• A waveform that glitches with the pads.

• A tutorial in the app, and a full manual with 14 recipes.

GlitchBud has glitch effects only: no filter, delay or reverb. Send its 8 outputs to the effects you already love.
