Anyone know a good program for drawing tiny waveforms to make little bleepy glitch sounds that have a bit of sonic character? I tried Sawcutter which looks cool, Audacity didnt give me any useable sounds(none had any tonal content just literally clicks). Just wondering if anyone knows of something good?

that looks interesting... can it export the waveform as a .wav file??

Since it's a VSTi plugin, that depends on your sequencer. But simply load up the plugin into Tunafish or FL (both don't need to be registered to export wavs), add a single note into the pianoroll and export the track.. There's your wav.

if you have reaktor , check the excellent waveform editor that is part of the 'amphitryon' ensemble , by j.w. hall ...

for the kind of sounds you seem to be looking for, i personally wouldn't draw them. That's a lot of scribbling with your mouse just to get one useable sound :D
I would try instead starting with a synth or a sampler, try to get as close to the basic tone as you can, and then run it through some terrible, randomly selected labyrinth of bitcrushing, waveshaping, random delay generating effects. Record about 10 seconds of the mayhem that ensues, and then chop it into little tiny pieces with audacity. :D

Thanks for the replies. I tried Chip and it's a cute little plugin but I guess Z3R0T0N1N's suggestion is the best for me now. Thanks.

You can draw waveforms in oatmeal AFAIK.
