Glitch

Reviewed By Steven West [all]
January 5th, 2007
Version reviewed: 1.3.04 on Windows

I highly advise this effect for experimental to high end production work. From any one to all of it's supplied effects are intuitive and easy to set and sequence. Plus the sound and handling of them each and all are simply superb. Flange's to delays - tape stops to buffer repeats, and more!

The latest version (1.3.04) works great in Orion Platinum 7 as well.

The only downside is the sequencing blocks and durations are a bit tricky to lay in if using off beat placements or durations.

But aside from that small gripe, everything else is well laid out, and offers infinate possibilities for anything from drums and synths to guitars and vocal tracks. Plus, re-mixers could no doubt use this to no end on full mixes. A fantastic effect for any genre or taste.

As for manuals and customer support - I feel quilty to give DB low-ish ratings below. But in all honesty, I haven't had to look at the manual, nor contact DB yet. So I don't want to give high or low ratings in this regard, but hopefully a fair and impartial 'don't know' rating.

Same for 'presets', as I think this is primarily up to the user to fashion for their own music. It could be possible to have a wealth of presets to choose from grouped into 2, 4, 8 measures and so on. But I for one would probably wish to modify one or two things for my own music if so offered. And again, the implementation and fine detailing for user preferences is easy and quick enough - whether one knows what they're doing or not.

Glitch will ALWAYS offer excitement and inspiration.

This is what I wrote to the developers. I bought the plugin.

probably you think that most of your customers don't know electronic music, and this is very bad. Even if they can use your preset randomly to make some noise in the dance hall, I find that your plugs are nice and could be used in serious composition too. So WHY YOU DONT WRITE PARAMETERS EXPLICATIONS IN THE GLITCH MANUAL? For example, in the Granular time stretch you call "stretcher", what does GM series of control means?

Thanks for some serious support,
Alessandro Ratoci.

P.S. seems that you are missing the step duration, and steps are forced to be 16th note. Pretty big limitation, is it?

Very cool guys:

Hi Alessandro,

I do agree that detailed descriptions of each effect are missing from
the manual. I will try to add these in the near future, to better
explain what everything does.

I have tried to put tool tips on almost every part of the plugin, so
you can hover your mouse cursor over something for a few moments to
get a basic description.

In the Stretcher effect, "GM" is "grain modulation". There is an
envelope follower which follows the amplitude of the input signal, and
then you can optionally modulate the grain size in sync with this. It
can help to give some interesting dynamic variations in tone and
character on the stretching effect. Hopefully this becomes somewhat
obvious when simply playing around with the parameters for a few
moments.

Either way, you should simply play around with the effects, tweak some
parameters, and see what happens. If it sounds cool, then it's all
good. This is an experimental glitch plugin after all, not a perfectly
accurate scientific tool. It's intended that you should experiment and
have fun :)

Kind regards,
