Four simultaneous modules
GLITCH, STUTTER, REVERSE and DISTO run at the same time, each with eight controls: density, size, pitch, stereo spread, level and three character settings.
SOUND OVERFLOWSOFTWARE FOR SOUND DESIGNERS
EFFECT / AUDIO FX / V1.0
A granular glitch effect: it listens all the time, cuts the past into grains and replays them scattered, repeated, backwards or distorted. Four stackable modules, a four-LFO modulation matrix. Completely free.

UNDER THE HOOD
GLITCH, STUTTER, REVERSE and DISTO run at the same time, each with eight controls: density, size, pitch, stereo spread, level and three character settings.
The grains themselves are distorted: DRIVE (tanh), FOLD (folding), SHAPER (cubic), REDUX (bits and rate) or CHAOTIC (unstable feedback). Every grain freezes its character at birth.
Incoming audio is captured continuously into a rolling 16-second buffer. Up to 32 grains read that past at once, each from its own place.
FREEZE holds the sound of the instant: grains only read a 250 ms window, a suspended cloud. LOOP cycles the last 1, 2, 4 or 8 bars: autoslice snaps it to your host’s bar lines wherever you clicked, and you can drag the region by hand inside the waveform.
Each LFO has its shape and a free or synced rate (dotted and triplets included). Eight connections to any control, or to the gates, which switch a module on in time with the LFO.
Low-pass, band-pass or high-pass filter with resonance on the wet signal. Thirty factory presets in six families: SUBTLE, RHYTHMIC, TEXTURES, REVERSE, LO-FI and CHAOS.
MICRO constantly captures whatever comes in. Grains, short windowed fragments, pick from that memory and replay it according to the module that fired them: scattered, stuttered, reversed or burnt.
Drop it on a drum loop, turn STUTTER and DISTO on, route a synced square LFO to a gate: the pattern tears itself apart in time. Feedback feeds the capture itself, the texture degrades and evolves on its own.
One module to stay readable, all four for the storm. Every grain carries the character of the module that fired it.
Every modulated control wears a ring in its LFO colour, with a dot riding along it. The MODULATION tab gathers everything that moves on one screen.
FREEZE for a timeless cloud, LOOP for a tempo-locked looper-glitcher. Both can be automated.
