Description
A glitch / chop / beat-slicer audio effect in the µ-Ziq / Aphex / OctaMed tradition. Captures the last ~4 bars of incoming audio into a rolling buffer and uses a host-synced step sequencer to sabotage it with retriggered, pitched, reversed, and crushed slices. A rhythmical sonic toy-box.
Developed by Stephen McLeod aka allmyfriendsaresynths.
