GlitchDS is a homebrew Cellular Automaton music sequencer for the Nintendo DS. It is for creating IDM and Glitch style loops. R4DS is required for using this application.

Features

  • Customizable Cellular Automaton sequencer.
  • Create your own “trigger points”.
  • Load in your own sounds.
  • Save and load your work.
  • BPM settings, or “strum mode” for controlling tempo.
  • Up to 6 sounds can be loaded at once.
  • Each sound has its own 32 step frequency modulation sequencer.
  • Global Distortion setting.

User guide

glitchDS is organized into different pages.

Sequencer control - glitchDS has a 32 step sequencer based on the “game of life“. After 32 mutations, the sequence starts over.

Trigger configuration - How does the sequencer know when to play a sound? Triggers! A trigger specifies what should happen when a certain node on the sequencer graph changes from 0 (black) to 1 (white).

Choose sounds - The choose sounds page allows you to assign a sound to one of the “swatches” (otherwise known as the little colored boxes at the top of the screen).

Clock control - The clock control page lets you set the BPM (beats per minute) of the sequence playback. The BPM is approximate.

Frequency modulation - You can modify the frequency (pitch) of each sound via the frequency modulation page.

Distortion settings - A rapid fluctuation of the sound’s frequency

Save/load - Save current “song” along with all settings.

Controls
