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.

Further details can be found from the official site.

Demo 2

Compatibility

Works on:

DSLinker, DSTT, CycloDS Evolution, Acekard 2, EDGE, DS-X
M3Real pack (need to load it using Slot 2/the GBA slot, which in turn requires you to have a GBA expansion pack)
M3DSreal with system software 3.7 using DSOrganize
On the NAND memory of the “AceKard R.P.G” card
Games & Music card after DLDI patching
EZ Flash 5 after patching the DLDI driver
