VST Plugins for Your Aural Pleasure: Glitch

Glitch Effects:

If you are into the world of creating digital music with programs such as Ableton Live, Steinberg Cubase, Nuendo, Cakewalk, Garage Band etc., etc. it's no doubt that you are aware of the powerful virtual tools and instruments know as VST's and VSTi's.

VST is an acronym for Virtual Studio Technology.

Here I have compiled some of my favorite free VST's that I have collected over years and would like to share with you. I hope you use them wisely and to their greatest capability because the possibilities are truly endless!

Enjoy!

Glitch chops up your audio in real-time and applies a variety of effects which can either be chosen at random, manually sequenced, or a mixture of both. The sounds it generates range from quite subtle to extremely bizarre, depending on how much you tweak the controls.

A buffer-sampling, stuttering glitchbox in the tradition of DFX's Buffer override. It features integrated modulation LFOs, XY pad and a useless-but-cool-looking wave scope.

The mother of glitch-noise-monsters, HBeast is a 5-part parallel processing speaker-endangering multicrapfx shredder. Features assorted colours, (almost) too-hard-to-read gui and bad attitude.
