KerrStinn

KerrStinn free sampler | slicer | stutter | glitch by Shuriken

KerrStinn is a free sampler and slicer and stutter and glitch VST plugin developed by Shuriken. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

KerrStinn is a slicer, glitcher and loop dissector. KerrStinn changes your loops randomly by moving slices of it around and/or applying effects to the slices according to rules that Shuriken call “generators”. It is sort of an automatic controllable recallable loop slicer.

Features:

  • Loads WAV files.
  • “Random” knob to control what initial value the randomizing has.
  • “Slices” knob to control how many slices you want to cut the loop in to.
  • “Bisyness” parameter to control the weight of random to be applied; low values equals a small chance of change and larger values more.
  • “Bars” parameter to set how many bars the loop originally is (up to 8).
  • “Generator” parameter – these are rules on how to dissect your loops. Take “Freaky 4” for example, its rule is simply “if a slice is the 4th in a series perhaps play it backwards and/or apply the fftish effect on the slice”.
  • On/off switch.

InstantSampler

InstantSampler free sampler | slicer | stutter | glitch by Muxer

InstantSampler is a free sampler and slicer and stutter and glitch VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Muxer. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

InstantSampler is a simple sampler that records audio from the audio input when a MIDI note is played for the first time. Any consecutive time you play the same note, it plays back the recorded audio with the possibility to vary or trigger:

  • Velocity.
  • Attack and release.
  • The level of the input audio which is passed unaffected while no samples are played.
  • Playback speed using the pitchbend control.
  • Normal or reversed playback.
  • Looped scrolling, which enables you to use the modulation wheel to control the position in a sample at which small loops are played (e.g. “hello” becomes “h-h-e-e-l-l-o-o”).
  • Clearing of the sample memory.

This plugin is especially handy if you want to do some ‘remixing’ (like stuttering or scratch effects) on your mix without having to make a bounce-down of that mix first. You have explicit control over these effects, compared to other glitching “mess things up” plugins that often do things randomly.

Instalooper

Instalooper free looper | glitch by Audioblast

Instalooper is a free looper and glitch VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Audioblast. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Instalooper is an effect for looping the incoming audio on the fly: with trigger buttons to loop the audio, and knobs to change the loop duration. It is synced with the host. Once looped you can adjust the speed and/or add an effect on the audio loop. 5 effects are available:

  • Samplerate reducer.
  • Autopan.
  • Hipass filter.
  • Chorus.
  • Time expand.

InstaJungle

ZynAddSubFX free software-synthesizer by paulnasca 2

InstaJungle is a free glitch and pitch shifter and filter VST plugin developed by Laurence Davies. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

InstaJungle puts the power of beat slicing and granulizing at your fingertips, live.

InstaJungle was inspired by Bram @ Smart Electronix’ SupaTrigga, but the fact that they both buffer incoming audio and then slice it is the only thing they have in common. InstaJungle will let you slice beats on the fly, and let you play back different slices in the buffer with just the movement of a slider or the twist of a knob.

Granola

Granola free glitch | granulizer by KlangLabs

Granola is a free glitch and granulizer VST plugin developed by KlangLabs. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b.

Granola is a granulizer and is available in VST effect and instrument versions.

Features:

  • Record button: It records the input signal (you should click this prior to make any sound).
  • Granola big slider: With it, you can virtually “travel” across the recorded audio sample.
  • Volume, Pitch, Grain Xfade, Grain size, Smooth controls.

GranMa

GranMa free glitch | granulizer by Noisebud

GranMa is a free glitch and granulizer VST plugin developed by Noisebud. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

GranMa records the incoming audio as long as you hold the record button, as soon you’re done recording you can start to jump around in GranMa’s audio buffer by “scratching” the two buffer plates. It will only sound as long you turn the plates, it will do nothing if you leave it alone.

Aimed at live situations mapped to a MIDI controller but can be pretty useful in the studio as well.

Changes in 2.0:

  • Added a simple Freeze button.
  • Added a timer so you know the length of the buffer (Feature request from user).
  • Changed the behavior of the release knob.
  • Made the playback engine a bit more smooth (less glitch, clips and crackle).
  • Dry/Wet control make more sense.

Noisebud’s donationware: There’s always a free, fully featured, version of every plugin but it will be in black & white. If you appreciate our work and donate you’ll get a full color version of the plugin.

grANALiser

grANALiser free glitch | pitch-shifter | filter by Morfiki

grANALiser is a free glitch and pitch shifter and filter VST plugin developed by Morfiki. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

CAUTION: grANALiser contains explicit pixel animation, that should be viewed only by adults. People who find such content inappropriate should not use this software. Viewer discretion is advised during usage.

grANALiser is a hybrid of granulator and delay. It is capable of complex FSU sounds and effects as well as chorus, pitch-shifter or ring modulation. It is built around the same morphing engine as Morfiki’s redu(p)cer plug-in.

Features include:

  • Stereo processing (granulator pitch shift, size and rate, delay time with spread parameters).
  • Full featured granulator with pitch shift (±5 octaves, dropdown list with fixed values available), that can be tuned with grain size or synced to tempo.
  • Delay unit with feedback.
  • Adjustable sample&hold LFO (randomizer) for pitch and grain rate/size values.
  • All parameters are controlled by MORFIKI preset system.
  • Moderate CPU usage.
  • Drop-down menus with fixed values for pitch-shifter scale tuning, spread transposition and tempo synchronization when available.

GlitchHead

GlitchHead free glitch by RunBeerRun

GlitchHead is a free glitch VST plugin developed by RunBeerRun. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

GlitchHead is a realtime glitch (stutter) effect to be triggered by CC#64. It is always recording snippets of incoming audio, then playing it back and recording over it, according to a table of fixed values that are swept by an LFO, producing a choppy glitch effect. The sound also varies in pitch and playback rate slightly as triggered by a clocked rate.

Glitch Jockey

Glitch Jockey free glitch by DarkWare

Glitch Jockey is a free glitch VST plugin developed by DarkWare. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Glitch Jockey is a multi-effect LFO and vector controlled audio manipulation device designed to create “a new kind of glitch” intensely. Each internal effect has been tailored specifically towards glitchy sounding audio affection. All internal effects can be layered to user’s specifications using secular bypass settings.

All internal effects have their parameters controlled individually by their own LFOs with separate cycling speeds. Each LFO uses a global waveform defined by the user. Each internal effect can also be synced to the G-Vector interface.

The G-Vector interface plots all effects’ parameters on an X-Y grid, controlling every effect simultaneously if said effect is toggled to use the G-Vector. This control allows the user to dynamically and kinetically “ride the glitch” for realtime live tweaking of source material.

GGrain

GGrain free glitch by GVST

GGrain is a free glitch VST plugin developed by GVST. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.

GGrain breaks down the incoming signal into grains and then reassembles it. A grain is just a very short section of the sound, shaped to avoid clicks.

You can specify the number and size of the grains taken from the incoming signal. The level and pitch of each grain can then be altered before the sound is reconstructed, giving a variety of interesting effects.

The grain-size, pitch and level can all be randomized using the SizeVar, PitchVar and GainVar parameters. These specify the largest variation from the associated centre value, set by the Size, Pitch and Gain parameters.

For example, if Size is set to 35ms and SizeVar is set to 5ms, then the grain-size used will vary randomly from 30ms to 40ms. If all of the Var parameters are 0 then no randomization will be applied.

The Mix parameter allows the original and resynthesized sounds to be mixed together.

There is also a quality switch. High-quality mode adds filtering to minimize aliasing when changing the pitch of grains. It also uses improved interpolation. GGrain uses significantly more CPU power in high-quality mode.
