United StatesGlitchScaper is a rhythm machine with six sound generators, each controlled by a two-layer cycle sequencer, designed to easily create glitchy patterns and scapes. To quickly find new ideas, each generator has separate options for making sequences and tones. The parameters of the new sequences and tones are set randomly, but are guided by several user-defined options, which in outline define the steps of the sequence and the type of tone or noise. This allows you make a quick draft of a pattern and then simply tweak it to get the final sound. The advanced copy function gives you ability to quickly make a new preset by copying sequences and tones from existing ones. The tone generator makes bright and rich sounds based on 12 complex waveforms or various types of noise, and can also use an external input as a signal source. Effects transform the tone from smoothly varying to full of squeaks and rattles. Each effect is modulated by a special envelope generator with different shapes that change throughout the sequencer step. The sound generators have individual spatial effects, as well as a common reverb space for all generators that adds an ambient layer to the final mix. The final mix can be even brighter and heavy or pumping with the built-in harmonic exciter and bass enhancer. The intuitive interface and powerful sound design features make this application super convenient for creating your own, unique sound. GlitchScaper is great for creating simple beats with an interesting and unusual sound, but it was originally designed for digital distorted patterns with longer steps that blend perfectly with the rhythms of classic drum machines and sequencers. GlitchScaper is a universal application for iOS and macOS. It can work on iPhone and iPad as well as Mac / MacBook with M1 chip (and later). GlitchScaper works on iPhone and iPad standalone, as an Audio Unit or Inter-App Audio module, and supports Audiobus and Ableton Link. On MacOS, GlitchScaper can works both as a standalone application and as an Audio unit (AUv3) with DAWs and other hosts that support AUv3 plugins. All application features are available on iOS and macOS, including MIDI support (with a MIDI learn option) and audio unit parameters. GlitchScaper has a built-in detailed description of all parameters also available as PDF file on the application site.

Note to iphone only users
THIS IS AN AMAZING PIECE OF WILD SOUND CREATION I loves it. it’s a good thing I have an iPad because on the phone its basically unusable. I mean you can mess around with it make some wild sounds, but you really have no idea what you’re doing. The font is so small. On the iPad I give it a 5 on the iPhone I give it a 2, just cuz its that coo
United StatesAnother 5 stars app from a Igor
I can only imagine him like a mad scientist thinking about new concepts to make music. This app is amazing to make glitch and noises. Every single app this guy makes is an absolute gem. Thanks A lot
United StatesA star
A glitch groovebox from a reliably outstanding developer, this app lets users sculpt musically useful rhythms, drones, and melodies from a simple set of algorithms. The straightforward interface gives just enough control to direct the inherent wildness of the generated sounds. There is much to love here. The contrast level of the font color relative to the dark background could be improved, and I always like more control and more sound design possibilities, but these are dispositional wishes and not at all complaints. As it is, this is a pretty great app.
United StatesAmazing instrument and plug in effect
Taking my music to another level and atmosphere- thanks to the most creative developer
United StatesGlitchscaper Atmospheric Bliss
You can easily create glitchscapes to zone out to. The randomization features of the app are top notch. The built-in help makes it easy to learn.
United StatesGreat app from one of the iOS masters
GlitchScaper is up there with Spacefields as one of my fav apps from this dev for easy, usable sound design purposes. While not as obvious as other apps I figured out the workflow within 10 mins and have been using it everyday for the last week. No one is doing it like Igor and he truly makes creating on an iPad an unique experience.
United StatesUnusable interface, illegible font size
The font size on an iPhone 11 Pro Max is illegible if you wear glasses. Accessibility is important, and dropping $15 on an app with such a poorly designed UI is a real shame. There’s no hierarchy in the design, just a spreadsheet with a tiny font. Frankly Apple shouldn’t approve apps that care so little about people with bad vision. The app sounds good, but it will be impossible for me to use beyond the presets.

This update makes GlitchScaper an even more convenient for designing a variety of glitchy patterns and scapes. - The new button "Multi/Single" toggles the main screen between displaying all six sound generators or displaying all controls for the selected generator on the single screen. - The new option "Undo" allows you to revert parameters to their previous state after "Make sequence" / "Make tone" operations for each generator, as well as return to a save point that you can set before making changes to the parameters of different generators. - Buttons that have multiple values now open a pop-up menu (but you can set the toggle values mode in app settings). - Also have been improved the assignment of MIDI controls, export presets and built-in description. - Fixed several minor bugs.
