You mean the Igor Whisperer as someone here called him, right? That English pilot or something who made those YouTube videos that probably came closest to his apps? What a legend 🙂
I just bought Soundscaper after watching Doug's video on Glitchscaper. Absolutely bonkers, I love it.
FieldScaper is great too, and Synthscaper if you haven’t got it - one of my favourite apps, that one.
Love the random button on Synthscaper, yields so much fruit! Would be great if Glitchy gets it.
[feels a disturbance in the Force]
The man, the legend! Yeah @ervin this is the guy to ask if you have Qs about Beatcutter - assuming he also hasn't forgotten how to use it over the years 🤣
There we go! Thank you.
When it comes to Igor's apps, I don't even feel qualified to ask questions 🤡
Hmm, i thought GlitchScaper was sample based, where you could load loops. So, not, but still a nice glitchy sound generator.
Oh nice, this is exactly what I was hoping it was. An actual glitch based instrument that can still be used an an effect. Best of both worlds. Really can’t wait for this one.
yeah it seems to be a mental experimental groovebox
Yeah, love it! I tend to use the Design section more though, as you can set the randomiser to only use samples in your own folder, for example.
Some of the sounds it produces are whole tracks in themselves - you hardly need to add anything else - brilliant synth!
@AudioGus GlitchScaper does have a really powerful set of randomisation features, it actually has 12 independent random buttons.
If you watch from the 30.00 minute mark in the video I demo just has fast and powerful it is😊
To use a well-known old chestnut, this is an 'instabuy' for me....all the fun and squelchiness of Beatcutter, without the difficult sums.
Thanks Doug! Great demo. Super stoked for this one.
Exactly. Which is something I’ve been aching for honestly. Might end up being app of the year for me.
Oh sweet, thanks for the heads up Doug!
I have got to get this when it’s released!
Definitely watching this closely, but I really need to read a manual to understand it - other peoples’ demos never seem to help me much with apps. shrug
Peak Igor. 👌

Hahahaha!
As someone else has said, it is a Euclidean sequencer (or six parallel ones) that can either generate its own sounds or chop up (gate) an input stream recorded into a rolling buffer. The internal sounds are drawn from a repertoire of 12 built-in sounds ('tones') or 12 built-in noise sources, not files. It can only process one input stream (although it is, of course, an AUv3). You can mix and match input stream, tones and noise sources. Whatever the source for each 'generator', its output can be processed with a whole bunch of envelopes, gates, glitch effects, filters, and so on.
As far as I can tell, this seems pretty good at producing long drone-like soundscapes as well as short and snappy rhythmic stuff. These seem like two qualitatively different ends of a spectrum - for the longer forms, the rhythmic qualities disappear because the timescales are too long to perceive the rhythms. As far as the details of the sequencing, the documentation is very very hard to understand, but I think the 'euclidean' part means it is likely to sound good (or at least coherent) whatever settings you choose. There is an emphasis on randomising and then copying sequences and sub-sequences around between presets to get something you like.
I never managed to get anything useful out of BeatCutter, but this one is looking a bit more hopeful
You kinda make it sound like someone has
I need to find out from SFM what channel the remaining live inputs in Beatcutter, need to be.
Defo buying Glitchscaper but hoping theres still a use for Beatcutter.
There have been a number of interesting BeatCutter pieces posted in threads here.
I know, I guess I was just trying to be funny. Of course “useful” and/or “interesting” is subjective and may mean different things to different people.
I had fun tinkering with Beatcutter the few times I tried using it. Beatcutter in itself is indeed interesting in the way that it works, but I don’t think I could record any of the glitchy noise that I’ve managed to come up with with it, and publish it with a straight face saying “yeah, I meant to do that”.
I'm a fan of all of Igor's apps. A couple of them I do have to refer back to the user guide to refresh my memory if I haven't used them in awhile... like SynthScaper and BeatCutter.
At first I thought GlitchScaper was going to be an idiosyncratic interface that I'd have to watch some demos on first.
Happy to say... not the case!
This isn't BeatCutter. I love BeatCutter's randomness and exploration of feedback/chaos. GlitchScaper is a different animal with more control over the effects and output.
GlitchScaper strikes a great balance between intuitive interface that's fairly quick to grasp... while maintaining the possibility of very complex and sophisticated audio compositions. I think it's best to just start with all of the oscillators muted except for one. Once you figure that one out, all the others are the same... only you can set them all up differently.
The more I play with GlitchScaper, the more I love it.
Igor has created a tool that does not have a large learning curve, while also allowing the user to create impressive sound compositions.
And, it's not just fun experimental stuff either. You can harness it to make great stuff that stands on it's own and/or mixes well with other tracks.
Again, I'm a fan of his work... but I have to say, I think he's created a real winner with this one. I'm certain people are gonna have a lot of fun with GlitchScaper.
Bravo Igor!

3rd Beatcutter
Glitchscaper I bet has a different glitch tempo.
long live Igor
