Glitchwork
FM Grid Glitch Percussion
USD 14.99
iPad
Explore FM Grid and sixteen sample pads in one iPad instrument. Shape every hit, perform evolving rhythms, and capture your sounds. Standalone and AUv3.
Glitchwork is a percussion instrument and sound-memory sequencer for iPad, made by S1gns Of L1fe. Explore synthetic timbres on the FM Grid or build patterns with sixteen sample pads. Shape individual hits, introduce movement, and turn small rhythmic details into evolving textures.
FM GRID
Move through a continuous two-dimensional field of FM sound: metallic ticks, broken pulses, dusty transients, pitched tones, and sharp digital percussion. Classic and Prism offer complementary sound palettes. Each of sixteen sequencer steps remembers its own grid position and sound settings. Move one sound or transform the pattern while respecting parameter locks.
SAMPLES
Work with sixteen independent pads, factory kits and rhythms, or your own WAV/AIFF files. Shape the whole pad or give an individual hit its own sound. Edit tuning, envelopes, filtering, drive, playback, trim, and repeat regions. Each pad can run its own sequence length and rate. A compact rhythm panel beside the sound editor keeps hit selection close to sound design.
RHYTHM AND PERFORMANCE
Program triggers, velocity, probability, ratchets, and other sequencing controls. Use performance macros including Stutter, Ratchet, Gate, Scatter, Impact, Echo, Flip, Width, Degrade, and Texture. Mix the pads and send them into the shared Plate/Hall Space section. Add movement with four Samples LFOs and a destination-based modulation matrix.
CAPTURE AND KEEP
Capture sounds and patterns, preview the current take, and export WAV or MIDI through Files. Transfer captured sound into Samples for further shaping. Browse factory sounds, save your own presets, and import or export presets and banks.
MADE FOR IPAD
Use Glitchwork as a standalone instrument with its internal sequencer, or as an AUv3 instrument inside a compatible iPad music host. The standalone app and AUv3 share user presets. Dedicated FM Grid and Samples navigation keeps the two instruments easy to find.
For ambient pulses, experimental beats, microscopic glitches, modular-style patterns, and cinematic percussion.
Requires iPadOS 17 or later. Standalone interface uses landscape orientation. AUv3 requires a compatible host.
