## What is Scatterbrain Audio Splitter?

Scatterbrain is a plugin audio effect (AUv3, Audio Unit), which chops up incoming audio into rhythmical steps and sends these slices out to multiple outputs in your plugin host.

Scatterbrain has 2 modes: 

SEQ mode...
You can sequence how the steps are scattered over the (maximum 4) different outputs, or leave that up to chance. 

MIX mode...
You can live-mix (or automate) how steps are distributed over the 4 available outputs and trigger stutter repeats.

Stutter and buffer effects:
Scatterbrain records the incoming audio onto a hidden internal tapeloop. Using the buffer effects you can specify the probability of randomly triggering slicer or stutter effects for an extra seasoning of chaos and mayhem.

Note: to use the multi-out effect, this AUv3 plugin requires an AU host which supports multiple outputs. If the host does not support multi-out, only the first channel will work.

Also note that due to the multi-out nature of the plugin there is no meaningful standalone functionality. You will need a plugin host to make use of this plugin.

### 1/5 — Won’t open in GarageBand

*2026-03-22*

Need to get a refund for this.

**Developer response:** GarageBand indeed does not support multi-output for Audio Unit plugins. Seems a bit harsh to give the plugin a 1-star rating because GarageBand is missing a feature? Anyway you can request a refund via the App Store.

### 4/5 — cool

*2024-02-15*

syncs to bpm which is very important, its has a destructive implication with the use of percussive patterns, sometimes it rearranges music to were is doesn’t sound right, love that it uses chance so that it’s unpredictable

### 5/5 — A sprinkle of magic

*2023-06-01, version 1.1.2*

Love this fx 🥰 if your wanting to add a little sprinkling of magic to your mix just bung this on a channel and let it shine . Bus it out and add a couple more fx and wow simple to scintillating in an instant 🥰👍

### 5/5 — So good.

*2023-03-11*

There’s nothing like it that I’ve found anywhere. Amazing little plugin that can take somewhat bland beats and make them extremely fresh. A work of art

### 5/5 — More Bram Genius!

*2022-09-12*

Killer app!

### 5/5 — its great

*2021-04-10, version 1.1.1*

my ipad needed updating.  be careful it doesnt work if u dont update ios

### 1/5 — Paid for it.  Run app and nothing but instruction on UI

*2021-01-29*

I think someone forgot to test the last update maybe?  On my iPad I paid for the app, loaded it, opened it, and all it does is show a picture with. notes explaining all the buttons on the user interface.  No way to get beyond that.  I will rate it higher if it is fixed and works.

**Developer response:** Hi, it’s an Audio Unit plugin (AUv3), it works by opening it as an audio effect into a plugin host, such as Garageband, Cubasis, AUM, Audiobus, Nanostudio etc. In standalone mode it only shows a quick user guide.

### 4/5 — Question

*2020-12-10*

When I load up the app it’s just a picture of how to use it nothing else pops up my device is compatible too

**Developer response:** Hi, Scatterbrain is an Audio Unit effect plugin. You should load it up in an Audio Unit plugin host as an effect (AUM, Garageband, Cubasis, Nanostudio, etc). If you want to use the multichannel feature, make sure the host is compatible with Multi-channel AUv3 plugins.

### 5/5 — Freezes on opening screen.

*2020-11-19, version 1.1.1*

I really want to like this app. It sounds like it would be exactly the sort of thing I’m looking for. Unfortunately it freezes on the opening screen where the help text overlay is displayed and I can’t get any further.

Edit: my mistake. It was a prob led with the way I was using it. I have it working now and it is as awesome as everyone says!

### 5/5 — Super Cool!

*2020-05-26, version 1.1.1*

Great work!
