GlitchShredder is a glitch and stutter effect for iPhone and iPad, available as a standalone app and as an AUv3 plugin for GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Logic Pro for iPad and other compatible hosts. At its core is the Chopper: it captures fragments of the incoming audio, repeats, reverses and recombines them in real time, turning any source — vocals, drums, synths, guitar — into unpredictable glitch textures or tightly synced stutter rhythms. KEY FEATURES • Independent stereo chopper: L/R channels with 16 segment slots each, for natural glitch divergence and organic stereo width. • Chaos and Glitch Probability: from predictable behavior to total chaos, with spontaneous segment jumps adjustable in probability and rate. • Reverse Probability and ZC Reverse: random segment reversal, or ping-pong mode that flips direction at the end of every segment. • Stutter Sync: automatic sync to the host tempo (AudioPlayHead) with manual BPM fallback and built-in Tap Tempo. 9 rhythmic subdivisions, from 1/4 to 1/64 plus triplets and dotted values. • Quantized Jumps: locks spontaneous glitch jumps to the beat grid for chaos that stays in time. • Transient Snap: detects transients in the input signal and forces a new segment on every hit, with adjustable sensitivity threshold. • Segment Leveler: per-segment RMS normalization to smooth out level jumps between loud and quiet fragments. • Bit Crusher and Sample Rate Reduction: post-chopper digital degradation for lo-fi textures, from subtle to destroyed. • Drive: output soft clipper with a tanh curve, for progressive, controlled saturation without hard clipping. • Equal-power Dry/Wet and independent Input Gain control. • Single Win mode: a single capture slot for a continuous loop, freeze/looper style. • MIDI: any Note On triggers freeze; notes C3–D#4 jump directly to slots 1–16. • Real-time visualization: oscilloscope with dry/wet overlay colored by active slot, plus a 2×16 segment grid with waveform preview. PRESETS AND INTERFACE GlitchShredder ships with a ready-to-use factory preset library, managed through the 34AudioLibrary system (.a34 format): folder organization, quick search, and the ability to save your own settings. Presets are compatible with the desktop version of the plugin. The touch-first interface offers knobs with vertical drag for coarse adjustment, horizontal drag for fine adjustment, double-tap to reset to default, and long-press for manual value entry. The panel supports pinch-to-zoom up to 2.5x, while the preset bar and controls stay accessible at all times. A live help pop-up on the knob or a bottom info bar (your choice) shows the description of each parameter. WHO IT'S FOR GlitchShredder is built for producers, DJs, sound designers and musicians who want to add glitch, stutter, granular or lo-fi elements to their productions directly from iPhone or iPad — in the studio or on the go, standalone or integrated into your favorite AUv3 setup. No account required, no connection needed to use the plugin.

MNTRP is a drone instrument shaped like a journey: Earth to the Moon and back. A spaceship travels a figure-8 trajectory across the screen, and where the ship stands on that path IS the sound. There are no patches to browse — you play a position in space. THE TRIP The voyage passes through five stages, each with its own synthesis engines: • Liftoff — deep roaring engines, shaking metal • Interstellar — adventurous, airy drift (crossed twice: outbound and homebound) • Around the Moon — dark, mysterious, bowed strings • Reentry — the burn of coming home As the ship moves, the stages blend continuously into each other — a morph, never a switch. FLYING • Drag the spaceship along the path, or move the mission slider. • Or set a flight time (10–300 seconds) and press FLY: the ship flies itself and the sound travels with it. Missions loop — the entered time is one lap. Single-run mode lives in OPT. • The ship's position sets WHERE you are; the keyboard sets what sounds there. Nothing plays until you play. HOLD latches keys for hands-free drones. THE FIVE SHIP SYSTEMS The five big knobs mix the ship's systems, and each system keeps the same role through every stage: • ENGINES — the low floor: rumble, pedal, buffet • HULL — the ship's pitched voice • LSS — life support: the air • NAV — events and markers • COMMS — radio artefacts and telemetry TUNE Twelve shaping knobs under the TUNE panel: CUTOFF, RESO, DRIVE, TILT, TONE, SUB, ATTACK, RELEASE, GLIDE, RATE, DEPTH, SPACE. TRIPS — KNOB AUTOMATION Hold a still finger on any knob for two seconds to lock its value at the ship's current position — a red dot marks it on the knob's arc. Lock two or more points and the knob glides between them as the ship flies, around the full loop with no jump at the wrap. Name your trips, save them, load them. POV Press POV to ride in the cockpit: the Moon approach, the dark far side, Earthrise, the sun with its waving corona. Tilt your device to look around — the scene is a real 3D space in low-res pixel art: parallax stars, orbiting satellites, meteors, a photographed Milky Way. The sunlight follows your tilt, the terminator creeps across Earth and Moon — and at the right angle you can pull the Earth's shadow onto the Moon for an eclipse. AUV3 MNTRP ships as an AUv3 instrument and an AUv3 effect for hosts like AUM, GarageBand and Logic. The instrument is the full trip; the effect flies your own audio through the engines — the host signal bows the Moon's strings and feeds the reentry burn. Full state saving in the host; hardware MIDI in the standalone app. No accounts, no network, no data collected. Just the trip.
