  • glitch-sequencer, like GlitchDS but for Mac and PC

    Posted on April 30th, 2009 admin 12 comments

    I was keeping it silent for a while, but now that the youtube video is out, the cat’s out of the bag.

    Glitch-sequencer is now available, free!  Glitch-sequencer is like glitchDS, but for the Mac and PC.  It’s a pure MIDI sequencer, which means it doesn’t make any noise on its own.  You need either external gear or some knowledge of soft-synths.  If you download it, a small donation would be appreciated.

    Enjoy! Requires Java 1.6 or higher. So far, a few Mac users have reported problems. Please report the problems to me or post them in the comments area. I may spawn out a new topic in the forums for glitch-sequencer related conversation.

    Thanks,

    • awesome!

      i was just talking to a friend about wanting this and here it is!!

    • looks great! can’t wait to test this.

      please don’t forget about it’s DS siblings though.

    • Hey Bret..thanks for this, I’m already working with it for a track, really cool implementing the midi output, it does sync well with Live.

      Love it

      ; )

    • i’ve got it controlling some of the parameters in audiomulch. so awesome

      loving this app

    • oh, i almost forgot: will there be a linux version pretty please?

    • Any Mac users having problems? I get problems when I try to run the sequencer.

    • whats with the linux version? i want to send midi over LAN! and control ableton1

    • Hello,

      There’s no Linux version so far because I don’t believe that the midi library that I am using (themidibus) supports Linux. After my vacation, I’ll compile a linux version for people to tinker with. So far, glitchDS does NOT support OSC, although I may eventually add OSC support.

      Thanks,

    • Are you on a Mac?

      Cause I am and that is what I get to.

      Java 1.6 is available to

    • Since the Mac update Glitch runs fine, unfortunately I have no idea how to get it to control any external devices (Live/Plogue Bidule etc) as nothing other than Java Sound Synthesizer is selectable.
      I assume this is down to my lack of midi knowledge… any suggestions?

    • If any Mac users feel especially kind, I could use more detailed installation instructions. If you have the time to write some up and send them to me, I would be very grateful.

      Thanks,
