GlitchBud 8x8 Realtime FX

Play live glitch effects across routed audio lanes using a pad grid.

Our take

Useful for performers who want momentary or latched real-time transformations

Per-pad buses, tempo grid and MIDI control let one gesture affect selected tracks.

Keep in mind: Eight-lane operation needs a multi-bus AUv3 host; standalone is one input/output. It contains glitch effects, with no included filter, delay or reverb.

What you can do

  • 64 pads with 16 glitch types
  • Per-pad inputs/outputs and multi-bus mixer
  • Tempo/lookback controls and MIDI Learn

Good for

  • Musicians checking host routing for live effects

Consider alternatives for

  • An included full effects rack or eight standalone inputs

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 13.0.
  • Eight-lane operation needs a multi-bus AUv3 host; standalone is one input/output. It contains glitch effects, with no included filter, delay or reverb.

Privacy & permissions
