Glitch 2 Free Vst
There are so many choices on the VST market nowadays, that just searching for a simple delay plugin can get you completely lost in hundreds, maybe even thousands of results. So I thought it could be interesting to start sharing those plugins that earned their irreplaceable spot in my collection, now being used almost in every single one of my projects. And the honorable mention for being the first plugin mentioned in the series goes to (drumroll): Glitch 2 by Illformed.
What Is Glitch 2?
As the name suggests, the Glitch 2 is an effect plugin designed to glitch the shit out of whatever you feed it, spicing up your tune with its wide range of sound-mangling effects.
What can you do with Glitch 2?
Glitch 2 is an audio effect plugin for Windows (VST), Mac (VST and AU) and Linux (VST), available in both 32-bit and 64-bit formats. Featuring a new and improved sequencer which can play multiple effects simultaneously, with the ability to trigger unique scenes from every note on your keyboard, Glitch. Glitch 2 Illformed 2.1 64-bit (VST / AU) Mac OSx 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14 Direct Download (207MB).
Glitch 2 features a sequencer along with 10 different effects for glitching the sound - Shuffler, Delay, Gater, Distortion, Lofi, Stretcher, Reverser, Retrigger, Tape Stop, and Modulation. Each of those effects has it's own set of settings affecting how it glitches the sound, and each one has also it's very own filter section.
On top of that, there are 128 'scenes' (each featuring a separate instance of the sequencer, effects and their settings), which are mapped to midi notes and can be triggered from the DAW's MIDI OUT instrument, or even live by punching the notes in on your keyboard while the track is playing.
The plugin's interface is very simple, straightforward and really easy to understand - you don't need any manuals to understand Glitch 2 at all. Effects are being placed into the grid in a similar manner as you'd draw notes in the piano roll section of your DAW, and of course, you can have multiple effects 'playing' in parallel. On top of that, you can use a special 'randomize' function to get completely unpredictable results.
What do I use Glitch 2 for?
I personally love to use Glitch 2 on my drums - it can create really interesting rhythmical/sound glitches and variations and also some really unique transitions. However, it can work miracles on basically every sound imaginable, not to mention you can also use it on your master bus to fuck with your whole track instead of fucking with just a single element.
Glitch 2 is available to buy at its manufacturer's official website for $49.95, where you can also download a free demo to test the compatibility with your setup.

First time on my blog?
Welcome! My name is Pao and I'm the person behind this whole website. Besides making music myself whenever I can, I also write this blog and curate Spotify playlists. Feel free to explore it here a bit - I believe you will find some interesting stuff around ^^
In the developer´s page the free version it´s on the “Old VST Plug-ins Pack” section
“Glitch is one of the more interesting free VST effect plugins available. Glitch from DBlue (Kieran Foster) is a good multi-effect processor with some unique features that enables it to stand out from the long list of available free VST effects.
You can think of Glitch (Current Version 1.3.04) as a kind of multi effect sequencer. The incoming audio gets divided into individual steps of various lengths. A variety of effects can then be applied and mixed into those segments and the sequence looped. There are controls to adjust the level and amount of the effect as well as the length of the sequence and mix of the effect on the original sound. The effect for each segment can be random, preset to one of the effect modules or bypassed to the original clean audio.

The effects themselve come in the form of guitar stomp box like modules which themselves have a number of adjustable parameters, variables and presets. The Glitch effect modules include tape stop, modulator, retrigger, shuffler, reverser, crusher, gater, delay and stretcher. There are also global controls for overdrive distortion, selectable filter settings and a master overall effect mixer control.

There is a randomizer for the sequence steps, effects or both. Glitch also has built in templates and preset banks of settings and effects in standard vst fxb format bank files which can be saved and loaded.
DBlue Glitch works especially well with drum loops and percussive sounds but works well with other types of audio as well. Musicians and artist of electronic, techno, house and experimental idm genres of music will find Glitch an extremely effective tool within their audio toolboxes.”*
