GlitchDS is a homebrew Cellular Automaton music sequencer for the Nintendo DS. It is for creating IDM and Glitch style loops. Developed for R4DS. ==Features== * Customizable Cellular Automaton sequencer. * Create your own “trigger points”. * Load in your own sounds. * Save and load your work. * BPM settings, or “strum mode” for controlling tempo. * Up to 6 sounds can be loaded at once. * Each sound has its own 32 step frequency modulation sequencer. * Global Distortion setting. ==User guide== glitchDS is organized into different pages. * Sequencer Control - It has a 32 step sequencer based on the Game of Life. After 32 mutations, the sequence starts over. * Trigger Config - How does the sequencer know when to play a sound? Triggers! It specifies what should happen when a node on the sequencer graph changes from 0 (black) to 1 (white). * Choose Sounds - You can assign a sound to one of the swatches (otherwise known as the little colored boxes at the top of the screen). * Clock Control - Allows you to set the BPM (beats per minute) of the sequence playback. The BPM is approximate. * Frequency Modulation - You can modify the frequency (pitch) of each sound via the frequency modulation page. * Distortion Settings - A rapid fluctuation of the sound's frequency. * Save/Load - Save current song along with all settings.
