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 - glitchDS has a 32 step sequencer based on the “game of life“. After 32 mutations, the sequence starts over.

Trigger Configuration - How does the sequencer know when to play a sound? Triggers! A trigger specifies what should happen when a certain node on the sequencer graph changes from 0 (black) to 1 (white).

Choose Sounds - The choose sounds page allows you to assign a sound to one of the “swatches” (otherwise known as the little colored boxes at the top of the screen).

Clock Control - The clock control page lets you 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.

Further details can be found from the official site.

Right - Increase sequencer length by a power of 2

A+Left - Decrease sequencer length by 1

A+Right - Increase sequencer length by 1

Trigger Configuration:

Draw on bottom screen to place triggers for cellular automaton sequencer.

Y - Clear triggers

Choose Sounds:

Up - Scroll up to previous sound

Down - Scroll down to next sound

X - Page up to previous page of sounds

Media

Demo

Demo 2

Compatibility

Works on:

DSLinker, DSTT, CycloDS Evolution, Acekard 2, EDGE, DS-X
M3Real pack (need to load it using Slot 2/the GBA slot, which in turn requires you to have a GBA expansion pack)
M3DSreal with system software 3.7 using DSOrganize
On the NAND memory of the “AceKard R.P.G” card
Games & Music card after DLDI patching
EZ Flash 5 after patching the DLDI driver
