2. Crafting fills automatically with VPS Glitch Bitch

1 Glitch Bitch can be a quick and dirty way to add fills. We’ll make a quick patch that’ll allow you to add a fill to your music with ease: load Tech.wav into a 128bpm session and insert an instance of Glitch Bitch on this channel. As before, click Sync Start so the glitching activates in time with the track.

2 Click the Sync button in the Buffer window to activate grid sequencing. Next, we’ll change the step size to halfnotes by changing Buffersize to 1/2. By dragging the dots, we can adjust the repeat rate. We’ll mix things up by moving the 4th and 8th dots to 1/16 and the 7th to 1/8 (as above), causing the beat to skip halfway through and at the end.

3 Click the Misc 1 tab to edit a new envelope, and activate Sync. Pull the 4th dot down to 75%, the 6th to 50% and use this envelope to modulate the Pitch by -100% and the LP (low-pass filter) by -58%. Finally, click the Misc 2 tab. Hit the Flip button to invert the envelope and send it to the high-pass filter by turning the HP dial to 65%.
