Glitch
Glitch is the most creative and unpredictable eect in Tantra. With the Glitch module
you can create modern kinds of eects known as «Stutter» or «Buer eects»
The principle behind the Glitch eect can be described as replaying short sections
of the incoming audio. The length of the section is defined by the Buer Size
parameter. The value of the Scale parameter determines how many times the
recorded section will be repeated. The recorded section can be reversed by
activating the Reverse switch. Smoothing window can be applied to the section in
order to make the sound less harsh when the Smooth switch is turned on. With the
Stretch control you can slow down the playback rate of the sections.
The Glitch module can record buer sections only once and then play them back
infinitely, which sounds like sound freezing. The Glitch works that way in Freeze
mode of the Mode Selector. On the other hand, in Run mode the Glitch module re-
records the buer each time all sections have been played back. In that case you can
achieve dynamic or «running» stutter eects.
