fm1-glitch

• Twenty-seven slots, one per key, play synthesized clicks, rasps, crunches, noise bursts, sweeps, micro kicks, pops, short loops and dropouts.
• One slot is a classic hi-hat, and PITCH, DECAY, COLOR and RANDOM shape every other source per hit.
• The polymetric step sequencer gives each slot up to 64 steps with its own length and rate, so loops drift apart.
• Hold SEQ and press white keys to enter steps, pressing again for ratchets of two, three or four hits.
• Press ARP for a completely new random beat, or hold ARP and a key for a new sound and line on one slot.
• MUTATE changes the loop a little every bar, REC returns to the stored pattern, and SAVE keeps the mutated version.
• Hold FX with a white key for sixteen stutter, freeze, bitcrush and sweep effects, or a black key for eleven punch-in effects.
• SAVE stores the live loop, mutes, settings and scatter seed into sixteen patterns on the device.
