@al: Email using the link at glitch-sequencer.com and I’d be happy to share the code involved in the calculations. It’s actually very simple!

@John S: I’ll keep looking into it. I just have no idea how to create a VST plug-in! Ha ha ha. If I can create one in Java, I’m can probably integrate it with glitchDS. I should have time in the remaining days of my vacation to take a peek. Yes.. I definitely created this for myself primarily. I use a modular synth and map the triggers to CV controls. Super fun!

Wow! Did it really take me a week to find the time to download it?

No matter, was very simple to start using once opened. It is simply designed and thusly quickly started. It works wonderfully and has only features that would get used a lot.

I can think of so many uses for this software.. Its just.. Just amazing!

@Bret: I was also wondering about a VST version. The biggest thing I look for is ease-of-integration with my existing software, and a VST version would be perfect. I haven’t used a loopback device since about 2001, since most useful instruments are VSTi or DXi.

I know you made this for your own personal use, and made it available out of the kindness of your heart (thank you!). But if you’re looking for a new feature, that would easily be the top feature I’d want.

This is seriously cool. I just got GlitchDS but it’s nice to have it available for other platforms for the times I don’t want to squint over the DS screen.

Yes, this year I learn Processing, I think. I’ve had these ideas for a sampler in the back of my head for a long time now, and I think I finally have a coherent idea of what to aim for. I’ll build the front end in Processing, and then see how to do the back end. It won’t be a streaming sampler, but I think it’ll be plenty quirky and powerful, while also being small and targeted.

@bliss: Yes, I believe that’s correct. Java 6 is available from Sun on every platform *except* the Mac. I … won’t start on that. ;) It’s a remnant of Apple wanting control of the Java runtime. They’re *mostly* good stewards of it, with some annoyances.

Now, whether having an open source OpenJDK changes that remains to be seen. More of a long-term payoff than short-term, but I keep my fingers crossed.
