twitch soundie buffer-capture glitch

buffer-capture glitch

A transient-triggered stutter, with no host clock and no button. Each detected hit captures the next 50–500 ms and repeats it a set number of times before the dry signal returns.

SPEED runs from double speed in reverse at the bottom to double speed forward at the top, changing direction at half speed in the centre, so a repeat can race, drag or run backwards, and never comes to a standstill.

The trigger responds to how far a hit stands out from what surrounds it rather than to absolute level, so one setting keeps working when the source gets louder or quieter. WEAR re-encodes each repeat from the previous one, so a long train degrades like a copy of a copy.

It runs the same DSP as the module in Tangle; nothing is cut down for the standalone version. One licence covers both: this plugin, and the same module unlocked inside the rack.

what each knob does

Six controls, no menus. Here they are on the panel itself.

it modulates itself

Twitch Soundie ships with the full CV/logic modulation section every Tangle standalone carries. Two slots, each running one of six modulators: pick one from a slot's tabs, drag a patch cable onto any knob, and that control moves on its own, no DAW automation required. Both slots can run the same kind, each its own copy, and slot 2 can be switched off.

it keeps what you just played

A rolling capture strip runs beneath the panel, always recording the plugin's output. No transport, nothing to arm. Played something great while you were just tweaking? Click-drag across the history waveform to select it, then drag the slice straight into your DAW timeline.

ARM flips it to ring-capture for hands-free takes.

it unlocks in tangle too

Twitch Soundie is a module from Tangle, the free cable-patchable rack. Buying it here licenses both: this standalone plugin, and twitch soundie unlocked inside the rack, where you can patch it into any other module you own. There is no second purchase and no upgrade path; the rack itself costs nothing.

Sign in once in the rack and your licences follow your account: a module bought this morning appears at the next licence check, on every machine you install on.
