GlitchBreaks App Reviews

Excellent App for glitching breaks and you can definitely import your own files!

...so I have no idea how it works or sounds

Works great on my 4S and iPad 3. I have been really digging the included patterns. I tried pasting from stochastik just for grins and giggles and couldnt, but that could be a user issue on my end. Great app. Definitely inspiring. Dev seems cool on twitter.

This app is a lot of fun. Works great on my iPad 3. To the person who says it doesnt work on their iPad 3, itd be nice if you contact their support instead of leaving a bad review.

I have tried so many different glitching plug-ins and apps, but none like this. The amount of control you have is great. It definitely works on iPad 3 and I have been recording and importing my own sounds. Highly Recommended!

EDIT: THIS REVIEW IS AS OF 6/7/12. For some reason iTunes posted my old review, but since then my issues have been addressed - VERY much to my satisfaction - by the developer. I have since requested Apple take down my previous review. I love using the grain shifter on my Kaoss pad, and this is similar. Use the stock breaks or load your own (up to 4 bars - any more than that will produce undesirable results), then destroy and tweak them until they become new creations. Supports Audiocopy and paste which is excellent. Developer is SUPER quick to respond and very attentive and concerned about getting any kinks worked out, whether by user error or otherwise.

It does not do a lot, basically some you can change the temp and some basic glitches, which can pretty fast go out of control. Still it is a lot of fun, though IT CRASHES A LOT. Once it crashes you have to delete the app and install it again to get it to work again, so that is pretty frustrating. Oh, I am using the iPAD3

If youve been waiting to buy this get it now! The new update made it rock solid. The new retrigger and quantize options are awesome. Easily one the best music apps I own, cant wait to see whats next! Off to glitch heaven :)

The app crashes. iPad 2 with nothing else running. The 10 seconds it runs before the crash sound somewhat cool. It seems like as soon as I put three fingers on the screen to glitch up a sound it instantly crashes. waste of money until this is fixed. Stay away from this app.

this is a great app for creative quick glitching. it can be used so many ways, you only have to be creative. i use it to paste the audio clips in logic, and its a beast.

Thanks for the update. It really touched base on any issues or concerns people were having. In reference to the 1 star review, did you contact the developer, because when I had an issue, the support was awesome. So, I figured Id give it a try, you know, 3 whole fingers, and no issues. Again, solid app. And if you do have issues, just contact support, easy enough.

Handles this beautifully in Auria. Great for making beats for electronic music. Great product!

*Update: After spending some time with it I found that you def should clear your apps and restart your device before using or you could run out of memory. I use on iPad2 and iPhone 4 and it runs ok if not for the occasional hiccup like where it seems if Im switching beats too frantically and/or messing with the time and tempo loud static noise sometimes plays. Its really easy to load samples in and copy/paste in/out. Its sweet that you can record a beat and then resample it by loading it onto a pad. If youre into glitch music this is a must have. *First impressions: Ive only been using the app for about 30 minutes and its crashed at least 8 times (restarted the iPad2 and cleared out the running apps before loading for first time). That being said, I love this! Im just messing around and have come up with some sweet glitchy madness. Ill update this review after Ive spent some more time with it.

This app would be really interesting if it didnt crash every single time I try to change the preset. Ive tried it on several different devices, and it always crashes. All my devices are iOS 6. Hopefully an update will fix this problem soon.

This app fills in a lot of gaps left by other music apps. The ability to stretch a sample to a specific tempo is huge for me but then I can tweak and use effects on top of that. There are some reviews about the app crashing when playing with presets. I have not been able to duplicate this. I would really encourage the user to email the developer directly, Im sure they would love to get a repro on the crash.

Great sound out of this app, very tight and responsive controls...when it works. Very unstable on ipad2. Cant load any presets except the one that is preloaded on app launch. Would love to see the developer address these issues. If not, youll at least get a very fun 5 minutes before you realize you cant access most features without the app crashing. Still worth the money though. Id imagine other users have written the dev, so hopefully something is in the works. Gorgeous, ultimately. Buy it if you love glitchy beats and textures.

The glitch modulation seems much smoother and more nuanced, but the effects in the new update are simply fantasic. The number of control parameters is a dream, and the quality of the effects themselves is thoroughly impressive. This is a wonderful addition to a very fun app.

...its an instrument. Something you will be happy to have with you on stage or in the studio, but also something you have to "play" and practice at to master. This app is obviously aimed at the jungle / breakbeat / IDM crowd (is that what the kids call it these days?) but I have been using it in more subtle ways with downtempo and triphop tracks with much success. The new playable / tweakable FX features in 1.1 are the icing on the cake, making this a feature complete instrument and one of the most powerful, interesting, and musical apps in the app store.

Im updating my review. After all the updates, this app is now really mature, and very powerful, just like I imagined it. Buy it!

Support for audiobus and we need to be able to upload up too 3:00 mins from iTunes library.
