## Description

FM Grid glitch percussion for iPad. Sculpt metallic ticks, broken pulses, dusty transients, and cinematic rhythms across sixteen complete sound memories.

Glitchwork is a touch-first FM Grid percussion instrument and sound-memory sequencer for iPad.

Move through a continuous two-dimensional timbre lattice to discover clean pitched pings, metallic ticks, broken FM hits, dusty transients, dark clock pulses, and unstable digital percussion. Every point on the grid resolves to a complete synthesis recipe—not a sample or a fixed drum voice.

Each of the sixteen sequencer steps stores its own sound. A step can recall grid position, pitch, attack, decay, gate length, tone, drive, stereo spread, velocity, accent, probability, ratchets, micro shift, and morph. Build patterns where every hit has a distinct timbre, then move, lock, randomize, or reshape those memories directly with touch.

Glitchwork includes:

- A continuous FM percussion grid designed for fast sound discovery
- Sixteen per-step sound memories
- Touch-first editing with individual parameter locks
- Forward, reverse, ping-pong, random, and alternate sequencing
- Independent sequencer lengths and musical rates
- Grid Scan motion for evolving timbre
- Performance macros for stutter, ratchet, gate, and scatter
- Plate and hall space processing
- Factory presets plus user preset and bank import/export
- Standalone operation with an internal clock
- An AUv3 instrument for compatible iPad music hosts
- Shared presets between the standalone app and AUv3 extension

Glitchwork is intentionally not a conventional kick/snare/hat workstation. It is a focused synthetic percussion instrument for ambient pulses, modular-style rhythms, microscopic glitches, generative movement, and cinematic rhythmic texture.

Requires iPadOS 17 or later. Landscape orientation only.
