A cool "glitch" in LSDJ that I stumbled on recently.  When a kit instrument is already playing in loop mode, changing the offset and loop point as seen below causes the instrument to start hopping from sample to sample in the same kit.  So far I've only found settings that cause this to happen in the ACIEED kit but I'm assuming there are offset/loop point combos that would cause this in any of them.

Since none of that probably makes sense here's a recording using the settings from the screenshots: http://egrmusic.bandcamp.com/track/lsdj … litch-demo

(this demo is only the glitch looping continuously, no other effects or notes, a more interesting example of this will be on the Kittenpaw Recordings compo coming out soon!)

I used something like that once in a song, where I took timestretching a bit too far. I'll see if I can post a sample of that.

Much fun to be had with those samples.

Yup. smile

In the interest of promoting sample playback glitchiness, there's something else you can do. There are four 256 byte lookup tables that are for two channel wave mixing. This is the dist setting, which you can normally set to clip, shap, shap2 or wrap. If you hold A and pressing left or right 4 times beyond the leftmost or rightmost setting, you can use data from anywhere in the memory map for this table. Most of it just sounds harsh, but worth checking out. This only works when there's a sample on BOTH the software channels, otherwise this table is not used, and you will hear no difference.

That's my favorite kit "effect" and I use it all the time!  Thanks for giving some specifics on just what is actually happening there, it bugs me to not at least have a concept of what settings are for.

Edit: i made this album based completely around sample glitchiness and abuse --> http://datathrash.bandcamp.com/album/hymnal

As I said before, I'm so glad someone else knows about this. Here's something I made out of the BRK sample and the DIST glitch thing http://stormblooper.bandcamp.com/track/brking-things
