Glitch is a free multi-effect sequencer plugin with some unique features that enables it to stand out from the long list of available free VST effects.
The incoming audio gets divided into individual steps of various lengths. A variety of effects can then be applied and mixed into those segments and the sequence looped. There are controls to adjust the level and amount of the effect as well as the length of the sequence and mix of the effect on the original sound. The effect for each segment can be random, preset to one of the effect modules, or bypassed to the original clean audio.
The effects themselves come in the form of guitar stomp box-like modules which themselves have a number of adjustable parameters, variables and presets. The Glitch effect modules include tape stop, modulator, retrigger, shuffler, reverser, crusher, gater, delay, and stretcher. There are also global controls for overdrive distortion, selectable filter settings and a master overall effect mixer control.
There is a randomizer for the sequence steps, effects, or both. Glitch also has built-in templates and preset banks of settings and effects in standard VST fxb format bank files which can be saved and loaded.
Glitch works especially well with drum loops and percussive sounds but works well with other types of audio as well.
