This is usable if you just chop up the output and re sync it to your project. The Glitch output appears to be 80 bpm default, though it is not in phase with Ardour since there is no sync. I bounced the Glitch output to a file and imported that back into Ardour to determine the tempo of the output. VST Plug-in’s are not able to track tempo
Unfortunately, vst plug-ins are not able to track Ardour’s tempo map, which means the Glitch sequencer is free wheeling, and not in sync with Ardour. The 4 gray squares above, along with the step envelope setting still produce one output pulse for each step, shown in the sine_440_blank region shown in the tracks screenshot below. In order to work with Ardour, MIDI transport must be disabled in Glitch, as shown below: Now that the plug-in is copied to the appropriate directory, I launched the vst version of Ardour using the command ardourvst, opened the mixer, and added the plug-in to one track. In my case, with Ardour on Ubuntu 8.10, the vst plug-in location was /usr/lib/vst. I downloaded the file dblue_Glitch_v1304.zip and extracted to my vst directory. The plug-in and manual are available at: I find the interface intuitive, and the visual design is clean and well organized. This plug-in brings the concept of effects sequencing to your host workstation, and provides an intriguing method for creating unusual sounds and rhythms.
My earlier post detailed the steps for building Ardour with VST support, which was the first step in getting the dblue Glitch plug-in running on linux.
