What it does

A stereo chopper that captures incoming audio into a circular buffer of 16 segments per channel, each starting and ending on a zero crossing, then repeats, reverses and reorders those fragments. Chaos, glitch probability, rate, quantization and transient snap decide how the playhead jumps, and a stutter section locks jumps to host tempo. A decimator, sample rate reduction and drive follow, with 49 presets and MIDI freeze.

In the demo

Jade runs it in AUM on vocals, piano and drums, then solos a simple kick and snare pattern and walks every dial from an init preset so each one is audible alone. She covers the behavior toggles, shows the segment grid responding, and finishes on a live microphone.

Worth knowing

It destroys source material by design, so subtle settings sit in a narrow band near the bottom of each dial. The desktop build is sold separately at $9.99.
