Was saying sampling the joke... but uh, actually I do use a few different glitch plugs, but I do sample them, and uses pieces and chunks of the glitchage, far preferable to just slapping it on a buss or master... :O

Yeah I find them more useful that way too. Another cool way is using Kontakt or another sampler that allows you to modulate the sample start position/loop point/loop length, and assign the points to velocity or the modwheel and going crazy hitting keys and spinning the modwheel. Can also be combined with those MIDI data plugins I linked before for added weirdness. Just make sure to have a good amount of attack and decay to avoid clicks as much as possible, but sometimes they sound good. Chopping up a break in Kontakt and doing that is like instant breakcore madness.

Well for glitch stuff I record some random shit with a rockband microphone, slap some white noise on it, pitch it, automate it, record it in edison, bitcrush it, distort it with ohmicide, record it again with edison, raise the frequencies, use dblue glitch, then cut up small bits of the glitched sound and use them in reverse or whatever sounds good from there.

Makes excellent hi-hats with glitch-hop characteristics.

you should be good with dblue, Effectrix is also a good one, same basic idea and functions

* Famitracker is pretty neat to use.

* Another tracker that's worth checking out is Vortex tracker. Instant sounds from
Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Pentagon 128K, and Amstard CPC.

* Want some Atari XL / XE sounds? Raster Music Tracker.

* GoatTracker can create some nice C64 sounds, but it is really hard to grasp.

* SIDmon was quite prominent on the AMIGA. There is the tracker SoundMon that does the job equally good for PC's.

* Regarding Sega Genesis there's the tracker VGM_MM that is really awesome. It imitates the whole shebang; FM, samples, and PSG.

* Gameboy has LSDJ and Boyscotch. Dunno much about these trackers.

VST plugins: There's QuadraSID that can really make interesting sounds.

Bleep is a nice freeware synth
