Igor Vasiliev LoopMangler is a new experimental multi-FX processor powered by a glitch processor for iOS and macOS.
If you like exploring experimental sounds and using iOS or macOS, you can’t miss Igor Vasiliev’s developments. For example, the NoInputMixer app gives you the unique no-input mixing technique from hardware mixers in an app.
Today, Igor Vasiliev has released a new app that explores the wild world of sequencable glitches.
Igor Vasiliev LoopMangler
LoopMangler is a new experimental-flavored multi-FX processor app for iOS and macOS.
Its core is a glitch sequencer that can host up to six distortion and filter effects at each step. You can choose between gate, glitch, stutter, pulse, decim, filter, comb, slow, noise, and two delays (1/2). Since you can combine the effects wildly, you can achieve a wide range of results.
You can create patterns manually or generate patterns and individual bars randomly or according to specific rules. There is also built-in envelope modulation. Each effect can be modulated with its own envelope generator, making each step unique and dynamic.
Igor Vasiliev designed the app to be user-friendly. It allows for easy copying, moving, and deleting of individual cells and bars within the sequencer, making pattern creation a breeze.
LoopMangler can be used as a standalone app or multi-FX processor plugin. In standalone mode, you can import samples into the app and process them in real-time. Alternatively, load it as an FX plugin, and you can manipulate any audio source.
First Impression
At first glance, it is another beautiful, fascinating app from Igor Vasiliev. The workflow takes a little getting used to, but once you’ve mastered it, you can quickly drive your sounds or entire loops into deep, experimental, glitchy fields. It’s great that it also works on macOS as an AUv3 plugin in Ableton Live.
Igor Vasiliev LoopMangler is available now for $14,99 on the Apple AppStore. It is a standalone app and AUv3 plugin for iPad, iPhone, and macOS (Apple Silicon).
