this tool is amazing …Wow!
For real, the amount of sounds/samples I can produce in Renoise now is nearing the edge of infinite. From a microsound/lowercase standpoint, this is reducing the amount of sample-slicing I have to do outside the application. Sounds I could once only create with plugins or other DAWs is coming to a close. @martblek has now created a synth that can design sounds as a full-blown drum synthesizer AND glitch generator - sounds/styles that was started back in the 90s with such artists as Oval. No longer is scratching up a CD necessary.
Heck, I can now bypass using Reaper as a sample slicer, instead using the sampler and exporting (internally) all sorts of ticks, clicks, and pops.
Seriously, this Tool, paired with the various tone generators (Harmoniks, PadSynth, etc.), is the reason I use Renoise. So many options for abstract composition and so many synthetic sounds built internally. WOW!

Thanks for the encouragement,
but I know of a few things that could be rapidly improved.
I need a minor reboot today.
Cheers.

Another great update! 
the glitcher is fun as hell
question, what are the user saturation curves about? is there a way to define them? am I missing something obvious?
thanks for your work, @martblek!!!

feature request;
Is it possible that the tool auto-generates a description/name in the instrument list, based on the tab in the tool gui you’re generating sounds with? For example;
Perhaps with a number behind it, based upon the amount of generations you’ve had with the tool open?
Right now the instrument names remain empty.

Thanks for bringing the tool closer to others.
I’m not very good at writing manuals, but I’ll improve in the next version.
Now I’m rewriting the tool so that it’s more ‘modular’, i.e. so that I can only compose sections from ready-made things and devote more time to creating sounds.
Unfortunately, just learning about filters makes me quite busy and choosing the right values is an art.
The same in the new version I don’t want to have overpaid ring buffers, convolvers and other things that tend to discourage users.
I keep adding and removing some things.
Sometimes I let the filter parameter be controlled by a sine wave or use the same envelope as the volume, then I ask myself “is this necessary in offline sound generation?” and I’ll delete it again.
I will probably want it “keep it simple stupid”.
Here is a picture of the new kick section with the new envelope module.
Today’s version, which may be different tomorrow.
But now I just need to add ready-made “modules”.

Very cool!
Perhaps also keep the older versions downloadable on the tool page, just in case people prefer older workflows or if there is a big change in sound character?

feel like the glitch function has the potential to kickoff/create totally new music genres

Almost Drums and your other sound generators have made Renoise an all-in-one program for me; all the sounds I could ever desire can now be created with your tools. Before Glitcher EX, I was tediously making small glitch samples by hand, i.e., taking small snippets of regular drum samples, maybe mangling them with the drawing tool and/or re-rendering multiple DSP effects on top of each other. Now, I can just skip that process by using your tool. Thank you for making my life a tiny bit easier.
Fantastic work!

Got an error using “almost drums” first time on a sample that was sliced.
looks like some harsh sound causes errors and breaks the audio engine also?

It doesn’t look like it has anything to do with AD.
But please write things about AD-NG in the thread for AD-NG so there is no confusion. Thanks
Hi…hm yeah maybe you are right…
- i dont know the difference
- i deleted AD-NG because not sure what this was, i accidently downloaded
I got 2 Versions running an deleted the NG-Version…in the same Project, maybe
this causes the error…?!
if you again would say its not an AD Error i delete this post
I’ve never tried running 2 instances of Renoise at the same time.
I’ll try it when I get to the computer.
2 version of AD (AD and AD-NG) running on 1 computers ^^,
