FREE · EFFECTRIX ALTERNATIVE · VST3 / AU
A free Effectrix alternative you twist instead of paint.
Effectrix is the classic step-sequenced multi-effect: you paint loops, reverses, stretches and delays onto a grid. SCRAMBLE gets you that chopped, sequenced movement by twisting a Rubik's cube. GLITCH, BEAT SCRAMBLE and MORE FX's TIME rewrite your beat on the 16th-note grid, and the sequencer changes the pattern every bar.
Hear it.
Real loops through real GLITCH presets, nothing else added. Tap DRY to hear the original.

How to get the sound.
- Put SCRAMBLE on a drum loop, a beat or a melody and pick GLITCH or BEAT SCRAMBLE.
- Twist the cube until the pattern fits, or turn on the sequencer for a new one every bar.

Questions
Is SCRAMBLE a full Effectrix replacement?
Not exactly. Effectrix lets you paint every effect step by step on a grid. SCRAMBLE picks the pattern when you twist the cube, which is faster for ideas but less hands-on for exact patterns.
Is it free?
Yes. GLITCH, BEAT SCRAMBLE and MORE FX are in the free version with 237 presets. The $49 Bundle adds all 2,800 presets.
Does it stay on beat?
Yes. Every slice, stutter and reverse follows your DAW's tempo.
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Yes. Mac gets VST3 and AU (Apple Silicon and Intel). Windows gets VST3 plus a standalone app. It loads in FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro and other DAWs. Not Pro Tools yet (no AAX).
