This Über cool free midi sequencer is made by SF local and robotspeak friend Bret Truschan. It was Built using Processing, an open source programming environment. Needless to say Glitch Sequencer is a winner! Its a great app to get the creative juices flowing and lately I can't seem to set it down. Check it out! Now featuring OSC in and out!
