I attached a simple Pd patch, which can be used to explore glitchy
sounds created from playing short sections of a sample with a short
volume envelope, that doesn't ramp, but jumps to 1 on attack. Not
ramping will automatically generate that clicky sound. Additionally a
simple "tanh-like" distortion is applied to the sound.

Just try loading any sample (44.1kHz, wav/aiff) you have on your disk
and play with the toggles. The "randomize-start" toggle switches
selecting a random start point in the sample.

If you have found a nice glitchy sound, you can export it to a file
with the "record" message. Remember to switch off the randomization
before recording, otherwise you will not record the previous segment,
but a new one.

Ciao
