What is Scatterit Raw?
Scatterit Raw is the free, one-knob glitch slicer for producers who want instant chaos without the setup. Drop it on drums, loops, or vocals, turn one knob, and let the dice decide: no menus, no automation lanes, just controlled mayhem in seconds.
It listens for transients: drum hits and onsets, and on each one rolls the dice: play the slice forward, reversed, pitched, or stuttered. Low settings give occasional hiccups; high settings tip into full chaos. At zero it passes your signal through clean. Perfect for breakdowns, build-ups, transitions, or adding unpredictable energy to loops that feel too static.

The knob
- 2SCATTER: SCATTER controls the intensity and density of glitch effects. At low settings, you get subtle rhythmic variations: occasional stutters and micro-repeats that add a hint of unpredictability. Push it further and the signal breaks into full glitch territory: rapid-fire chops, reverses, pitch shifts, and stutters that transform any loop into controlled chaos. Under the hood it uses spectral-flux onset detection and short raised-cosine crossfades to keep every glitch click-free, and the scatter pattern is seeded so a saved project reloads to the exact same performance.
Key specs*
| Spectral-flux onset detection | Transients are found with a windowed FFT computing half-wave-rectified spectral flux against an adaptive threshold, with a refractory hysteresis period to prevent double-triggers. |
|---|---|
| Linkwitz-Riley multi-band trigger | The detection signal is split into low, mid, and high bands via Linkwitz-Riley crossovers (with an all-pass on the low band for phase coherence), and all three bands feed the detector. |
| Four glitch modes | Each triggered slice plays as Forward, Reverse, Pitch (interpolated octave-style repitch), or Stutter (fragmented sub-slice repeats with short internal fades), rolled with fixed weighting on every hit. |
| Click-free slicing | Slice boundaries use short raised-cosine equal-power crossfades so glitches never click or pop. |
| Seeded RNG & output safety | The dice come from a seeded random generator (seed-lock on by default) so patterns recall identically, and a soft clipper plus NaN/Inf guards and a hard ±2.0 limit keep the output bounded at every macro position. |
| Controls | One knob, SCATTER |
| Formats | macOS: AU, VST3, CLAP, AAX, Standalone. Windows: VST3, CLAP, Standalone |

How do I use Scatterit Raw on a track?
- Insert it. Put Scatterit Raw on the track or bus you want to change.
- Turn SCATTER up. Raise SCATTER until it sounds right. At low settings, you get subtle rhythmic variations: occasional stutters and micro-repeats that add a hint of unpredictability. Push it further and the signal breaks into full glitch territory: rapid-fire chops, reverses, pitch shifts, and stutters that transform any loop into controlled chaos.
- Automate it. SCATTER is the only control your DAW can automate, so one automation lane covers it.
What about the full Scatterit?
Love the glitch? The full Scatterit goes deeper. The Pro version adds per-effect probability, one-shot sample replacement and folder cycling, sidechain triggering, scale-locked pitch, stutter and slice-length control, bitcrush, freeze, and Delta listen for fully controllable glitch design. Every control is explained in the Scatterit manual.
Keyboard and mouse shortcuts
These work in every Scatterit Raw format (AU, VST3, CLAP, AAX, Standalone).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Scatterit Raw free?
Yes. Scatterit Raw is completely free: freeware, no trial, no nag screens, no expiration.
What does the SCATTER knob do?
SCATTER controls the intensity and density of the glitch effects. Scatterit listens for transients and, on each one, rolls the dice, playing the slice forward, reversed, pitched, or stuttered. At low settings you get subtle rhythmic variations; push it and the signal breaks into full glitch territory with rapid-fire chops and stutters. At zero it passes your signal through clean.
How is Scatterit Raw different from Scatterit (Pro)?
Scatterit Raw gives you the glitch engine behind a single SCATTER knob. The full Scatterit adds per-effect probability, one-shot sample replacement and folder cycling, sidechain triggering, scale-locked pitch, stutter and slice-length control, bitcrush, freeze, and Delta listen.
Does Scatterit Raw run on Apple Silicon and Windows?
Yes. Scatterit Raw is a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs, and ships as a 64-bit build for Windows 10 and 11.
What formats does Scatterit Raw come in?
Scatterit Raw ships as AU, VST3, CLAP, AAX and a Standalone app on macOS, plus VST3, CLAP and Standalone on Windows 10 and 11. The Mac build is a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs in any AU/VST3/CLAP/AAX host: Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Reaper, Bitwig, Cubase, and more.
Can I automate Scatterit Raw?
Yes: the single SCATTER macro is the only host-automatable parameter, so it's the one thing that shows up in your DAW's automation list. Every internal engine control is wrapped as non-automatable, so it stays saved with your project but never clutters automation. The scatter pattern is also seeded, so a saved project reloads to the exact same glitch performance.
