How it works
GLIMR is a chord harp built from your own sounds. Record a few seconds of anything (a pluck, a tap, a sung note) and GLIMR finds its pitch, then tunes it to every note of the chord across twelve strings. Your left thumb picks the chord, your right thumb strums.
∿
Hold NEW SAMPLE and make a noise. GLIMR waits for it, so there's no dead air, then finds the pitch for you. Trim, fade, reverse or normalize it, shape it with an 8-band parametric EQ, and share any sound as a WAV. The original is never touched.
✦
LOFI warble and hiss, a sweeping PHASER, Juno-style CHORUS. Then push the space pad for a ping-pong delay that locks to your tempo and a reverb that opens from room to hall.
◐
Five kits (GLIMR, LOFI, TRAP, ROCK and HOUSE) and eight grooves from rock to bossa to lo-fi. Tap in hits, drag up or down to set how hard each one lands, and type or tap your tempo. Swing it as far as you like.
Listen
Every example starts from the same one-shot. Hear it raw, then strummed dry, then strummed again through each effect.

Takes
Open GLIMR as a plugin right inside your song, where it plays from your DAW's keyboard and keeps its drums on your tempo. Or tap REC in the app and play: the take starts on your first strum and lands on the downbeat, so it drops straight onto your grid.
