I need a sample to use so I'll have to look in to that, If you have one then send it over and I'll do it in hardware, it'll come back as a wave file.

The gated control is good I'll have to try that, I have camel space at the moment that is working great on my samples.

The one thing I hate about all this sample manipulation talk is that I have no bloody samples in one place to use. I never liked any of the samples I bought and haven't really found and good hooks. I'm a bit tight to buy any more samples these days so if anyone has a place that I can download some hard dance, male/female vocals then please do share ;)

I do have a sample from a song that goes it's 4 o'clock in the morning, so I'll snip that down and do the timestretch thing.

Got the link to the above free plugin from a dude in the Roland forums.
Looks good, I tend not to go down the plugin route but will give this one a go.

(Kris no worries on the vocals mate)..

fired up this Glitch plugin thingy, its a gem, very easy to use and really flexible.. took me (noob) about 5 mins from installing it to getting that stutter/ gated effect in perfect time. It does it very well and can offer many variations, and this just one effect of 8 that it has.

Totally recommended to anyone looking to manipulate vocals (any wavs) in that glitchy, stuttery, gated manner. Would be really great with beat loops too.

sounds good will check it out. been using camel space for my gates but want the glith stuff too.

This is great. I´ve been wondering how these effects where done and wanted to do them myself. I will test it tonight. Thanks for the link :D

this vst is one of the best I've ever used, has to be said. Ieven went and pulled out all my old school (you know they weren't old school when I bought them) Sampled in some hits and loops and hey presto add in vst and slow things down, some very heavy music coming from me next ;)

What about just using a gate effect on the vocal? something like Camel Space will do the job for you NP, or you can cut the vocal to 16ths, then space it by 16ths, u can cut the vocal to its singular words then put them into somethign like K2 and manipulate them as u see fit, u can also have an lfo controlling volume, you can use time stretching as mentioned above, there are loads of ways to do it.
