RAW BUFFERS – a Discman glitch library

Here comes a glitchy one.

Harvesting the glitches from short-circuiting the "electronic skip protection" chip on a late 90's Discman player. Connecting the legs of this chip mangles and scrambles the buffer data, resulting in abrasive digital clicks, stutters, tones and bursts.

I've worked with this setup on and off since about 2017 and I wanted to finally make a library with the wonderfully violent sounds this can produce - and release it for others to use.

23 minutes (1.6GB) of 192kHz/24 bit recordings.
UCS compliant and with relevant metadata.

Cheers.

Note: I am relasing a library before @Nathan Moody ‘s forthcoming AirCon25 talk. We’ll see how my actions pan out.
