9. Now open the "Filters" Tap on the Top. Go to Distorsion Filter (Verzerrungsfilter) -> Vibrations (Schwingungen)
10. Now you schould play with the Options a little bit. At the end just take my Settings:
11. Now repeat all these Steps as long as you want (I did it 3 Times) and change the Options in Step 10 just a Little bit.
