How to get this effect in music? (slrpnk.net)

There's this effect that I've heard in a couple of songs. The best way that I can describe it is the way that some video game characters talk (especially animal crossing) where they're speaking gibberish but it also sounds robotic somehow.

Two songs with an example of this sound:

My Head Hurts -strxwberrymilk

Sunshine Recorder -Boards of Canada

For the first one, the sound I'm talking about comes in at about 1:30, and for the second it comes in at about 2:50.

Really interested in recreating this sound. Any ideas as to how to achieve this are welcome.

Edit: found the sound I was looking for. It's called glitch: https://illformed.org/

It's literally called Glitch - the 1.3 windows version is available free: https://illformed.org/

Sounds exactly like what I was looking for. What a cool plugin. Thank you.
