Up to 4 unique audio source mixes (Soil) for the trees to sample from.An evolving forest simulation with various parameters to control it and for triggering granular playback.The device, user manual, 32 presets, 6 samples
This all adds up to a literally evolving soundscape sampled from multiple audio sources! Grain Forest can be a granular delay, a texture, a glitchy/chaotic effect, a dynamic sampler, or whatever way you figure out how to use it. The trees sample audio and grow from the "soil" beneath them, each soil type can have its own unique audio mix coming from various audio sources. Pollen from trees can mix DNA with another tree and create a new seed, optionally with mutations. Each tree in the forest is an independent grain or voice that has its own DNA which modulates the grain's playback and FX parameters depending on how you set up that tree species (up to 4 species). The granular playback and FX are driven by a simulation of a forest that evolves through DNA mixing and mutations over generations. Grain Forest is a maxforlive granular synth and effect.
