Isotonik Studios have released GROTTA 3D by Outer Fields, available for £35.00.
GROTTA 3D is a Max for Live spatial audio effect that combines real-time granular synthesis with advanced multi-channel spatial distribution, enabling compatibility with quadriphonic and Ambisonic systems in Ableton, to transform your sound into dynamic and immersive soundscapes.
By combining real-time granular synthesis with advanced spatial distribution, GROTTA 3D offers control over the spatial dimension of your sound.
By deconstructing audio into streams of overlapping, crossfading grains, the device allows you to manipulate sound on a micro level while simultaneously placing each grain within a 3D spatial field.
It’s equipped with:
- Multi-voice audio scanner: Continuously transforms your input into evolving, textured soundscapes.
- Granular controls: Modulate grain pitch, size, density, and windowing to create anything from subtle ambient textures to intense sonic disintegration.
- Blurring and freeze effects: Add depth and reverberation to your sound.
- Spatial distribution module: Compatible with quadriphonic and Ambisonic systems, allowing auto distribution in a 3D environment.
GROTTA 3D provides an practical way to process and spatialize sound in real time in Ableton. By leveraging a multi-voice granular synthesis algorithm, it breaks down your input into layers of evolving grains. Each grain is dynamically modulated and spatially distributed, making the device perfect for creating:
- Expansive soundscapes for films, games, and virtual environments.
- Immersive live performances that envelope audiences in sound.
- Experimental music and installations that challenge traditional audio boundaries. Through integration with Ableton Live’s E4L Master Bus, the open-source Ambisonic Decoder by Envelop.
GROTTA 3D ensures seamless interconnection with advanced Ambisonic workflows, enabling creators to design for multichannel systems effortlessly. With its intuitive controls and flexible modulation options, it makes complex spatial audio design accessible.
GROTTA 3D requires Ableton Live 10 Standard with MaxforLive or Ableton Live 10 Suite, Live 12 required for provided Live Set, all other versions can use the .amxd file.
