Isotonik Studios have released Superposition, available for $18.50.
Superposition is a Max for Live instrument designed for sample mangling, generative melodies, and glitchy effects. It features a probabilistic concatenative multisampler with built-in multi-effects and modulation options.
Transition between playback “States” using a Markov system or MIDI notes, with modes for time stretching, grain, and spectral effects. Ideal for genres like jungle, DnB, ambient, and experimental sound design.
Superposition is a monophonic probabilistic concatenative multisampler with an inbuilt multi-fx and modulation system. It centers around transitioning between playback States; each State essentially is a preset for playback (including playing different samples), FX, and modulation settings/mappings.
Additionally there are three playback modes (normal, grain, spectral) for time stretching and freezing effects. You can transition between playback States using the Markov probability system or through MIDI notes (or both simultaneously!).
The device is pretty open ended and has many uses but it is great for sample mangling/cut up, generative melodies, jungle DnB and other breakbeats, glitchy FX/rhythms/textures, ambient progressions, and quite a lot more depending how you set it up!
Features include:
- Probabilistic Markov system that can switch between different playback States
- Manual and two modes of Auto triggering the next playback State
- MIDI control of playback States and gating playback
- Parameter transition gliding
- Ability to lock and loop the last set number of transitions (for a repetitive rhythm)
- 2D interface for editing the different States
- Up to 16 Playback States of various parameters:
- Selection of playback between up to 6 samples (which can be warped individually to retain the rhythm of their original tempo)
- 3 different start position modes: percentage of sample, bars/beats, and a No-Start mode where the last sample and left off position are used instead
- 3 different playback modes: normal, granular, and spectral. Granular and spectral have a speed parameter for time stretching. Granular mode has grain size and spray options
- Playback direction, loop length, repitions, volume fade window, and independent auto transitioning parameters
- Basic effects: filter, distortion, sample reduction, wavefolding, phaser, delay, and reverb
- Modulation sources: ADS envelope, step sequencer, LFO, and random spray. Most of the State parameters mentioned above can be modulated. Modulation values and their mappings are individual per State!
- Transition probabilities
- Randomization options for each parameter category
Superposition requires Ableton Live 10 Standard with MaxforLive Installed or Ableton Live 10 Suite.
