ADSR are offering 50% off Factoid 2 by Anemone for a limited time, now only $15.50, (usually $3`.00). The offer ends July 1st.
Factoid is a lightweight music plugin and standalone application that lets you remix and randomize any audio clip. Sharing the same machine learning decomposition engine than Factorsynth, it decomposes any sound into a set of layers that can be manually remixed, muted or randomly shifted in time to change the temporal structure. Create new drum patterns on the fly, turn melodies into textures, remix and randomize full mixes and experiment with any kind of sound!
Factoid version 2 is a complete re-implementation of the original Max For Live device as a VST/AU plugin and standalone application. It includes new features such as individual component control and sound export.
Based on the same machine learning decomposition engine than Factorsynth, Factoid is able to extract between 2 and 8 components that overlap in time in the original sample. For example, in a drum loop, it can often separate snare from kick even if they play at the same time in the original clip. Once extracted, the different layers can be remixed and displaced in time, with or without quantization.
Both Factoid and Factorsynth are based on the idea of decomposing sounds into spectrally- and temporally-similar components. However, Factorsynth is a full-fledged sound design studio allowing cross-synthesis and component editing, whereas Factoid selects some of the features of its bigger sibling and focuses on easily generating variations of loops with a much simpler interface and less CPU and memory consumption.

Factoid 2 is available to PC and Mac users (VST3 and AU).
