“…as if the action was a natural outgrowth of the thought.” – Stephen King, ‘Salem’s Lot
Outgrowth is a sample-based instrument built collaboratively by Aqeel Aadam Sound and BlankFor.ms. Designed with creativity, flexibility, and performance in mind, Outgrowth provides unique, multifaceted ways to reimagine audio with your mouse or keyboard.
Outgrowth features five unique engines for processing samples:
- Stem: A basic one-shot style player that repitches the sample
- Retain: A granular stretching engine that sustains the sample indefinitely
- Reflect: A looping algorithm that loops the sample at a consistent rate across all pitches
- Radiate: An additive resynthesizer that maps each harmonic of the sample to a sine wave oscillator
- Delve: A wavetable synthesizer in which the sample becomes the basis for a completely unique wavetable
Outgrowth also features five standout audio effects for shaping your sounds further:
- Subvert: A unique shaper that flattens or inverts the sample’s volume
- Submerge: A singular effect for adding dimensional realism to sample repitching
- Strike: A dynamic control for adding an acoustic-like response to sample playback and performance
- Ripple: A one-knob tape emulation handcrafted by BlankFor.ms that can be subtle, deconstructive, and anywhere in between
- Smear: A pre-ADSR reverb for congealing notes and blurring boundaries between pitch and texture
And further still, Outgrowth offers a robust modulation matrix for generative or performative control over all parameters. Control every single parameter within Outgrowth via LFOs, unique random sources, velocity, note pitch, aftertouch, MPE control, and more.
Finally, Outgrowth offers a robust preset system, including more than 50 bespoke presets and over 100 samples by BlankFor.ms. Explore ethereal ambient pads, haunted lofi keys, shimmering tape-infused plucks, gnarled percussive textures, and more.
