Description
This device is a MacOSX software developed in MAXMSP/Gen~ that aims to explore the concept of buffer data manipulation, inspired by the error correction/anti-skip units of old CD players. It creates a time-delayed "ghost copy" of an audio file that can be manipulated in real time with feedback lines and DC filtering applied directly to the buffer reader index, a unique feature that I believe doesn't exist elsewhere.
This results in distinctive sound variations and glitches that can be recorded instantly. The software includes an 8-step sequencer with storable random steps, enabling random jumps from one point of the file to another.
