Description

Update V0.04 should fix the clicks and improve the LFO. gFreez_mr is a sound generator based on grains instead of the longer samples (or FM or feedback algorithms) that are often used. gFreez_mr allows the capture and playback of four separate grains of frozen spectra, and then uses a four-phase LFO and LFO-controlled panning to animate those four components into a constantly shifting atmospheric sound. gFreez_mr is particularly good for synthetic, electronic sounds, and it has a number of functions that are specifically designed for live use.

The freeze code is based on the work of Jean-Francois Charles: https://cycling74.com/toolbox/charles-spectral-tutorials/

    There's no way I can record or 'grab' audio in this device. No matter how much I click on the grab button, it doesn't record anything. Dead silence...

    Same here. Hope it gets fixed it looks like a great device.

    Argh! Forgot to 'freeze' the device before posting. Ironic, I suppose! 0v02 should fix it... (and it seems to work best in an 'Audio' track...)

    So does 0v02 fix the problems? Oh, and I meant a 'MIDI' track in my previous comment...

    Great device, the ambient machine!
    BUT it has audio glitches (tiny rop outs) when I use it... Am I doing something wrong?

    Version 0.04 ads new LFO functionality (various transfer functions), and I have tried to fix the audio problems (the granular playback was masking them very well). I found some clicks, but no drop outs, so I have fixed the clicks. As always, let me now of any bugs or problems.
    Look out for sFreez_mr, a variation on gFreez_mr...

    Pretty radical, but I seem to be getting a lot of pops still...

    I'm still investigating the pops...
