Description

Chants is a 2 voices granular pitch shifter & plate reverb audio effect.

Two independant voices can scale, pitch-shift and reverb any audio input.

A third reverb and scaler can be added to the initial audio input.

Chants is inspired by Clouds from Mutable Instruments, but I didn’t used any source code from Mutable. Like Clouds, granular events can be played constantly, or at a defined rate, or even randomly with a defined random rate. The pitch of each Pitch-shifter can also be played randomly and this random range can be defined, and synced to the tempo.

Scale act like a simple auto-tune, but not so powerful for low and mid frequencies. I designed this effect mostly for a human voices and high mono melodies.

Independant plate reverb for each voices and sound sources can be applied with time and mix.

And many more possibilities like random panning, feedback to send back to the pitch-shifter the sound he already pitch-shifted, a pre-delay etc.

Chants is a free Max for Live device, it’s thousands hours of work, but fuck audio capitalism, we want to make music, not money !
