Description
Quadr is halfway between a granular player and a sample manipulation tool. It lets you play up to four chunks of a sample simultaneously, with the chunks that can be few milliseconds long up to five seconds long and can be played in different ways. You can adjust manually (or through automations) the positions of the chunks, or you can move them with a sort of LFO with different shapes. In this case, interesting and unusual glitches and fractured sounds will come up. Pair this device with a delay or a reverb, and create complex and ever evolving structures.
The reading rates of the chunks can be adjusted inside a wide range, for very different outcomes.
Quadr comes as effect, so it can be inserted after an instrument, blending its sounds with those from Quadr.
