GRANULAR SYNTH AND EFFECT DRIVEN BY AN EVOLVING FOREST SIMULATION

Grain Forest is a maxforlive granular synth and effect. The granular playback and FX are driven by a simulation of a forest that evolves through DNA mixing and mutations over generations.

Each tree in the forest is an independent grain or voice that has its own DNA which modulates the grain’s playback and FX parameters depending on how you set up that tree species (up to 4 species).

Pollen from trees can mix DNA with another tree and create a new seed, optionally with mutations. The trees sample audio and grow from the “soil” beneath them, each soil type can have its own unique audio mix coming from various audio sources.

This all adds up to a literally evolving soundscape sampled from multiple audio sources! Grain Forest can be a granular delay, a texture, a glitchy/chaotic effect, a dynamic sampler, or whatever way you figure out how to use it.
