Man, what an ordeal.

This is a granular, stochastic remix of my track "Sycophantic Lovers" using SECTOR for iPad.

Sorry it's a bit quiet.

Awesomely disorienting.  Maybe also disorienting because I get it confused with my iVCS3 track this week. Nice stuff.

Amazing how you get so many textures out of (essentially) the same material. Very impressive.

great sound manipulation! high level creativity smile

Question: this Sector App is kind of "loop slicer" with stutter effects, isnt it? Kind of effectrix or something like that, but with the possibility to program probabilities? Do you know any similar plugin that works in Ableton (VST, AU...)? I

Thank you. I'll take the compliment, this was a bit of a "copout" of not wanting to invent new material this week, hah. But I'm happy with the result!

Hulo Tobogan. First, thanks for the compliment!
Second - it's a grain slicer, so it makes x amount of "segments" from the source material, each with a collection of grains of sound. Each segment can then be connect to any other segment, morphed and with the option for stochastic processes. You can also apply this stochastic system to a step sequencer (or at least, a type of).

I don't know any plugins though, I'm afraid. However, I did write a really sloppy Max4Live patch to do something similar to clips, at random rather than with weighted probability. It was a very sloppy patch, but it wouldn't be too hard for someone who knows the Live API better than I do to create something fairly similar. As for the grain slicing, that would be a bit harder I think. Still, perfectly achievable with M4L, but beyond my time commitments to create unfortunately.

Excellent track on it's own, and also a very interesting transformation of the original.
Good work.

Wonderful and interesting mess of noise

Yeah, it's pretty chaotic eh? Thanks for listening.
