Max for Live Grain Scanner by Amazing Noises for Ableton Live

"Grain Scanner lets you design experimental noises, glitchy effects, alien textures and massive clouds of ambience. Its advanced sound engine turns any sample into a blank slate for otherworldly synth parts.

A 10-voice polyphonic granular synth and re-synthesizer, Grain Scanner chops samples into small slices, then re-arranges and plays them back in a multitude of ways. The result is sound that lives somewhere between the organic and the synthetic.

Grain Scanner is set up for intuitively creating evolving textures that change in complex and unpredictable ways. Its advanced granular engine can play up to 1000 microscopic slices of a sample simultaneously. A dedicated modulation page features four LFOs. Modulate each of the 10 voices individually or modulate the global parameters with up to four modulation sources at once. And its step sequencer and separate effects panel let you mold your sound even further.

The Pack comes with more than 100 presets to play with, and a database of dozens of source sounds ready to be bent, twisted and transformed. You can also import your own samples to create a completely personal sound. What’s more, Grain Scanner was made with Push and other keyboard controllers in mind, so you can easily start making melodies and harmonies with sounds you designed yourself.

Key Features:

10-voice polyphony with an advanced granular engine
Advanced 4x modulation system and step-sequencer
Dedicated effects page
Perfect for Push and other keyboard controllers
Key Follow adds depth and expression to your performances
118 presets"

"I may have found the most amazing synth out there. The Chroma Polaris. It's not perfect - but I'm blown away. You can set the release to infinity and just drone out with this. Sync and Ring mod, dual VCOs, It's just a beautiful synth.

"Running my Tempest through a Geiger Counter for some nasty Industrial noise drums. This is what the Tempest sounds like when it's being destroyed by the WMD Geiger Counter. The WMD Geiger Counter is like a wave folding type distortion."

A Relatively Brief History of Synthesizers

Published on Nov 5, 2019 SynthDan1

"On October 2nd, 2019, I was invited to the College of Southern Nevada to give a talk on the history of electronic synthesizers, at CSN's 2nd Annual Audio Industry Event. There are lots of important inventors and instruments that I couldn't fit into my talk, but I tried to hit the major highlights of the strange and winding path that synthesizers have taken, from the earliest days of analog modular synthesizers, to the complex days of sophisticated digital instruments, and then, oddly, the winding road back to analog modular synthesizers, which are more popular today than they've ever been before."
