The Blend has been released! A unique instrument for textural, granular, and gating effects -- part synthesizer, part sampler, part vocoder...

>>Get it here...

I'm just putting the final touches on to The Blend. The basic concept to this instrument is simple -- take two audio sources and multiply them together. These audio source can be:

-an input (e.g. microphone, guitar, keyboard)

-a sample (e.g. a drum loop)

-a built-in synthesizer

Between any of these sources, signals can be multiplied directly (think of it like intersecting two mountain ranges), or a threshold gate of one can open and close the flow of another (when a certain volume is reached on one, the other is allowed to play).

These allow for some very interesting polyrhythmic and granular interactions of audio.

Special tricks like using a microphone to open a sound gate (breath-controlled beats for example), and a basic type of vocoding (by multiplying voice with synthesizer) are also easy to achieve.

Will be released in a few days.

Happy tweaking!
