I was taking a walk through some fields of abandoned Siberian synthesizers and came across this little fellow.
It's a multi-sampler, containing all (or at least most) of the glitch samples contained in the RS sound libraries, housed in three separate "banks" and mapped to each note of the keyboard.
But wait it does get interesting.... this device relies heavily on randomness and probability . Using it's built in Arp and by just playing one note, you can randomize the sample selection across all three banks, with random and probabilistic triggering of FX such as note repeats, note lengths, pitch bends, pitch jumps as well as some glitchy weird effects. The end result is an endless wave of continuously changing and never repeating chaos.
There's also some fine tune controls/effects for things such as pitch, spread, distortion, delay, reverb etc. As well as bitcrusher assigned to Modwheel, and momentary Reverb and Delay sends mapped to Pitch Wheel.
With these generator-type devices, the idea is to typically arm a track and records its output - or just draw a note and bounce to track. From there you cut, comp, mute, stretch, reverse etc. to arrange something interesting.
All stock devices so anyone can use it. Be sure to have the transport running during operation.
Hopefully I will get round to doing a demo video this weekend, so keep an eye out for that.
I hope you have fun with one
cheers,
