Grotta 3D

€50

The spatial version of our granular realtime fx, adding control over the spatial dimension of the sound. The device implements a multichannel spatial system enabling quadraphonic or Ambisonic sound spatialisation.

GROTTA 3D is a Max for Live spatial audio effect implementing a real-time granular synthesis algorithm, using a multi-voice audio scanner that creates and displaces a constant stream of destructured, crossfading sections of the input sound.

Pitch, size, windowing and density of each grain can be modulated to create a deep variety of sound processing, with additional blur and freeze effects on-chain to generate vast and dense immersive soundscapes.

The device includes a module for multichannel spatial distribution to work with Ambisonic systems, enabling interconnection with the E4L Master Bus device, the multichannel decoder for Ableton by Envelop.
