  1. 11:34The question mark toggle, which makes every knob explain itself on touch
  2. 12:44Collections and fragments, and what the length control actually changes
  3. 13:51Mirage: why source and process is not a wet and dry mix
  4. 19:30Stuck and Disorder, the probabilities of holding and of blending past collections
  5. 24:04Rate shifting pitch and speed up roughly two octaves and back down
  6. 26:11Absence as amplitude modulator one way, as a gate the other

What it does

An audio processor that listens to the input and cuts it into collections of fragments, then replays those collections with varying degrees of failure. Mirage sets the balance between source and processed channels, though neither is a clean dry signal. Stuck, Disorder and Repeat set probabilities for holding a collection, blending in past ones and looping, while Rate shifts pitch and speed and Absence gates the result.

In the demo

Jade works it on a piano part in AUM, turning the help overlay on so each knob explains itself, then dropping the collection length to four fragments to hear the mechanism. She moves it onto pop drums and a synth, building a patch as she goes.

Worth knowing

Almost every control is a probability, so the same settings rarely produce the same result twice, and there is no in-app preset saving beyond copy and paste. K-Devices sells a desktop version through their own site.
