Dystopian Waves Celium Granular Max for Live DeviceIntro price until August 31 — regular price: $30. Celium – A New Realm of Granular Sound. Celium is an advanced Max for Live granular instrument designed for deep sonic exploration, from lush cinematic textures to abstract experimental layers. It offers a highly flexible grain engine with precise control over every detail of your sound. At its core is a dual-buffer engine with Live and Freeze modes, each supporting two audio sources. You can blend between sources using crossfading, inter-grain transitions (where a single grain starts from Source 1 and ends in Source 2), and per-source grain probability. Create rich granular detail with up to 70 grains per second and grain durations up to 2 seconds. Shape each grain using per-grain effects, including: Four types of distortion (with probability control). Ring modulation. Panning. Randomized filtering. Pitch processing is equally detailed, with pitch shift and spread up to ±12 semitones, selectable spread direction, major/minor pitch quantization, and probabilistic pitch randomness. Further shape your grains with vibrato, bend, jitter, and stretch over grain life. Trigger grains using simple, random, or Euclidean rhythmic systems. Choose from multiple playback directions including forward, reverse, and palindrome modes. https://youtu.be/UEblN6Jw5A8 Key Features: Dual-Buffer Engine. Live & Freeze modes. Each mode supports 2 audio sources. Morph between sources with source crossfade. Per-grain source probability for randomized grain generating. Inter-grain crossfade: A single grain can begin in Source 1 and end in Source 2. Grain Control. Up to 70 grains per second. Grain duration up to 2 seconds. Multiple playback directions: Forward, Reverse, Palindrome. Grain envelope shaping with adjustable window curves. Visual grain display for intuitive feedback. Per-Grain Effects: Distortion with 4 unique algorithms (with probability control). Ring modulation (with probability control). Stereo panning. Per-grain filtering with randomization options. Pitch Modulation & Processing. Pitch shift and spread up to ±12 semitones. Selectable spread direction (up, down, both). Pitch quantization (major & natural/harmonic minor scales). Pitch randomness control with probability targeting. Per-grain: Pitch vibrato, pitch bend, Pitch jitter, and stretch across each grain's lifetime. Grain Triggering Systems. Simple triggering. Random triggering. Euclidean rhythm-based triggering for structured repetition and patterns. Interface & Workflow. Zoomable parameters for precise control. Organized sections for triggering, pitch, pitch modulation, effects, and routing. LFO and automation mapping for most parameters. https://youtu.be/dD4fDfT4s_w https://youtu.be/5OpKCKhT0J4 Read More

DamyFx Mr FlangerMr Flanger is a classic, warm modulation effect that creates a distinctive "flying" or "jet-like" sound by mixing the original signal with a delayed, time-modulated copy of it. Controls and Their Function: Rate (Modulation Frequency) Controls the speed at which the modulated delay oscillates (in Hz or BPM)Phase. Adjusts the phase shift between the oscillations of the left and right signals (if in stereo). Depth Determines the intensity of the modulation, or how much the delay varies from the base time (min). Min (Minimum Delay) Sets the minimum delay (in ms) applied to the delayed signal. Feedback (Regeneration) Controls how much of the delayed signal is fed back into the input, creating resonance. Dry/Wet (Original/Processed Signal Balance) Adjusts the mix between the original (dry) and processed (wet) signals. Read More
