Klevgrand ParrotFrom subtle beat variation or harmonic accents to glitchy mayhem, Parrot adds something unique and interesting to anything that you feed it with. This effect will help ignite your next dance-floor hit or add that extra je ne sais quoi of flavour to your mix. Whatever you feed the Parrot, it won't let you down. Parrot creates rhythmic patterns by sampling small slices of incoming audio, and repeating it in a sequenced loop. With control over loop length, pitch, variation, dynamics and filtering, the result can easily take off in any direction you want. Each slice becomes part of a loop that keeps reshaping itself as you adjust parameters, making patterns that feel alive. The sequencer reacts strongly to small changes, so even minor tweaks can introduce new pulses, stutters or harmonic shifts. Parrot can hold on to a steady rhythm, but it's just as comfortable dissolving into broken loops and glitchy textures that evolve over time. When synced to your DAW it slots neatly into structured productions, while the free‑run mode opens up a more exploratory, generative side. The smallest change can create a new pattern, almost like turning a kaleidoscope and watching the pieces fall into a fresh formation. As the loop repeats, the interplay between timing, pitch and modulation build a sense of movement that keeps the rhythm from feeling static. Filtering can push the sound forward or bury it in grainy motion, and dynamic shaping helps each step take on its own character. Over longer sessions, patterns can morph in ways that feel unexpected yet connected to the original source, gradually forming textures that sit somewhere between groove and ambience. From gentle movement to complete fragmentation, Parrot acts as a creative companion that constantly feeds new rhythmic ideas back to you, encouraging ongoing exploration and rewarding every small adjustment with a new possibility. Features Loop‑based live sampling with sequenced playback (step-sequencer with up to 16 steps). Per‑step pitch control and accent. Variable note values for evolving rhythms. Pan alternation following sequencer. Evolving filter section with multiple modes. Evolving volume curve. Separate dry-signal filter. DAW sync or free‑running mode. Humanizer for subtle timing variation. Mute/Solo during sampling. Lock parameters for save preset-switching. Nice preset collection.
