Mizar Granular: a new generative granular instrument

Mizar Granular interface: starfield panorama with three layers, four sources and the controls

Four sounds. Endless landscapes.

Today I am releasing Mizar Granular, a generative granular instrument for Ableton Live (Max for Live) and for any DAW as an Audio Unit and VST3 plugin.

You give it four recordings: a shore, a voice, a piano, a field recording. Mizar listens to them, finds their most interesting fragments and lets them drift on three granular layers, NEBULA, ORBIT and CORE, like stars across a night sky. Press GENERATE and a new landscape grows from the same sounds. It comes from my work with soundscape and listening, and it is the first of my tools that I am offering as a paid release.

  • 4 sources with level, mute and solo: drop any audio file
  • 3 granular layers with pitch, speed, pan, reading position, FREEZE and SOLO
  • 8 chord colours, stardust particles and a built-in space
  • FREE, MIDI and TRIG modes, every control MIDI-mappable
  • Max for Live instrument + AU + VST3 for macOS, VST3 for Windows
