Hadron Particle Synthesizer

Mr.Ned Rush clued me into this new Max for Live device last night called the Hadron Particle Synthesizer. The Hadron synth is designed by Partikkel Audio for Max for Live and is FREE, they promise a VST version later this year for those of us without M4L. Here's the down low:

"The Hadron plugin is your ultimate granular synthesis tool. In fact it is such a complete implementation of granular synthesis we’ve renamed the technique to particle synthesis. The plugin is of course free and open source.

For your convenience, we’ve made a preset system allowing you to quickly get started making music with it. All presets have selected “expression controls” to allow creativity and flexibility, and you can morph between presets for ultimate creativity. The plugin comes with a basic set of presets, and you can buy additional preset packs to expand your sonic palette. This kind of presets is called “states” in Hadron.

Hadron can be used as a synthesizer or an audio effect. It can also seamlessly morph between different sound processing methods, so you can make the plugin gradually change from synthesizer to audio processing mode. This is all part of the state morphing system, accessible via the big 2D joystick control.

You can also use live sampling as a sound source for manipulation with Hadron, as well as audio files and live audio input."

This is the 5th update to my rapidly expanding patch, i've added midi functionality so you can use the patch with any midi controller, it has 5 x 2 x 8 shift functions so you need a minimum of buttons to get the most out of it, i'm using a korg nanoKontrol to muck about with it....
