Amber-X is a free granular synthesis application for OS X, based upon Amber by Matt McCabe and Jennifer Bernard. Amber-X takes in WAVs and AIFFs and breaks them into tiny grains, or sub-sounds, then reassembles them in interesting ways defined by the user.
Amber-X allows for control over grain size and density either linearly or with graphing functions, grain generation type, and grain envelopes, among other parameters.
What's new in this version:
- Includes numerous fixes to the audio code to lessen distortion and clicks and fix morphing among other things. Fixes are thanks to Jennifer Bernard.
- Fixed a problem with WAV format output in which Amber-X wasn't finding the file to convert.
- Fixed a problem in which Amber-X could attempt to save WAVs as AIFFs or vice-versa. If you try to save a file with a .wav suffix when WAV conversion is disabled in the preferences, Amber-X will automatically substitute .aiff, and similarly with using .aiff when WAV conversion is enabled.
