Grotta – 3D

The spatial version of our granular realtime fx to add control over the spatial dimension of the sound. The device implements a multichannel spatial system enabling quadriphonic or Ambisonic sound spatialisation.

GROTTA 3D is a Max4Live spatial audio effect implementing a real-time granular synthesis algorithm, using a multi-voices audio scanner that creates and displace a constant stream of destructured crossfading sections of the input sound source. 

Pitch, size, windowing and density of each grain can be modulated to create a deep variety of sound processing with an additional blurring and freeze effect provided on-chain to generate vast and dense immersive soundscapes. 

The device implements a module for multichannel spatial distribution to work with Ambisonic systems enabling interconnection with the E4L Master Bus device, the multichannel decoder for Ableton by Envelop.

The device has been developed in Max (gen~ / rnbo~) from Cycling74

Minimum Requirements: Ableton Live 10.1.18 with Max4Live
