Uroboro is a playable infinite granular instrument. It is built from any sound you feed into it. A file or live input becomes a playable field of grains: rhythmic or suspended, clear or overdriven, fragile or endlessly held. It can follow MIDI like an instrument, but its real character lies between loop, texture and sustained motion.

Uroboro is a playable infinite granular instrument. It is built from any sound you feed into it.

Controls

gain

Sets the level of the live input before it enters the granular engine.

Amount

Controls how many grains are produced and therefore the density of the cloud.

Speed

Sets the rhythmic rate at which new grains are triggered.

Size

Sets the duration of each grain, from short particles to broad overlapping fragments.

Pitch

Transposes the granular layer in semitones.

Smooth

Shapes the grain envelope: lower values are sharper, higher values blend grains softly.

Excitement

Adds animated variation and brightness to the granular texture.

Volume

Sets the level of the current layer.

Drive

Pushes the signal into soft saturation and heavier overdrive.

Tone

Darkens or brightens the driven signal.

Delay

Adds repeating echoes after the granular and drive stages.

Reverb

Places the result in a diffuse artificial space.

Decay

Controls how long the reverb tail continues.
