Synths node
Molder
An evolving sound-design tool: it decomposes a recorded sample into tracked harmonic partials plus residual noise, then Roll mutates a parameter genome and re-renders a new sample from that — each roll drifting further from the last, not from the original source.
What it does
Molder is a synth: it turns notes into sound. It takes audio in and gives audio out.
Try it
Record a found sound, then hit Roll a dozen times in a row and listen to it wander into something alien.
