Generative Instruments

Generative instruments synthesize their source material internally. Some run without MIDI; others combine free-running voices with MIDI notes. Spatial instruments publish ACN/SN3D directly and are also organized under Ambisonic Encoders.

Workflow

1. Choose an instrument and, for an Ambisonic instrument, select its output format or order. Set the REAPER track to the required channel count, then insert the plugin.
2. For an eight-lane instrument, route its outputs to the main speakers, a downstream direct panner, or Output Autogain Stereo/Quad for fold-down monitoring. For an Ambisonic instrument, follow it with an ambisonic decoder.
3. Choose a preset or initialize the instrument's internal source, then start its free-running or MIDI-controlled performance mode.
4. Shape the source, voice relationships, and timing with the instrument's primary controls.
5. Explore movement, topology, or spatial placement while listening through the established output path.

Discrete Multichannel

• Processor No Input Mixer: grows sound from an interactive eight-lane signed matrix, two effect-bearing aux returns, resonant bodies, in-loop EQ, pedal cells, and s3g Matrix movement. Its MIDI, NIM Gesture, E16, and BU16 control layer is optional.
• Processor Fault: reads generated data or file bytes as moving waveforms, joins them into stochastic curves, and reshapes them with damaged codec models and resonant wavefolding.

Ambisonic Synthesis

• Ambi Encoder Modal: shares 96 modes among four to eight independent fictional resonant bodies, sustains them through a visible Tetra 4 or Cube 8 Listener/Actuator environment, and places editable AED body points through ACN/SN3D space without a separate transient layer.
• Ambi Encoder Medium: drives an eight-node fractional-waveguide cube from MIDI, clicks, optional mono audio, or per-node Euclidean patterns, with percussive and sustained exciters, ratchets, pitch dispersion, and event-following spatial masks.
• Ambi Encoder VOT: interpolates among sixteen waveforms while voices follow editable paths through the resulting timbre field.
• Ambi Encoder Wave Terrain: turns closed contour scans across a procedural surface into oscillator waveforms and spatial positions.
• Ambi Encoder Wind: shapes broadband noise into gusts, turbulent air, and resonant material responses.
• Ambi Encoder Water: combines continuous flow noise with modeled droplets, splashes, and resonant bubbles.
• Ambi Encoder Pyrosphere: gives finite fuel, structure, and ember entities an aleatoric ignition–propagation–consequence score alongside thermal fracture, debris, plume motion, and pressurized flame jets.
• Ambi Encoder Cryosphere: gives finite plates, loads, crack tips, brine pockets, and detached ice masses an aleatoric stress–rupture–aftermath score.
• Ambi Encoder Insect: combines call-function templates with stridulation, tymbalisation, wing vibration, percussion, tremulation, and swarm motion.
• Ambi Encoder Pulsar: repeats short windowed waveforms from rhythmic rates into pitch, with recurrent-network waveform capture.
• Ambi Encoder Neural Ecology: grows recurrent node populations inside a field whose adaptive ears learn where to listen and vote on movement through a behavioral lattice score.
• Ambi Encoder Stochastic: uses second-order random walks to evolve breakpoint amplitude and duration curves.
• Ambi Encoder Wrangler: couples oscillator pairs through comparator-driven feedback shift registers for repeating but unstable patterns.

Output Formats

Processor No Input Mixer and Processor Fault use eight ordinary output lanes. Ambi Encoder Modal and Medium use 16-channel host buses; Modal can instead publish eight body stems. The other Ambi instruments use fixed 64-channel buses. In an encoded mode, the active order occupies the first (order + 1)^2 channels.
