Sea Sampler
Sea Sampler
Drop samples into the sea, then unleash flocks of fish with your keyboard to play them.
A Creative tool for generating chaotic textures
Drop in your Samples
The Sea Sampler will analyze and automap them, creating an Object
Manipulate Objects
Drag in the center to move them
Drag on edges to resize
Make them very small to remove
Spawn Fish
Each pitch you play spawns a different color fish. The fish's starting speed depends on how hard you play
When fish collide with objects, the object's sample gets triggered, whatever pitch the fish is
The faster the fish, the louder it will be
Control the Fish
-
Emitter
This is where fish spawn from. When you drag it around, it will attract the fish. The faster it is moved, the more the fish will be attracted. Note that if you turn down Visual Range, the fish further away won’t be able to see the emitter.
-
Max Fish
This controls how many fish there can be at once. Once the limit is reached, the oldest fish are replaced by the new ones.
-
Pedal
Hold down the Pedal to keep fish alive even after you have let go of the key
-
Modwheel
The higher you put the Modwheel, the more often fish will emit
-
Pitchwheel
Speed up or slow down the boid simulation’s framerate using the Pitchwheel
-
Expression (CC 11)
Move Expression to twirl the emitter in a circle
