Sound Modeler demo
Morph between two sounds, or breed them
A continuous line between a pad and a bell, or offspring that keep one parent's movement verbatim — placed on a map of the whole library.
The challenge
A preset browser is a list. It cannot say what lies between two sounds, and it cannot combine them.
The scenario
A composer has a glass pad and a metal bell and wants something 70% pad, 30% bell, but with the bell's movement.
What goes in
- Two sounds
- Any two patches in the library.
What you can ask
Illustrative prompts. Results depend on your own data and are not deterministic.
- “70% A, 30% B, but keep B's movement.”
- “Show me everything between this pad and this bell.”
- “Four variations, closer to the pad.”
How Clearception approaches it
How the work is structured. Each step shows what its output is grounded in.
Blend the DNA
ObservedThe child's DNA is the weighted blend; its genome is compiled from that.
Keep what was named
ObservedA kept section is copied verbatim from that parent — a blended LFO is neither parent's movement.
Place it in the galaxy
ObservedEvery sound sits at a fixed projection of its DNA, so similar sounds cluster.
What you get
The shape of what comes back — not a promised result.
Offspring with provenance
Each genome section labelled A, B or blend.
Why it matters
- Hear the space between
- The morph slider previews without saving; only the point you like becomes a patch.
- A library that is a map
- Warm and acoustic to the left, bright and synthetic to the right, moving and complex upward.
