Grain Forest is a maxforlive granular synth and effect. The granular playback and FX are driven by a simulation of a forest that evolves through DNA mixing and mutations over generations.
Each tree in the forest is an independent grain or voice that has its own DNA which modulates the grain’s playback and FX parameters depending on how you set up that tree species (up to 4 species).
Pollen from trees can mix DNA with another tree and create a new seed, optionally with mutations. The trees sample audio and grow from the “soil” beneath them, each soil type can have its own unique audio mix coming from various audio sources. This all adds up to a literally evolving soundscape sampled from multiple audio sources! Grain Forest can be a granular delay, a texture, a glitchy/chaotic effect, a dynamic sampler, or whatever way you figure out how to use it.
The device, user manual, 32 presets, 6 samples
FEATURES:
Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files β These are Ableton Live Packs and will install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live. When you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as βLegacyβ. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files β These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. Weβd advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
Control Surface Scripts β Please refer to the individual User Guides provided with your download, an abridged version of the installation will be shown further down this page.
ClyphX Pro β Please refer directly to the manual and installation video for this specific product.
Novation Circuit Packs β These are provided as individual Sysex Files and as a complete bank file. All are to be installed using a version of the Circuit Editor and not via Novations Components back up utility.

Susanne Kirchmayr –
This is a really sweet effect, instant love π The routing options and the adjustable levels of parameter randomization won me over at first glance.
Travis –
Another awesome instrument from Bastan. Rich, layered soundscapes aplenty.
Douglas OConnor –
Grain Forest is an amazing tool for sound experimentation. That you can have multiple sources for the “soil” is unique and allows for random textures and layers. The possibilities!
