Natural Selection Bundle by Dillon Bastan

Natural Selection Bundle by Dillon Bastan is a revolutionary approach to sound design that combines the power of two devices: Natural Selection P and Natural Selection S. Both devices explore the concept of evolutionary sound design, allowing you to mix and mutate preset parameters like DNA to create entirely new sounds over generations.

In this bundle, you get access to two distinct tools, each with its own unique capabilities. Together, they offer an unparalleled experience in sonic exploration, helping you discover innovative sounds tailored to your preferences with minimal manual intervention.


Natural Selection P:

Natural Selection P allows you to apply the genetic algorithm-based preset evolution process to any external device or rack in Ableton Live. This device treats the parameter values of your external gear as DNA, mixing and mutating them to generate new sounds across multiple generations. With this powerful tool, you play the role of the environment, selecting which sounds should continue evolving until they match your sonic vision.

Key Features:

  • Works with external devices and racks in Ableton
  • Genetic algorithm treats presets as DNA for sound evolution
  • Create new ‘child’ presets by mixing and mutating parameters
  • Manage external device parameters with filtering and scaling options
  • Morph up to 8 presets using XY quadrants and blend sliders
  • Limitations: Only works with automatable and visible parameters, with a maximum of 127 parameters for plugins

Includes:

  • Natural Selection P device
  • User manual
  • 12 versatile presets

Natural Selection S:

Natural Selection S offers the same genetic preset evolution but focuses on an internal versatile poly synth, rhythm generator, and effects system. Instead of working with external devices, you use the built-in synth engine to craft new sounds through generations of mutation and selection. This device is ideal for those who want to experiment with sound design directly within Ableton, leveraging a variety of built-in synthesis options.

Key Features:

  • Internal poly synth with 5 voice types (e.g., oscillators, resonators, wavetables)
  • Genetic algorithm for preset evolution, focusing on internal synth presets
  • Rhythmic note generator and built-in effects system (distortion, chorus, phaser, delay, reverb)
  • Morph and evolve sounds with intuitive controls, without manual parameter adjustments
  • Create new preset ‘family trees’ with mutation modes, randomization, and seed options

Includes:

  • Natural Selection S device
  • User manual
  • 117 presets (some presets include multiple variations)

Why Get the Bundle?

The Natural Selection Bundle offers a comprehensive sound design toolkit that combines both external and internal synthesis options. Whether you’re crafting new sounds from your favorite external devices or diving into the internal synth engine, this bundle gives you the flexibility to explore sound evolution in any setup.

By combining Natural Selection P with Natural Selection S, you unlock a full range of creative possibilities, from evolving external device presets to exploring deep sound design with an internal poly synth. This bundle is perfect for producers and sound designers looking to push the boundaries of their sonic creations using intuitive, evolution-based techniques.

PLUS: You get a discount on buying both separately!
