Sea Sampler

Sea Sampler is a super unique and creative tool for generating chaotic textures.

Drop samples into the sea, then unleash flocks of fish with your keyboard to play them.

THE FUN STUFF

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 simulation’s framerate using the Pitchwheel

Expression (CC 11)

Move Expression to twirl the emitter in a circle

Control the Objects

Change the sound of objects by changing their pitch, filtering them, sending them to different reverbs, or enveloping them.

Features

• Manipulate Objects - drag in their center to move them, or drag on edges to resize. You can also remove them by making them very small
• 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.
