Loomer and Computer Music Magazine release Cumulus - Granular Sampler Plug-in for Windows, Mac and Linux (VST, AU, RTAS)

Loomer and Computer Music Magazine have announced the release of Cumulus, which is available free on the cover-mounted DVD of Computer Music magazine.

Cumulus is a granular sampler which radically transforms sample content by breaking it into tiny slithers of audio called grains and reorganizing them to form new sounds. Cumulus is capable of a wide ranges of timbres: from evolving atmospheric soundscapes; to organic physical textures.

Up to eight Scenes can be created; a Scene corresponding to a particular sample position and set of synthesis parameters. Scenes can be played in realtime via MIDI, or arranged internally using the built-in sequencer.

Cumulus is available for 32- and 64-bit Windows, Mac OS X and Linux in VST, AU and RTAS plug-in formats.
