Wow this looks great - I am so glad I got a Mac recently

OSC support is coming - this will be great with Konkreet Performer or Lemur

So it only runs on a Mac OS?

Looks like it - and only a standalone but that's not a major problem

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to check this out.

I guess I need to try the demo - I must admit the demo vids are rather poor but it looks interesting from the descriptions

Anyone else get a chance to play with this?

Looks great but I couldn't get into it - the whole interface is qwerty keyboard controlled primarily - although there are options for OSC etc.

I just bought it and I've been playing around for a few hours. You have to read the manual a few times to figure out what is happening.

Basically, as I understand it, this is a musique concrete device at it's soul. You chop up the sound into pieces and stir them around. But the parameters are controlled by stochastic processes and there are a great many complex modulators. It definitely is a 'heady' approach and geeks like me will probably take a shine to it.

It will probably take me a few weeks to get my head around it.

It does crash a bit, so save your work-in-progress.

The DRM is based on one of your MAC addresses. In my case I use a USB WIFI adapter, so I can just plug it into another machine - the MAC device is your dongle. Also if I need a change the developer will do that for me.

The presets are saved in an XML file in the data directory.

I hear that a VST may be in the works.

I use the Windows version on Windows 8.

Tried the demo few hours, I couldn't get into it at all. I wanted to like it, but I just can't. I don't hear anything really special that can't be done in some of my other granulators neither... Something I missed or don't get?

I bought Cosmosƒ in Decembre and I'm loving it, here are some experimental vids:

Experiment with Cosmosƒ processing a simple female vocal sample from my Alchemy Bank Alchemistry Beyond - please protect your ears between 6:50 and 7:15 as there are some feedback overloads:

and a field recording from a tuna auction recorded in Tokyo:

And some audio experiments with raw samples generated in Cosmosƒ which were then chopped up and furtherly processed with other Plugs inside Logic:

What's the difference between this and say mammut?
