A sample becomes an evolving cloud.
The sound is spread into a cloud that keeps evolving while you hold it.
Use it for pads, beds and atmospheres.
Sample transformation instrument
ORVO
Stretch sound until it becomes something else.
Load a sound, choose a transformation engine and shape it with PULSE sequencing, drawn motion, four LFOs, macros and a complete effects rack. ORVO is designed for the moment a familiar sample needs to become an entirely new instrument.
Standalone preview build available for Windows x64.

How you use it
Four engines, four things one sample can become.
Load a sound once. Each engine takes it somewhere different, and you can move between them without loading it again.
A sample becomes a rhythm.
Stretch the sound against the tempo and let the PULSE gate sequencer cut a pattern into it.
Use it for gated phrases and moving loops.
A sample becomes tape.
The sound is treated like a reel of tape, with the movement that comes with one.
Use it for wobble and worn-in character.
A sample becomes a texture.
The sound is cut into grains and rebuilt as a granular texture.
Use it for textures built from a single recording.
Interface demonstration
The workflow in motion.
ORVO turns a single sample into evolving clouds, elastic rhythms, tape movement and granular textures through a tactile performance interface.

Questions
Before you ask.
Is ORVO finished?
No. It is a preview build: free to download and test, and it may change before a formal release.
Is it a plugin?
The preview is a Windows x64 standalone app. A VST3 version is being tested and is not part of this download yet.
Can I use my own samples?
Yes, that is the point of it. Bring in a sample, set the region you want to play, and choose an engine.
How do I get the result into my project?
ORVO renders the transformed sound to audio, which you then bring back into your DAW.
Is there a Mac version?
Not yet. The preview runs on 64-bit Windows.
