## What is this?
|
|
|
|
A custom sample smashing/re-aggregating app designed by Aphex Twin
|
|
|
|
Samplebrain chops samples up into a 'brain' of interconnected small
|
|
sections (blocks) connected into a network by similarity. It reads a
|
|
target sample, chops it up into blocks in the same way, and tries to
|
|
match each one with one of the blocks in it's brain to play in
|
|
realtime.
|
|
|
|
This (in theory) allows you to interpret one type of sound with
|
|
another. Over time we gradually added more and more controls until it
|
|
became slightly out of control and increasingly difficult to explain.
|
|
|
|
Quick start:
|
|
|
|
1. Load a bunch of samples into the brain
|
|
2. Click (re)generate brain
|
|
3. Load a loop sample into the target
|
|
4. Click (re)generate target
|
|
5. Press play
