Description
Overview
Stream by Delta Sound Labs is a high-performance granular sampler audio effects plug-in engineered for advanced sound design, intricate delay creation, and real-time live performance. Unlike traditional spectral or frequency granulators, Stream is designed with a clean sonic profile, allowing producers to layer and widen audio sources without sacrificing clarity or introducing unwanted artifacts.
Built for efficiency, Stream operates with low CPU overhead and ultra-low latency, making it a responsive tool for demanding studio environments and live stage use. Whether you are transforming a live audio feed or adding organic textures to a pre-recorded track, Stream provides a professional creative environment for sophisticated sonic manipulation.
Key Details
- Powerful Granular Engine: Supports up to 16 granular voices, enabling the creation of dense, rich textures and complex sonic layers.
- Flexible MIDI Modes: Includes Monophonic MIDI Mode for re-pitching all voices to a single pitch (ideal for pedal points) and Polyphonic MIDI Mode, allowing you to play the granulator like a standard virtual instrument.
- Advanced Capture & Overdub: Grab audio excerpts in real-time to manipulate, build harmonies, and layer disparate audio sources on the fly.
- Dynamic Playback Control: Features main playhead automation, time stretching, and scrubbing for precise movement through the audio buffer.
- Integrated Distortion Stage: A dedicated saturation section featuring morphing capabilities between hard clip and soft clip for tailored harmonic grit.
- Seamless Sample Handling: Supports drag-and-drop for .WAV, .AIFF, and MP3 files, utilizing optimized sample interpolation for smooth, high-quality playback.
- Precision Syncing: Includes Tempo Sync to align grain intervals with your DAW’s host tempo and a Noise Window Sync feature for refined texture control.
- True Stereo Input: Supports true stereo dry input to maintain the full width of your original source.
Use Cases
- Live Performance: Utilize the low-latency engine to granulate live inputs on stage without perceptible lag.
- Atmospheric Soundscapes: Combine polyphonic MIDI mode with the 16-voice capacity to transform simple samples into wide, cinematic pads.
- Rhythmic Texturing: Use Tempo Sync to create rhythmic, glitchy effects that stay perfectly in time with your project.
- Vocal Processing: Capture vocal snippets and use the overdub feature to generate instant harmonies and ethereal background textures.
