Organic, Experimental Control at Your Fingertips

At the core of Parting lies the Dissolve control, which shapes your sound with precision and creativity. When set below the midpoint, the audio signal is crushed through sample rate reduction, producing gritty lo-fi textures. Raising the control above the midpoint introduces stretched and reversed audio effects, crafting haunting, unstable soundscapes.

Modulation controls offer gentle tremolo or vibrato movements, while glitch delay can be governed by chance or your instrument’s envelope. Reverb smearing blends these elements into lush, ambient sound worlds. Clock-shifting randomness ensures every performance is fresh and musically engaging.

Creating Glitch, Space, and Controlled Chaos

Parting excels at glitch bursts that evolve into ambient washes and textures. Delay fragments shift across octaves and rhythm, dissolve into aliasing artefacts, or stretch into reverse textures that bring an organic unpredictability to your sound. Despite its deep capabilities, the interface remains intuitive and tactile, inviting hands-on exploration.

Performance Ready Connectivity

With stereo ins and outs and options for mono configurations, Parting offers versatile routing to integrate seamlessly into your rig. Full expression and MIDI control enable real-time tweaks, while MIDI clock sync ensures tight timing with external gear. Quickly switch presets via MIDI or footswitch for flexible live use.

Choose buffered trails to maintain signal integrity or true bypass for a pristine tone, plus analogue dry-through to preserve your original sound without coloured interference.
