Celium – A New Realm of Granular Sound

Celium is an advanced Max for Live granular instrument designed for deep sonic exploration, from lush cinematic textures to abstract experimental layers. It offers a highly flexible grain engine with precise control over every detail of your sound.

At its core is a dual-buffer engine with Live and Freeze modes, each supporting two audio sources. You can blend between sources using crossfading, inter-grain transitions (where a single grain starts from Source 1 and ends in Source 2), and per-source grain probability.

Create rich granular detail with up to 70 grains per second and grain durations up to 2 seconds. Shape each grain using per-grain effects, including:

• Four types of distortion (with probability control)
• Ring modulation
• Panning
• Randomized filtering

Pitch processing is equally detailed, with pitch shift and spread up to ±12 semitones, selectable spread direction, major/minor pitch quantization, and probabilistic pitch randomness. Further shape your grains with vibrato, bend, jitter, and stretch over grain life.

Trigger grains using simple, random, or Euclidean rhythmic systems. Choose from multiple playback directions including forward, reverse, and palindrome modes.

Key Features:

⚙️ Dual-Buffer Engine

• Live & Freeze modes
• Each mode supports 2 audio sources
• Morph between sources with source crossfade
• Per-grain source probability for randomized grain generating
• Inter-grain crossfade: A single grain can begin in Source 1 and end in Source 2

🎛️ Grain Control

• Up to 70 grains per second
• Grain duration up to 2 seconds
• Multiple playback directions: Forward, Reverse, Palindrome
• Grain envelope shaping with adjustable window curves
• Visual grain display for intuitive feedback

🌀 Per-Grain Effects:

• Distortion with 4 unique algorithms (with probability control)
• Ring modulation (with probability control)
• Stereo panning
• Per-grain filtering with randomization options

🎵 Pitch Modulation & Processing

• Pitch shift and spread up to ±12 semitones
• Selectable spread direction (up, down, both)
• Pitch quantization (major & natural/harmonic minor scales)
• Pitch randomness control with probability targeting
• Per-grain:
• Pitch vibrato,
• pitch bend,
• Pitch jitter,
• and stretch across each grain’s lifetime

🔁 Grain Triggering Systems

• Simple triggering
• Random triggering
• Euclidean rhythm-based triggering for structured repetition and patterns

🔍 Interface & Workflow

• Zoomable parameters for precise control
• Organized sections for triggering, pitch, pitch modulation, effects, and routing
• LFO and automation mapping for most parameters
  
  

With its visual grain display, zoomable parameters, and deep modulation tools, Celium gives you unprecedented control over granular synthesis.

Designed for both precision and chaos, it opens new frontiers in texture design, ambient atmospheres, futuristic scoring, and experimental soundscapes.
