FABRIKAT is a Granular Synthesis and Sample Playback multi-FX. The project is an offshoot from my workshop series "FORM" commissioned by
BandOrg who has funded and provided input on FABRIKATs software development.
Effects include:
-Granular Time Stretching, Freezing, Delay, Shuffling and Masking
-Pitch Shifting Time Stretching, Compression and Tape Stop
-Beat Repeater
-Reverse Delay
-Glitching Sample Playback
Features Include:
-Feature rich mixer/wrapper
-Expression / CV input
-16 Algorithm (Spin FV-1)
-1590BB enclosure (Romferd, TÃ¥ken)
Early 2018

This one sounds like it's gonna be very cool! pitch shifted time stretching seems like a really fun idea

Not sure if I use the correct terminology, but I'm referring to time stretch/compression that alters the pitch as you slow down or speed up the sample playback (similar to Alexander Syntax Error). There will also be a granular time stretch program with an independent pitch control too

Ah that makes sense.

It's so good already (prototype user here AMA (not really doe))!

This is going to be amazing. Very, very excited to hear it.

I followed the updates from Bandorg during the workshops and it sounds fantastic. It's so cool that you did a workshop like that :-)

Actually no, please don't make this.
I am really satisfied with my board as it is.
Don't make me change it.
Tetris anxiety.

Ahhhhh, very nice job on the time stretching. Sounds pretty smooth (non-flangey) compared to others.
What is the max buffer size (record/loop length)?
And any chance of a wet-only fx loop?

Thanks! The Time Stretching will come in different flavors. The max buffer size is 1 second (standard FV-1 limit). There's no room for a fx-loop in my hardware solution. Deal breaker? Would have loved to add everything in a 1590F enclosure. Will have TONE, FEEDBACK, MIX and VOLUME.

Thanks! Certainly not a dealbreaker on the fx loop. I already run parallel loops but am always looking for ways to streamline things
And thanks for clarifying on the buffer size. I didn't realize the FV-1 had that limit built in. That's too bad. I'm sure I'll still be grabbing one of these. But until someone can do time-stretching on 10+ second samples I'll probably end up keeping a EHX 16SDD on the board.
