What is Fractal Bits
Fractal Bits is a drum synth with over four billion unique sounds created by fractal algorithms.
Each set of 12 drums corresponds to a code of 8 characters (you can save/copy/paste it as plain text).
Features:
- search for new sounds with three buttons: next random set (>>>), edit code, previous set (<<<);
- three types of keyboards for live drumming: on-screen buttons, PC keyboard, MIDI input;
- several processing parameters + control via MIDI;
- real-time audio recording to WAV (32-bit);
- export to: WAV (one file or a set), SunVox (samples + effects in one file), text clipboard;
- the LCK button freezes individual drums - they will not change during the search for new sets;
- iOS: Audio Unit Extension (AUv3), Audiobus, Wi-Fi export/import.
Double clicking on a parameter opens a window for setting the exact value.
If you enable the Hold option, the notes will play endlessly, without reacting to key release (noteOff) events; turning the note on again works like turning it off; there are two ways to enable this option:
- using the Hold parameter in the "MIDI Mapping" window;
- by pressing the HOLD button, which appears in place of LCK while playing the musical keyboard: press HOLD, release the desired notes - then the released notes will continue to play.
There are four ways to save sound files from the app.
- Live recording by pressing the REC button - this will record live performance with sounds and effects applied.
- Click on the sample you want, then go to Menu -> Export/Import -> Export to WAV.
- Menu -> Export/Import -> Export to WAVs will save all samples in the current preset (code) at once.
- Menu -> Export/Import -> Export to SunVox will save samples and effects to a SunVox project file.
All four methods will create one or more files in the app's internal storage. See the following instructions to access this storage.
