Sapling 1.1

Audio file remixing

Free!

Sapling is a freeware standalone sound-mangling application for Mac OS X built with Max/MSP 5. It was designed with both live use and studio work in mind. Simply put, Sapling is a program for remixing up to four audio files, but can offer some very interesting and unexpected results by utilizing several realtime randomization features.

 Key features:
•control loop start time, size, and playback speed of four audio files
• drag and drop a folder of sound files for quick access to custom libraries of sounds
• randomizing of various parameters for unexpected results
• built-in stereo reverb and filtering effects
• record output to disk for further processing or conversion to other file formats
• store your favorite presets quickly and easily
• cpu monitor gives you realtime feedback concerning Sapling’s tax on your machine
• independent effects sends for each file and panning/balance control
• freeware (but donations welcome)
• On/off toggles for each individual file, with hotkeys
• Ability to save and load presets to and from disk
• Access to I/O settings (Note: this feature was added to fulfill user requests. It has had minimal testing by the beta team, but all reports were positive).

"Wow. That a program this complete could be used without reading the manual and be offered for free is a testament to the designer. Thanks so much."

"I've been trying Max/MSP standalones for years. This is one of the most stable, musical and simple I've found."

"Great - fantastic. Really shows off the potential to throw together lovely little apps in the new Max/MSP 5 - even though I've got Max/MSP, I'll probably end up using Sapling instead some of the time, it just so does what it says on the tin."
