| Description: | Exploring Some Features of Celium – Video Demo: https://youtu.be/UEblN6Jw5A8 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 Blend 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 |

upon further testing it seems like the problem is also present when using the standard live mapping feature. latest Live 12 Windows here

Hi aoxomoxoa23,
Thanks so much for your feedback! I’ll fix the issue and upload an updated version in the next couple of days.

Dear aoxomoxoa23,
Please head to your Gumroad library and download version 1.0.1. If you encounter the mapping issue again, feel free to email me at *dystopianwavesmanage@gmail.com*. I tested the new version with Ableton’s internal modulator, but since I don’t have an external controller right now, I couldn’t test external mapping.
Once again, thanks for your feedback.
Best,
Feri

I tried adding mapping for my controller via live.banks, but when controlling various parameters with the physical controller (APC40 MK2) the values jump from 0 to 1 in one big step rather than gradualling moving the decimals, like it does when doing it in the UI.
