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:
