| Description: | Celestine is a real-time granular device for Ableton Live - a granular processor, a granular delay, and a generative texture engine all at once. Instead of loading samples, Celestine hosts a constantly rolling buffer that’s always listening, always replenishing itself, always reacting to what you play in the moment. It explodes incoming sound into swarms of micro-grains - pitched, reversed, widened, scattered, and animated with musical intelligence - making it equally inspiring for live performance, studio sound design, improvisation, and discovering happy accidents while you twist knobs. Celestine doesn’t store audio for later… it’s about the fleeting moment. The present. The now. The device was inspired by boutique guitar pedals - that feeling of immediate sonic gratification. While many granular devices feel clinical or static, Celestine feels organic and alive. It behaves like something with a personality, always hungry for new audio, always reshaping what you feed it. I kept asking myself: “What would Chase Bliss do?” - and I built toward that ethos of tactile discovery and musical unpredictability. Choose from eight unique granular modes that shape grains into wildly different behaviors: • Grain – classic granular textures • Mosaic – pitch-shifted harmonic clusters • Glide – bending, sliding grains • Reverie – dreamy reverse washes • Bloom – ghost-echo reflections • Tide – amplitude wave undulations • Constellate – rhythmic anchor patterns • Orbit – circular spatial movement Scrub through time or let Celestine follow the beat with bar-locked grain triggering. From shimmering pads to glitching rhythms, from delicate halos to chaotic scatter, Celestine was built to be expressive, musical, effortless, and completely click-free. Rounding out the device is a hearty FX section featuring: • wave-folding distortion for rich harmonics • a bitcrusher that ranges from subtle grit to digital devastation • a dreamy reverb • the Magic multi-FX panel - seven artisanal tone-shaping algorithms that transform sound with a single knob The device shines on melodic material - vocals, guitars, synths, pianos - but it can also turn percussion into sparkling glitches, rhythmic fragments, or shimmering ambience. Use it as an insert with dry/wet blending, or run it as a send to scatter fragments of your mix into space. Features: • 8 granular engines (pads, clusters, blooms, tides, sequences, orbits) • Bar-locked playback with grid-synced grain triggers • Seam-safe, click-free, interpolation-smart DSP • 30-voice grain pool with smoothing & normalization • Dirt (wavefold & bitcrush) + lush reverb + Magic multi-FX • Real-time, live-reactive granular buffer architecture Perfect for ambient, cinematic, experimental, IDM, post-rock, generative composition, and sound design. Celestine doesn’t just granulate - it elevates audio into something celestial. Celestine is a Max for Live device compatible with Ableton Live 11 Suite and up. |
