The feel of a boutique granular micro-looper pedal, rebuilt native for the stage. Eight algorithms in three families, four variations each, zero added latency. Drop it on a return, hold a chord, and let the tide work.

Questions

Fair asks.

Why is it free?

Tidepool comes out of a live ambient looping rig whose paid product is the flow. performance suite. The texture engine wants to be everywhere; giving it away is the honest way to do that while it grows up.

How finished is it?

Version 0.1.0. The core engine family is audible and stable, the rest are landing build by build. Hover any control and the panel explains itself; the GUIDE chip opens a field guide in the window.

Will it mess with my session tempo or transport?

Never. It reads the host clock and writes nothing back. Same contract as everything else on this site: hands always win.

What do I get for my email?

New versions, first. That's the whole deal; unsubscribe whenever.
