Instrument blur - a hypersampling instrument for push and launchpad
Hello, plugin friends.
I'm a full-time producer, composer and musician based in NYC. For the last nine months, I've been working on something I think is pretty neato, and it's finally done.
It's called blur. blur turns your loops and samples into instruments - not just files you edit, but sounds you play.
It stretches a sample across a row of pads, so you can trigger, chop and remix any sound in real time. Chop vocals, slice breakbeats, rearrange basslines, glitch out pads - or perform entire tracks. It also features an audio input recorder, live performance quantization, and a ton of other extremely fun features. I think it's pretty addictive to mess around with.
If anyone is familiar with the script 'MLR' for the monome - it's the same core idea, but rebuilt from the ground up with the modern electronic musician and performer in mind with tons of new features. I was obsessed with the monome when I was a kid, but could never afford one. This plugin is the result of 20 years of dreaming and almost a year of research, design and extensive testing. I'm quite proud of it, and plan on adding even more stuff moving forward.
It's built for grid controllers, with first-class native support for Launchpad (Pro/X/Mini/Pro mk1) and Push 2/3. You can map any other grid controller to it too - or use Keyboard Mode with any standard MIDI keyboard.
It's $29 normally. You can use ITSFINALLYDONE as a discount code to get 50% off.
Check it out at blurplugin.com - there's a live interactive demo you can play with in your browser without downloading anything.
I hope you guys enjoy it.

With the discount, how could I say no? I own a Launchpad anyway. It would be really nice at some point if you would consider releasing a Linux version. 😄
