Slice into new ideas
Create equal or transient-based slices and arrange them in a piano roll with chance, velocity and per-step automation.
Shape the performance
Play up to six harmony voices, adjust formants, reverse playback and explore stutter, crush, delay and Constellation effects.
Save the whole instrument
Keep samples, patterns, effects, scenes and assignments together in portable .clay presets.
Requires macOS 14 or iOS 17 or later. Pitch flattening is designed for confident monophonic voiced material; it does not separate voices in chords.
