DATA FX

Transform Data Into Creative Processing

• Convolution: the data becomes an impulse response, from comb-like coloration to reverb-length tails
  
• Granulator: the data sets where each grain comes from and how it is pitched, sized, and spread
  
• Multi-Tap: the data draws the tap times and levels of a delay network, so the data writes the rhythm
  
• Resonator: a bank of tuned resonators, one per data point
  
• Spectral Filter: the data becomes a mask across a frequency band, deciding what is kept and what is cut
  
• Spectral Morph: the data becomes a spectral shape the sound glides toward over time
  
• Wavefold: the data is the waveshaping curve itself

• Each data effect runs in Serial or Parallel, with its own Level, Pan, and Mix
  
• Crossover sends the lows to the serial chain and the highs to the parallel one
  
• Four global effect slots with 17 types, including chorus, compression, delay, echo, filter, reverb, ring modulation, and saturation
  
• Tempo-synced delays bend in pitch like tape when the time changes, with a ping-pong Width control
  
• Freeze holds a granular texture or a spectrum while every other control stays playable
  
• Spectral Morph's Sidechain input for cross-synthesis: drums into a pad, speech into a chord
  
• Output with Dry and Wet, Balance, a global filter, Drive, Clip, Boost, and a limiter at -0.1 dB, on by default
  
• Most of Data FX runs at zero latency; what latency there is gets reported to your host and shown live

• Eight modulator slots, each an LFO, an envelope Follower, or a live Stream
  
• LFO shapes include any of the four data slots
  
• Accelerate and Decelerate lock two modulators into whole-number rhythmic ratios
  
• A Random trigger rolls an independent value for every routing that uses it
  
• A modulation matrix that reaches every continuous parameter
  
• Eight nameable macros, a dice that randomizes them, TIME to stretch every LFO and Follower, and MOTION to scale all modulation at once
  
• Send all eight modulators and Random out over OSC to Max, TouchDesigner, lighting, or another Data FX

• Choose a Type, a Source, and a Series: weather, environment, finance, health, and more
  
• Math: 47 generative algorithms in seven families, calculated instantly with no fetch, every control automatable
  
• Your own data: Spreadsheet, Image, Text, Numbers, Draw, Audio, and Video
  
• Stream modulators follow live Open Sound Control from a phone, a controller, or other software, including Data Tap for iPhone, available now on the App Store
  
• Presets in the .mfdata format open in Data Path and Data Synth too, carrying the data selection with them
• Eligible effect types can be tuned with 75 built-in scales, or by any .scl or .ascl file, with creative transposition either way
