Aqeel Aadam Sound Releases Outgrowth - Sample Instrument in Collaboration with BlankFor.ms

Aqeel Aadam Sound has announced the release of Outgrowth, a new sample-based instrument developed in collaboration with electronic musician BlankFor.ms (Tyler Gilmore). Following the release of the sequencing plugin Waymaker and effects such as Weeping Wall and Ridgewalk, this new instrument focuses on transforming individual samples into playable, responsive instruments through various synthesis and processing methods. Outgrowth is designed to facilitate both immediate playability and experimental sound design. The core of the engine allows users to manipulate a single sample source using five distinct processing modes, ranging from standard repitching to granular synthesis and wavetable generation. Key Features Outgrowth features five unique engines for processing samples: Stem: A basic one-shot style player that repitches the sample. Retain: A granular stretching engine that sustains the sample indefinitely. Reflect: A looping algorithm that loops the sample at a consistent rate across all pitches. Radiate: An additive resynthesizer that maps each harmonic of the sample to a sine wave oscillator. Delve: A wavetable synthesizer in which the sample becomes the basis for a completely unique wavetable. Outgrowth also features five standout audio effects for shaping your sounds further: Subvert: A unique shaper that flattens or inverts the sample's volume. Submerge: A singular effect for adding dimensional realism to sample repitching. Strike: A dynamic control for adding an acoustic-like response to sample playback and performance. Ripple: A one-knob tape emulation handcrafted by BlankFor.ms that can be subtle, deconstructive, and anywhere in between. Smear: A pre-ADSR reverb for congealing notes and blurring boundaries between pitch and texture. And further still, Outgrowth offers a robust modulation matrix for generative or performative control over all parameters. Control every single parameter within Outgrowth via LFOs, unique random sources, velocity, note pitch, aftertouch, MPE control, and more. Finally, Outgrowth offers a complete preset system, including more than 50 bespoke presets and over 100 samples by BlankFor.ms. Explore ethereal ambient pads, haunted lofi keys, shimmering tape-infused plucks, gnarled percussive textures, and more. Pricing & Availability Outgrowth is available for a discounted price of $50 (Reg. $65) until Monday, December 22nd. Outgrowth is currently available for macOS and Windows, with an iOS version actively in development and coming soon. Watch the video manual here or browse the text manual for further information.
