About Stacks - Granular Looper

VST3 / AU Plugin ~ https://www.congburn.co.uk/stacks "Modeling and digital grunge combine to make a raunchy instrument that behaves like an experimental studio. Stacks is an environment that turns tweaking into song materials. This thing oozes personality." CDM Review ~ https://cdm.link/2024/07/cong-burn-stacks/ Video guide ~ https://youtu.be/dz-p3DN2BXM iOS demo ~ https://youtu.be/fXK0AQGyjNU Jamming (no talking) ~ https://youtu.be/0SHzOkmjn3g ---------------------------------- Standalone application & AUV3 plugin for unique synthesis, looping and layering. In STACKS' self-contained production and performance environment you can create distinctive synth parts from melodies to percussion, which you can loop and layer to build up new tracks. There are a lot of ways to manipulate the music you make with STACKS but it's designed to be intuitive, encouraging a steady flow from one idea to the next. As well as its detailed synthesis elements, STACKS has a comprehensive modulation section, a stack of four versatile loopers and granular synthesis options to evolve your recordings in unpredictable new ways. By continually creating new loops and bouncing them down, you can keep the exploration going for as long as you like — especially useful for improvised live performances. With built-in processing from delay and reverb to saturation, it's easy to work solely within STACKS and end up with a great sound. ---------------------------------- Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/ETKn7kBpzn Join our mailing list: https://congburn.eo.page/zs28q Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/congburn/ Follow on Bandcamp: https://congburn.bandcamp.com/ Follow on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/cong-burn/ Listen on NTS: https://www.nts.live/shows/perfume-advert

What’s new

Version 1.3 · Updated May 26, 2025

Introducing the Fold oscillator, new in Stacks v1.3 -> https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ6ECRKtL5o/ Fold uses two wave shaping algos derived from classic 'west-coast' synthesis techniques of the 1970s. In a typical subtractive synthesis setup we take a rich waveform (saw/square) and filter it, with Fold we take a simple waveform (here its a sine wave) and we add harmonics by folding / shaping the waveform. Paired with Stacks' Low Pass Gate (another west-coast staple) you can achieve Buchla Bongos , Subotnick Silver Apples & Ciani Concerts. tip- use the built in spring reverb! Stacks' original waveTABLE oscillator also gets a major upgrade adding 18 new wave banks, giving you smooth, interpolated access to 1,152 new waveforms containing robotic speech, glassy bell tones and 90s microwave pads. Hook up some LFOs and explore! Under the hood the core signal chain has been upgraded giving you way more headroom and there's significant performance improvements - memory usage is down by 60% letting you use more instances of Stacks simultaneously.
