Fauve : flawed reconstructor

Fauve is an audio processor that collects sonic fragments and replays them, not always faithfully. It forgets, distorts, and glitches into new meanings. 
Like the hallucination of a broken machine.
A fractured memory, yours to reshape.
"Fauve is a perfect cure for sound-alike effects. It really is distinct from other buffer/glitch and granular tools. And it strikes an ideal balance between predictability and weirdness, between polished controls you can learn and master and unexpected combinations that surprise you."
Peter Kirn – CDM
By continuously recording incoming audio, Fauve analyzes and breaks sound into small units we call collections. When playing them back, it sometimes fails, opening space for the user to edit and shape the material according to their own sonic vision.
Fauve can be a harsh distortion, a gentle shadow, a paroxysmal dance between reality and dream, and much more. It can slightly scramble your sound, completely strip it of its original meaning, or introduce subtle, almost imperceptible variations to make it richer, yet always organic.
Fauve disrupts, but never destroys.
REMEMBER / FORGET
Fauve listens and remembers — but it may forget to capture the present, getting stuck in the past. It blends memory and reality, shaping a soundscape as if it were truly what it just heard.
BEHOLD THE HALLUCINATION
Beyond the native errors of its faulty replicatory nature, Fauve opens space for your design: you can shape the playback of fragments using classic sampling/slicing parameters like Disorder, Repeat, Freeze, and playhead rate.
SHAPING THROUGH ABSENCE
Sculpts amplitude in two distinct ways through Absence: turn left to assign a random value to each fragment for more organic results, or turn right to introduce audio drops, adding uncertainty, or even reaching distortion wilderness on shorter fragments.
BEYOND BALANCE: ENTER THE MIRAGE
Let Fauve blur reality with its dream using the Mirage parameter. Shape the balance, focus it across the stereo field, and control amplitude for both source and processed sound.
LOCK PARAMETERS
Enable lock toggle to preserve key parameters values while browsing presets.
IN-GUI INFOS
Enable Infos toggle to get all parameters details always in sight; just hover on a parameter.
Fauve is a totem/series plugin, and like all totems, it follows its own logic. Timing in Fauve doesn’t rely on beats or note values — it’s driven by the material itself.
Every operation is triggered by zero crossings, making the outcome deeply dependent on the source. Same settings, radically different results.
