OVERVIEW
Mazetools Mutant enables loop-based music experience. The software features synths, drums, samplers, sequencers, filters, and effects, all of which can be played on a square surface. These instruments collectively form the Hypercube, a dynamic space that alters the music from various perspectives.

To illustrate, imagine a turntable playing a vinyl record at 33 or 45 RPM, resulting in a higher and faster sound. Conversely, the sound becomes slower and deeper from 45 to 33. Although the song remains the same, the altered conditions create a different experience. Mutant operates on a similar principle. By starting with a beat loop and turning the Hypercube, new perspectives emerge, leading to fresh ideas and outcomes in the musical process. Perfection is not necessary. Mutant is focused on experimentation, loop creation, and sound exploration. The session, moment, and audio recording are all important.

To capture the created loops, take a snapshot - an anchor point with all instruments that you can always return to. When you load your snapshot into the Cloud, you can position it in three dimensions with Mood, Energy & Structure. Choosing a different snapshot will alter it in a specific manner, resulting in numerous new perspectives. Although the Cloud is currently offline, it is technically designed to potentially become part of an online cloud for user data and content sharing. The storage system is compatible with machine learning. The project originated from the research project Mazetools Assist. For more information, visit Ectoplastic.com.

Collaboration: In Collab Mode, two Mutant users can create music together over a local network. All inputs are transmitted live, and each person plays instruments or effects.
