Aphex Twin releases Samplebrain, a free and open-source “custom sample mashing app”
> Having previously worked on a synth with Novation and a microtuning plugin with Oddsound, Aphex Twin (aka Richard James) has now released a free “custom sample mashing app” known as Samplebrain. This open-source software works by chopping samples up into a ‘brain’ of small, interconnected sections called blocks, which are grouped into a network based on their similarity. This then processes a target sample, chopping it up into blocks in the same way, and attempts to match each block with one in its brain for real-time playing.
