Looptober 2026

This may have been my laziest Looptober so far - I decided to only use my guitars and the granulating synth setup I have on my laptop, and didn't do much actual development, though I did add the ability for a bunch of the granulator's parameters like trigger rate and grain size to be driven by loops at different speeds. I pre-recorded the last week because I was going to be in Melbourne for a conference, so when I got a really bad dose of influenza and couldn't go, I could still post tracks. I'm pretty happy with the results. The titles are based on grawlix, an emoji set I made a while ago.
