Fauve vs OpenDeck DJ

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.

OpenDeck DJ turns your iPhone or iPad into a single-deck DJ player modeled on a professional club media player: a large jog wheel with a spinning platter display, a tempo fader, transport controls, a zoomable waveform, hot cues, beat loops, and automatic BPM and beat-grid analysis. BRING YOUR OWN MUSIC Drop MP3, AAC/M4A, WAV, AIFF, FLAC or OGG files into the OpenDeck DJ folder in the Files app (On My iPhone / On My iPad → OpenDeck DJ), or from a Mac via Finder, and browse them from the deck's BROWSE screen. A demo track is included so you can try everything straight away. ON IPHONE AND IPAD On an iPad the whole deck is on one screen. On an iPhone it is two landscape pages: the player's screen, and the controls (jog wheel, tempo fader, transport, loops) with the beat meter and BPM in view. Flip between them with the page button or a two-finger swipe. PLAY ALONGSIDE THE CLUB STANDARD OpenDeck DJ speaks Pro DJ Link. On a local network it appears as another player next to CDJ/XDJ decks: it can follow the shared tempo and beat grid with SYNC, or take MASTER and lead. It also shares its music: other players list it in their LINK menu and can browse and load its tracks, with BPM, beat grid and waveforms. Link hardware is optional — the app is a complete standalone player on its own. FEATURES • Jog wheel with vinyl (scratch) and nudge modes and a live centre display • Tempo fader with ±6 / ±10 / ±16 / WIDE ranges and MASTER TEMPO key lock • CUE with AUTO CUE, hot cues A–D, memory points, beat loops from 1/2 to 16 and SLIP • Zoomable waveform with beat and bar markers, full-track overview and needle search • Automatic BPM and beat-grid analysis, with GRID ADJUST (snap, shift, reset) • QUANTIZE so cues and loops land on the beat • Pro DJ Link: SYNC, MASTER, beat and phase meter, LINK browsing of other players' media, and serving your own to them • TAG LIST, track INFO and a UTILITY menu (player number, tempo range, quantize, auto-cue level) • Runs entirely on-device: no account, no sign-in, no analytics OpenDeck DJ is an independent open-source project.
