true experimental modular workstation

(ppooll is free and opensource) ppooll is lloopp by Klaus Filip, this software is my main tool for composing ambiance soundscapes or straight improv, it is easily one of the most versatile bits of software allowing you to route anything anywhere and to modulate any parameter within any act (module) with it being assembled in max msp it makes it easy to integrate your own patches into ppooll, would recommend you try ppooll (but be aware it has sometimes a hard looking interface and may take some time to get use too)

Preferred Settings + Usage:

flop and karma@ being sent to prdelay then multitap with abit of freeverb for good measure, then using modu_lator to experiment modulating different parameters.

Roles:

Music Producer

[https://cycling74.com/articles/an-interview-with-christian-fennesz] In an interview with Cycling '74 Christian talks about the role that PPooll plays in his music: "I've been using this for many years, and I've gotten really used to it – this is my main software for live playing. It gives me everything I need: a sampler, loopplayer modules, a few synths ,effects , audio in, audio unit/vst connections, MIDI controllers, etc. It's like a toolbox or a studio on your laptop. I also use it in the studio in combination with logic 9 and X. I actually still use a quite old version of ppooll. I also have ableton live(with Max 4 Live) installed on my computers but i barely ever use it. It's a great piece of software but I think I can improvise much better in a live gig context when using ppooll."
