Parrot

About

From subtle beat variation or harmonic accents to glitchy mayhem, Parrot adds something unique and interesting to anything that you feed it with. This effect will help ignite your next dance-floor hit or add that extra je ne sais quoi of flavour to your mix. Whatever you feed the Parrot, it won’t let you down!

Parrot creates rhythmic patterns by sampling small slices of incoming audio, and repeating it in a sequenced loop. With control over loop length, pitch, variation, dynamics and filtering, the result can easily take off in any direction you want. Each slice becomes part of a loop that keeps reshaping itself as you adjust parameters, making patterns that feel alive. The sequencer reacts strongly to small changes, so even minor tweaks can introduce new pulses, stutters or harmonic shifts. Parrot can hold on to a steady rhythm, but it’s just as comfortable dissolving into broken loops and glitchy textures that evolve over time.
