About Outgrowth - Sample Instrument
MPE compatible.
Includes 50+ presets and 100+ samples built by BlankFor.ms.
Outgrowth features five unique engines for processing samples:
- Stem: A basic one-shot style player that repitches the sample
- Retain: A granular stretching engine that sustains the sample indefinitely
- Reflect: A looping algorithm that loops the sample at a consistent rate across all pitches
- Radiate: An additive resynthesizer that maps each harmonic of the sample to a sine wave oscillator
- Delve: A wavetable synthesizer in which the sample becomes the basis for a completely unique wavetable
Outgrowth also features five standout audio effects for shaping your sounds further:
- Subvert: A unique shaper that flattens or inverts the sample’s volume
- Submerge: A singular effect for adding dimensional realism to sample repitching
- Strike: A dynamic control for adding an acoustic-like response to sample playback and performance
- Ripple: A one-knob tape emulation handcrafted by BlankFor.ms that can be subtle, deconstructive, and anywhere in between
- Smear: A pre-ADSR reverb for congealing notes and blurring boundaries between pitch and texture
And further still, Outgrowth offers a robust modulation matrix for generative or performative control over all parameters. Control every single parameter within Outgrowth via LFOs, unique random sources, velocity, note pitch, aftertouch, MPE control, and more.
Finally, Outgrowth offers a robust preset system, including more than 50 bespoke presets and over 100 samples by BlankFor.ms. Explore ethereal ambient pads, haunted lofi keys, shimmering tape-infused plucks, gnarled percussive textures, and more.

I want to love it. Fix this bug please!
When I press “X” next to LFO destination the app crashes. Please fix 🙏

Nice sample player!
Import any sample and control it in a lot of unique ways. The granular and wavetable conversation of the sample allows for some great options. I especially love the modulation matrix and the options that it has. With the round Robbin selection of multiple samples and the modulation source ‘random per note’, a lot of natural sounding life can “outgrow” from your samples. I would give 5 stars if… 1) if it had an easy way to record in samples from the microphone or audio input instead of pointing to file locations 2) if it didn’t crash when you (X) out of a modulation option. As an example, when I assigned a mod source like ‘jitter’ to pitch, adjust a range, etc, then decide you don’t want that mod option, X it out and the program crashes- obviously this is a bug to work out… So the matrix works, but you have to load the init patch and start from scratch if you want to remove the mod source, or alternatively- you could bring that mod amount to zero and just move on. 3) both ‘jitter’ and LFO affect the sound globally (mind you, I am not using MPE mode and don’t know if that makes a difference) so if you play a chord, all notes of the chord move together in variation (pitch control being most obvious). Especially for the ‘jitter’, it would be nice to have this per voice rather than a global function. If these things were fixed or more obvious, I would give it a 5 because it really does sound great, but use your own samples and experiment! It is well worth it and I do highly recommend this app despite my gripes above. I do love the reverb happening before the amplifier- it is a nice effect that I could previously only do with modular synths.
