Tim Exile Scapeshift

Scapeshift is a generativegroovebox and sequencer
At its heart, Scapeshift is a machine designed for evolving, morphing and cross-pollinating rhythms, melodies and textures. The results can stand alone as finished tracks or be used to complement a production in your DAW or DAWless setup.

Unlike your DAW, which reads out static sequence data, everything Scapeshift generates is controlled by continuously adjustable parameters. It can do some cool things your DAW can't. You can morph continually between two completely different patterns, cross-breed multiple patterns or create themes to generate infinite variations on a style.

System Requirements

A Native Instruments Reaktor Licence is required to run Scapeshift without limitations. If you have Native Instruments' Komplete bundle you will have this already. You can run Scapeshift in the free Reaktor Player but it will time out after 30 minutes and you won't be able to save your work. Reaktor runs on Windows or MacOS.

Scapeshift takes ~35% of a single core of a M2 Max Macbook Pro and ~70% of one core of a 2016 Intel Macbook Pro. A buffer size of at least 512 samples is recommended as Scapeshift does a lot of realtime event processing. This can cause clicks at lower buffer sizes. It's recommended to run Scapeshift in Reaktor standalone.

It is possible to run it as a VST or AU plugin inside a DAW but there may be limitations on this with older machines.
