INTERFACE
The interface
A grain cloud feeds a spectral smear layer in series, so the fog dissolves the actual grain sequence instead of layering a second effect on top. Musical, chord-locked pitch and a freeze that never quite repeats.
The grain cloud's own output feeds the spectral smear engine, so density, size, shape, and pitch all shape the fog it dissolves into.
Grains can draw from chord tones instead of a fixed shift, so the cloud sings a chord around the source — built with vocal harmonies in mind.
When the smear crosses differently-pitched material, magnitudes are resampled to match pitch before the crossfade — no clashing morphs.
Freezing the buffer lets the spectral layer crawl its oldest edge forever — an infinite, non-repeating sustain, not a frozen loop.
