Analyzes transients and spectral weight in any sample, splits it into 3 slice types (attacks, bodies, textures), then sequences them across a 16-step grid. No manual chopping. Drag in a file and start sequencing. Auto-slice audio into 3 categories (A/B/C) 16-step grid, 1/32 subdivisions, sustain ties, generative randomization Step FX matrix: Distortion, Filter, Delay, Reverse, Tape Stop, Auto-Pan 4 pattern memory slots via MIDI VST3 + AU + Standalone,
Hey Product Hunt! I developed WHORL because slicing audio on a standard DAW timeline always took too long when I just wanted to quickly create a rhythmic idea.
You add any sample, it automatically separates the audio into 3 categories based on its character and maps them to a 16-step sequencer. From there, you can drag the slice boundaries directly on the waveform, assign FX (drive, delay, tape stop) to each step, and trigger saved variations via MIDI.
It works as VST3, AU and Standalone on macOS (Apple Silicon / Intel) and Windows.
I'd be happy to answer your questions or hear your thoughts on the workflow.
