About Plantastic

Plantastic is a collection of browser-based sound, synth, and UI experiments—each a standalone prototype focused on generative audio, ambient tools, MIDI control, and plant-inspired music synthesis. These tools are designed for rapid creative testing, music-making, and live demos, emphasizing clarity, playability, and transparent sound design. The open codebase encourages remixing and extension.

What You Can Do

• Launch and test individual audio prototypes
• Explore ambient tone and pattern generators
• Control sound with MIDI and automation
• Visualize live audio output with interactive, real-time waveforms
• Compare user interfaces, presets, and effects across different versions

Audio & Visual Effects Highlights

• Audio:
  • Delay & Echo: Adjustable by slider for time and intensity
  • Stereo Reverb: Deep, immersive sound with user control
  • Lowpass Filter & LFO: Animated timbre shaping, depth and rate adjustable
  • Master Volume, BPM, and Base Frequency: Full control over mix and tuning
  • Melodic Evolution: Notes/tones evolve using the Plant Pentatonic Scale or Camelot Wheel
  • Preset System: Instantly load unique effect settings, frequencies, and color mappings
  • Detuned Oscillators: 3+ detuned voices per tone create analog/chorus textures
  • Stereo Panning & Analog Envelope: Dynamic field and soft attack/release for organic sound
  • Optional Tape-Style Pitch Wobble & Tape Delay: Vintage character and movement
  • Oscillation Control: Adjust number of voices per tone
  • All audio tuned to plant harmonics/pentatonic scales for natural resonance
• Visuals:
  • Animated Waveform: Real-time, gradient-enhanced, and beat-synced
  • Glow, echo/ghost trails, and beat-pulse background effects
  • Frequency Markers and Sinewave Grid overlays (toggleable)
  • Particles ("Butterflies"): Ambient, floating, peak-triggered, with customizable density and floatiness
  • Preset-Driven Gradients: Distinct evolving color themes for each preset
  • Camelot Wheel Key Feedback: Live display of key and color per tone

Concept & Philosophy

• Rapid, intuitive creative testing for musicians and curious minds
• Emphasis on transparent sound design and playability
• Open code: remix, extend, and make it your own
