Cong Burn has introduced a self-contained production and performance environment that lets you create distinctive synth parts from melodies to percussion. Stacks can loop and layer these parts to build up new tracks.
There are a lot of ways to manipulate the music you make with STACKS but it’s designed to be intuitive, encouraging a steady flow from one idea to the next. As well as its detailed synthesis elements, STACKS has a comprehensive modulation section, a stack of four versatile loopers and granular synthesis options to evolve your recordings in unpredictable new ways.
By continually creating new loops and bouncing them down, you can keep the exploration going for as long as you like — especially useful for improvised live performances. With built-in processing from delay and reverb to saturation, it’s easy to work solely within STACKS and end up with a great sound.
