REplay PLAYer is a granular synthesis-based audio software program that allows you to manipulate and control sound in a new and innovative way.
REplay PLAYer is a unique audio computer program based on the innovative paradigms of granular synthesis. Unlike typical music software, it deconstructs a given sound file and re-composes it using real-time composition algorithms, an area of research that Karlheinz Essl has been investigating since the mid-1980s.
The vision behind this project is to create music "that is composed, as if from itself (auto-poetic), at the moment of its sounding." REplay PLAYer enables users to generate an infinite and ever-changing sonic stream from a single sound file for artistic, compositional, or recreational purposes.
As a computer-based instrument, REplay PLAYer can be used for live performances or as an interactive sound installation, making it a versatile tool for various musical applications. The software's requirements include an Apple Macintosh computer with MacOS X (min. 10.2.8 / 10.3.9 recommended / also runs with 10.4.x [Tiger]) and Quicktime 6.x or higher.
The latest release includes the ability to run as a Universal Binary on Intel and PPC processors, making it compatible with a broader range of devices and increasing its accessibility to users across different platforms. Overall, REplay PLAYer offers a unique and innovative approach to music composition, making it a valuable addition to any musician's toolkit.
