100 StrideChains for Serum 2, Vital, Diva and Tendril, each one mapped for Stride: lanes set, ranges chosen, the core knobs locked and five states to start from. Plus 250+ experimental sounds and 15 Ableton racks. Load a chain, press play and reroll it until it sounds like yours.
Needs Stride and the synth for each pack. Synths not included. Racks need Ableton Live.
Every state opens into everything Stride does: reroll a lane, mutate it, redraw it, lock what you love. Endless sound design variations from every patch, and a playground for studying sound that you never reach the bottom of.
Not a preset with a few knobs on a lane. Each chain was built as one piece: the patch, the lanes that move it, the range of every lane, the knobs that stay locked and five states that each take the sound somewhere new. Hundreds of decisions per chain, made so the only thing left for you is to explore.
Every lane moves one knob between limits picked for that sound, so a reroll lands inside the patch instead of off a cliff.
The knobs that make each chain itself stay put while you reroll, mutate and redraw everything around them.
Five per chain. Same patch, five directions: their own lanes, shapes and lengths, from a few beats to sixteen bars.
The Vital chains run on wavetables built from scratch for this pack. Not one factory table among them.
Formant vowels for talking basses and choirs, FM index ladders, sync and phase-bend sweeps, growl cells, glass partials, data noise and drawbars, each one shaped for the chains that play it.

5 statesDrift Gather Cloud Burst High Altitude Thunderhead
9 lanes / 1 locked / Long chords

A low thump into a delay held at 100 % whose time collapses: the echoes speed up from half a second to a few milliseconds and everything in the loop rises with them, from sub to a screaming buzz, then the loop is clipped, filtered and thrown into a room.
5 statesCollapse Power Down Bouncing Ball Event Horizon Singularity
10 lanes / 2 locked / One short note, then let the effects carry it

5 statesDrone Tidal Time Smear Sinking Drone Fracture
12 lanes / 1 locked / One short chord, then let the effects carry it
Vital / Feedback
A burst of noise into echoes and a flanger at 100 % feedback: the flanger rings forever at its Center note, so the pitch lane plays melodies on the ring, negative feedback drops it to a hollow octave, depth and rate turn it into jets.
5 statesAbyss Jet Engine Hollow Octave Ring Melody Abyss Storm
12 lanes / 1 locked / One short note, then let the effects carry it
Vital / Feedback
A pure sine echoing at 97 % into a wavefolder: as each repeat gets quieter the fold opens and closes on its own, and the fold, type and post filter lanes carve harmonics out of a signal that started with none.

5 statesShimmer Tilting Cathedral Organ Prism Pulse Detuned Heaven
10 lanes / 1 locked / Long chords
Vital / Feedback
A click of noise into a delay a few milliseconds long at 100 % feedback becomes a plucked string: the delay time is the pitch, so the pitch lane plays it like a fretless, Sustain flips to a hollow octave below, and the fold turns it electric.

Unzip into Documents\Stride\chains (Mac: ~/Documents/Stride/chains).
Then make it yours: redraw a lane, reroll it, lock what you love.
Yes. Each pack plays the synth it was built on: Serum 2, Vital, Diva or Tendril. Synths are not included. Take only the packs for the synths you have, or the whole Collection.
Yes. StrideChains open in Stride, in every DAW, and Stride is what moves the racks.
Only for the racks. The sounds are samples for any DAW, and the StrideChains open in Stride wherever you run it.
Then its sounds and racks are already yours. Take the StrideChains packs on their own.
A full take on the chain: the patch, the lanes, their ranges and their shapes. Five in each chain, five different directions from the same sound, one click apart.
Built on Serum 2.0.23, Vital 1.6.4, Diva 1.4.5 and Tendril 3.1.0.
That is the point. Redraw any lane, move its range, unlock a knob, save your own states. The chain is yours to take apart.
Every chain is a place to start. Where it goes is yours.
