ivy offers speed and pitch modulation, randomized loop-point triggering, built-in filtering and combination ring modulation/delay effects, and an automated panning system. plus, the loop point, grain size, playback speed/direction, and volume of each individual audio file can be altered via 9 external midi controllers, which means ivy is dead simple to use in a live performance. or if you prefer, export audio from ivy to disk for work in your favorite sequencer.
