POSITION = selects in which buffer the audio is poured (when FREEZE is not active), or from which buffer the
audio is synthesised (when FREEZE is active).
Example:
Set POSITION to minimum value. FREEZE. You get a first texture. Set POSITION to maximum value. UNFREEZE.
Wait for something else to happen in the incoming audio. FREEZE again. By moving POSITION you interpolate
between the two textures which had been captured at the press of FREEZE. Depending on the quality settings
there are 2 to 7 buffers laid out on the course of the POSITION knob. So it's a bit like morphing between FFT
slices.
SIZE = change the coefficients of a polynomial that determines how frequencies are mapped between the
analysis and synthesis buffers. It's like a 1-knob GRM Warp. Over the course of the knob it'll do spectral shifting,
but also spectral reversal.
PITCH = pitch-shifting.
DENSITY determines how results from the analyzer are passed to the resynthesizer. Below 12 o'clock, there's
some increasing probability that a given FFT bin won't get updated, causing a kind of partial freeze. After 12
o'clock, adjacent analysis frames are increasingly merged together (like a low-pass filter in the amplitude each
frequency bin). At extreme settings, random phase modulation is applied to smooth things - giving you different
flavours of spectral muddling/reverb.
TEXTURE does two things: below 12 o'clock, it increasingly quantize the amplitudes of the spectral components,
like a very low-bitrate audio file (a long time ago I loved making super harsh noise textures by loading text files
as raw audio files in an audio editor... then encoding as mp3 or real audio with super low bitrate to make it sound
like some underwater brian eno). After 12 o'clock, it increasingly weakens the strongest partials and amplifies
the weakest ones. This has the effect of making the spectrum more noise-like.
