01FLOW
Follow the current.
Move from still water to a lively creek. Flow brings more bubbles and splashes; Roughness puts rocks in their path, stirring deeper eddies and restless surface detail.

PROCEDURAL WATER / SYNTHUX TOUCH 2
Let the
water play.
A living creek made entirely from tiny tones. Shape its current, tap a tuned drop, or hold a chord and let the water pour through your fingers.

01 / THE INSTRUMENTA small stream.
A small stream.
A life of its own.
Bubbles, eddies, little waterfalls.
One connected world of sound,
always finding a different way through.
02DEPTH
Every bubble has a voice.
Small bubbles sing high; larger ones ring low. Scale changes the body of the stream, Aeration fills it with bubbles, and Decay lets each tiny tone linger.
03PLAY
Tap a drop. Hold a pour.
Tap for a tuned drop, hold for a stream of bubbles on that note. Play up to four notes together, or latch a chord and leave it shimmering while you shape the water.
04DISTURB
Throw a stone into it.
A deep plop, a spreading burst of bubbles, then ripples that settle into the creek. Pad P01 works in every mode, even still water. Hit harder for a bigger stone.
05WANDER
Let a note find its edges.
Choose one of seven scales. Pull Variety down to gather the bubbles onto your note, or open it up and let them wander through the scale around your chord.
06SPACE
Give the water somewhere to go.
Spread the creek in stereo, darken it with a resonant low-pass filter, or send it into ping-pong echoes. Delay changes glide like tape, from a small space to long reflections.
02 / THREE PLACES, ONE CREEK
Inspired by nature.
The movement of a real creek becomes a sound you can play.
Open water in the centre.
A rock wake to the left.
A little drop to the right.

STILL WATERTRICKLE → CREEKLIVELY STREAM
Leave a little room for quiet.
A few small bubbles, a little movement around the rock. The creek has space to breathe.
A SHARED STATE, NOT A LOOP
Each part of the creek has its own energy, turbulence and trapped air. They drift together without firing in lockstep. Hundreds of short, decaying tones become the impression of flowing water.
03 / UNDER YOUR HANDS
Find your current.
An instrument for shaping a place,
then finding the music inside it.
Three ways into the water.
Start with Quiet trickle, Rocky creek, Small cascade or Deeper run. Switch to Notes to play, or isolate the sound layers in Diagnostics and hear what each one brings.
Make room for your hands.
In Notes, turn Free flow down for still water between your gestures. Shape the pour with Attack and Release, or bring the creek back underneath your playing.
Play a rising tide.
Connect through Daisy Seed’s USB port for notes, velocity, sustain, pitch bend and parameter control. Mod wheel or channel aftertouch adds Surge: a rush of flow, roughness and air.
A new place in your hardware.
The manual covers installation, every control layer, scales and the complete MIDI map. The project also includes a browser emulator with a JavaScript twin of the creek engine.
