PETRICHOR

A stereo rain instrument and sound design tool for music and film. Drops on nine surfaces, wind, thunder, passing cars, and seven places to stand. Every drop you hear, you see.

The demo needs JavaScript switched on.

One Weather control sweeps drizzle to monsoon. Evolve lets the storm drift by itself for minutes from a seed, so a film bed never loops and renders the same way twice. Storm Passes brings a whole storm through over a length you set. Hold notes and the rain rings in their scale; Groove pulls drops onto your song's sixteenths.

Stand in the open, under an umbrella, on a porch, behind a window, in a car or a tent, or load a room of your own. Each place changes what's over you and how the world outside sounds through it.

Petrichor Ear listens to another track and ducks the storm under a voice. Petrichor Stems sends every layer to its own output for mixing.
