Klevgrand Parrot
Parrot by Klevgrand is a creative and intuitive audio sample editor and playback plugin designed for fast, musical manipulation of recorded sound. It allows you to record or import audio, slice it into playable regions, and map those slices chromatically across your keyboard—making it ideal for vocals, spoken word, instruments, sound effects, and experimental sound design.
Parrot is not a traditional sampler. Instead, it focuses on immediacy and expressiveness, letting you reshape audio in real time using pitch, formant, envelope, and modulation controls. Whether you’re creating vocal melodies, rhythmic chops, glitchy textures, or melodic sound effects, Parrot encourages playful exploration and fast results.
Creative Sampling Made Simple
With Parrot, recording and editing audio is quick and hands-on. You can capture audio directly into the plugin or load existing samples, define slices visually, and instantly play them across your MIDI keyboard. Real-time pitch and formant control allows dramatic transformations while keeping performances musical and responsive.
