# DERIVA — Product Information

## Short description

DERIVA is an experimental audio effect built around discovery instead of preset browsing. Use Fracture to generate a temporary state, shape it across four Engines, then offer the active Fragment to the Keeper. Some enter your personal Archive; others disappear.

## Medium description

DERIVA is an experimental audio effect for turning incoming audio into degraded textures, granular movement, spectral colour and spatial bloom. It has no factory presets. Instead, Fracture generates a temporary processing state across four Engines: Erosion, Scatter, Veil and Mirror. The result can be shaped, reordered and heard in context before it is offered to the Keeper. The user does not choose the outcome. The Keeper decides whether the Fragment is Preserved or Lost. Preserved states become Remnants in a personal Archive; Lost states disappear. This deliberate impermanence makes listening, commitment and discovery part of the instrument, while the Archive becomes a record of the sounds that held the user's attention.

## Workflow terminology

DERIVA has no factory presets. Fracture generates a temporary processing state across its four Engines. The user may shape that state, then Offer the active Fragment to the Keeper. The Keeper, not the user, determines whether it is Preserved or Lost. Preserved states become Remnants in the user's Archive. Lost states disappear.

This is not a Save/Delete, Keep/Discard or Favourite/Reject workflow. The uncertainty and impermanence are intentional parts of the instrument.

## Processing Engines

- Erosion: Saturation, damage and degradation.
- Scatter: Granular clouds and fragments.
- Veil: Filtering, resonance and spectral movement.
- Mirror: Shimmer, reverse bloom and spatial processing.

## Availability note

DERIVA is publicly purchasable during an August 2026 soft-launch and final preparation period. The coordinated press and marketing launch is planned for September 2026.
