Grainulator¶
A granular synthesis instrument and effect for macOS, Windows, and iPadOS.
Load any audio sample, slice it into thousands of tiny grains, and reshape those grains into pads, drones, textures, rhythms, and sound effects. Two independent layers, a polyphonic spectral synth per layer, multi-mode reverb, a resonant body model, and a flexible modulation matrix with 5 lanes and 45 destinations.
On first launch, Grainulator loads a factory preset called First Patch with a sample already attached — press Play and you're hearing granular synthesis on the second beat.
