Grainsmith is made by Andy Smith under the Plastic Factory label.

Open-source components

Grainsmith builds on several open-source projects:

• iPlug2 — the cross-format plug-in framework. VST3, AudioUnit, AAX, and standalone targets all share a single C++ codebase through iPlug2.
• Visage — the GPU-backed graphics and UI library used for the controls, panels, and visualizations in the editor.
• Mutable Instruments Rings — the Griesinger-style reverb behind the Cloudy algorithm is adapted from Émilie Gillet's Rings Eurorack DSP.
• Signalsmith Audio — the Misty reverb algorithm is built on the Signalsmith Basics DSP library.
• Oliverb — the Stormy reverb (extended Griesinger / Dattorro with modulation and shimmer) is adapted from the Oliverb project.

Documentation

This documentation is built with:

• MkDocs Material — the site generator, theme, and search.
• mkdocs-with-pdf and WeasyPrint — the PDF renderer that produces the Desktop Edition PDF.

Thanks

To the beta testers who caught real bugs and asked for features that turned out better than the ones on the original roadmap. The rhythmic mod sources, the compressor's parallel mix, and the multi-mode reverb all came out of user requests.
