Description: Granulate is a powerful sound granule processing engine for converting any audio file into a spectrum of pads, drones, textures and rhythmic sounds.
Choose from over 80 inspiring presets or import your own audio for endless possibilities.
XY Morph Pad – Use to move between four sound sources. Each sound is loaded into a separate slot in the engine with its own individual manipulation parameters. The XY pad can be controlled with the mouse, automated with MIDI CC, or modulated with an LFO to create ever-changing sounds.
LFOs, Step Sequencers, and Flexible Modulation Routing – Each engine slot has four configurable LFOs and two tempo-synced step sequencers. Each modulator can be assigned to virtually any interface parameter using Granulate’s flexible modulation routing overlay.
Grain, Post and Master FX – 17 built-in effects let you transform your sound even further. Grain effects handle each grain individually (randomly), post effects are applied to the output of each engine slot, and master effects affect the entire output of the instrument.
Beyond Granular Synthesis – The toolbox provided by Granulate goes far beyond traditional granular synthesis. Using the many available tempo sync and bead shaping options, the sound can be converted to drums, rhythm instruments and loops. Granulate’s range of manipulation capabilities will be a welcome addition to any composer or sound engineer’s arsenal.
