Graindad: Unleash the Beast of Granular Synthesis
Real-Time Granular Powerhouse:
Graindad isn't your average effects plugin. It's a real-time playground for granular synthesis, allowing you to manipulate audio in up to 64 tiny snippets called "grains." With 12 intuitive controls, you have instant access to a vast sonic palette.
Dual Modulation Systems:
-
Classic Control: Sculpt your sound with familiar tools like step sequencers, LFOs, and envelopes.
-
Harvester: This innovative visual modulator lets you playfully control multiple parameters simultaneously, creating complex and evolving textures.
Embrace the Random:
Spice things up with Graindad's extensive randomization features. Apply random variations to almost any parameter, or trigger randomization events based on transients in your audio for unexpected results.
The Heart of Graindad:
The Grain Engine is where the magic happens. It captures your audio and plays it back in real-time using those tiny grains. With 12 powerful parameters, you can achieve a wide range of effects, from looping and stuttering to time stretching, pitch shifting, reversing, and harmonizing.
Recording with Flexibility:
Graindad seamlessly integrates with your workflow. Record audio in sync with your host DAW, trigger recordings with MIDI notes, or even let the incoming audio signal trigger recording automatically.
Beyond the Grain Engine:
Graindad's modulation engine goes beyond the classics. Alongside the familiar LFOs, envelopes, and step sequencers, you have the Harvester, dedicated randomizers, and MIDI control for an unparalleled level of sound sculpting. The Modmix control lets you smoothly blend between the Harvester and main page modulation for truly unique results.
Seasoned with Effects:
Graindad delivers a comprehensive suite of effects to add another dimension to your sonic creations. From classic filters, reverbs, and delays to flangers and choruses, you have everything you need to polish your sound.
The Harvester: A Playground of Possibility:
The Harvester allows you to modulate all 12 main controls simultaneously. The distance between the Harvester and each parameter object determines the modulation depth. These objects even have "moons" that can be automated or randomized for even more movement.
Endless Exploration:
Graindad is a sonic wonderland. The Harvester alone promises hours of experimentation and surprising results. Dive deeper into the manual to unlock its full potential and unleash a universe of sonic possibilities.
