Real-Time Granular Engine
Grains is a real-time granular effect for shimmering particle clouds, glitchy percussive grooves, and rhythmic soundscapes. Built for sound designers, producers, and experimentalists alike, Grains gives you surgical control over density, size, pitch, arpeggiation, cloud delay, and randomized motion with an intuitive visualizer and interface.
Note: If you own BEAM, you already own this effect!
Find your shape.
Build your own grain cloud with synchronized rate, size, envelope shapes, pitch, and arpeggiators.
Make it random.
Add varying amounts of random spray, width, reverse, or detune to your grain cloud.
Rinse and repeat.
Harness a built-in delay module that feeds back into the grain engine, creating a cascading granular cloud.
Build the ultimate sonic circuit.
