Sound Particles GrainDust Virtual Granular Synthesizer - Electronic Delivery

Product Description

Sound Particles GrainDust is a powerful granular synthesizer with 4 fully independent granular layers, giving you the freedom to create rich and evolving textures. Every grain can move, shift, and breathe, creating results that feel alive and truly three-dimensional. Comes loaded with an exclusive library of unique sounds, giving your music and sound design a signature character from the very first note. Import your own samples for each layer or explore +1200 samples crafted for unique expression. Create in stereo, surround, binaural, 7.1.4, Ambisonics, and beyond. Explore over 250 presets and sub-presets, crafted to enhance your musical expression. Animate your grains in space and time for constantly evolving sound.

4 GRANULAR LAYERS, COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZABLE

Import your own audio files to build unique sounds in each granular layer. Jump-start your inspiration with an exclusive library of over 1200 curated samples. Shape each layer in detail with control over grain rate, density, size, continuity, and detune. Choose exactly which region of your sample generates grains, globally or per ADSR stage, for precise sculpting. Get a massive 100 simultaneous grains per note (25 grains x 5 voices x 4 layers).

Add non-pitched grains in some layers, or choose which octaves to apply. Use Grain Envelopes to define the shape of each grain and how they are distributed in time. Personalize each layer with EGs and LFOs featuring +70 waveform modifiers. With Grain Playback Mode choose between Forward, Reverse, Forward + Reverse, Mirror, or a Smoothed variation of Mirror.

FULLY INTEGRATED 3D ENGINE

With a single click, set your sounds in motion — from smooth orbits to wild rotations. A note that starts at the back, attacks and sustains to the center, and releases to the ceiling, with azimuth and elevation controls. Not sure where to begin? Explore dedicated presets to space that instantly change position and movement. Deceive your brain with - should all grains start at the same spot or with a slight divergence? Multiple 3D visualizations let you see exactly how your sounds move in space. Use built-in HRTF datasets or load your own SOFA file to experience true spatial audio in headphones.

A MODERN APPROACH TO THE ARPEGGIATOR AND SEQUENCER

Make it easier — choose from 7 arpeggiator modes, add extra octaves, and create instant rhythmic magics. One of the most powerful sequencers out there: up to 128 polyphonic steps, spatial controls, and endless creative options. Pitch bar, mono or poly keyboard — pick the mode that fits your workflow.

SHAPE YOUR GRAINS TONE, GLOBALLY OR PER LAYER

Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, Peak, and Low/High Shelf — shape your sound any way you like. Apply filters globally or per granular layer, each with its own EG and LFO for precise control. Make filters react to both key position and velocity for expressive, dynamic performances.

Create small organic pitch variations or go crazy on effects. Choose from unique random pitch modes to create anything from eerie textures to bright tones. Four FX slots are packed with Delay, Reverb, EQ, Filter, Bit-Crusher, and more.
