"Granite is my go to granular sampler. I've used it in the score for Tron Evolution, Mass Effect 3 plus several new upcoming projects. It's pure fun to use and gives instant results. The automation workflow is sheer genius."
Sascha's credits include Mass Effect 3, Tron Evolution, the Quake series, Space Marine and Protoype.

"I've tried most granular plugins and Granite is exactly what I've been looking for, I'm sure it's going to be in every score I do from now on."
Rod's credits include Rage, Madagascar 3 and Monday Night Football.

"[Granite] creates exciting experimental sounds, from raw and metallic to drones and textures..."
"In no time at all, samples are transformed to richly dynamic soundscapes and atmospheres that can immediately serve as backdrops for thrillers, science fiction or horror films, or find a home in ambient music."
"Compared to other Granular synthesizers... Granite convinces above all sonically."

"What really sets Granite apart from the competition... is its ability to automate movements of the rotary grain or effect controls, and even the loop position... This allows you to build up very complex, yet organic, sounds..."
"Granite's engine has obviously been tailored to encourage very musical results... It's amazing what you can extract from well-known WAV files."

Granite in Detail
Motion Recorders
The innovative Motion Recorders are key to Granites uniquely organic sound. Simply click and drag in the outer ring to record fluid and dynamic modulations.
Cycle Modulators
Further variations can be added with the Cycle Modulators, which cycle through a number of pre-defined (or random) LFO type shapes with each new grain.
This results in precise variations to each and every grain.
Realtime Loop Modulation
Loop Position and Length Modulation is also available, allowing even more twisted and evolving patches.
Total Control
Automate any parameter, including Sample Start and End.
Assign any parameter for MIDI control with the redesigned Assignment Manager, and store and recall controller setups with the Template feature.
Effortless Browsing
Manage your patches and samples with the integrated File Browser.
Navigate and customise Favourite Folders, and preview audio files with In-Place Audition.
Archive and Share
Save Presets With Samples for easy sharing and maximum peace of mind.
