A powerful granular synthesizer built for exploration and control. Load a sample, spawn multiple playheads, and sculpt evolving textures with deep modulation, per-head filters, and a flexible effects chain.
Download on the App StoreCreate multiple independent granular playheads, each with its own set of parameters and modulatable filter.
Virtually every parameter can be modulated—including LFOs modulating other LFOs for complex, evolving motion.
Use the 3-finger 2D touch pad to control up to 6 assignable parameters simultaneously for expressive real-time manipulation.
Each playhead has its own modulatable filter, giving you granular control over the tonal character of every grain stream.
A flexible effects section with re-routable signal flow lets you sculpt your sound and create evolving granular landscapes.
Built-in scale support keeps your granular explorations musically coherent and playable.
