A synth from any sound
Grainferno can generate grains at speeds fast enough to cross into the audio range. Even at these audio rates, traces of the original sonic character remain, giving you unique synth building blocks with the spectral fingerprint of your source audio. Add modulation and grain-level shaping to build ready-to-use granular synth tones that stay in tune with your song like a traditional synth.
Deep drag-and-drop modulation
Three envelopes, three LFOs, and three random generators give you deep control over evolving behavior, making Grainferno a powerful platform for dynamic sound design. A drag-and-drop workflow makes it fast and intuitive to connect any modulation source to any destination—including cross-modulation between modulators themselves.
Morph and shape each grain
With seven unique modes to morph between signals, you can create granular soundscapes that continuously shift between the character of each sample. Shape each grain at the point of generation with Grainferno’s per-grain effects to energize, destabilize and transform your results even further. Perfect for hybrid instruments, seasick drones and textures outside the realm of traditional synthesis.
Essential effects for sound design
From ambient delay and reverb to analog-inspired modulation and multimode saturation, each effect is built for creative sound design rather than static post-processing. With a reorder-able signal chain and nearly all parameters available for modulation, Grainferno’s effects become part of the instrument itself.
Packed with inspiration
With 325 presets you’ll find a stunning array of prebuilt synthesis ideas to kickstart inspiration in your tracks. In addition, Grainferno’s built-in sample library includes 378 eclectic audio files that serve as the perfect raw material to start experimenting with the granular engine. Finally, the six included template configurations in the plugin's bottom panel let you quickly explore the core applications of granular synthesis with any sample loaded.
