What do I get with //grains?
The //grains instrument and //grains FX. Explore four sample layers, Cloud and Chop modes, scale locking, tempo synchronization, Grain Drive and shimmering effects.
Will it work with my setup?
Available for Windows and macOS as a 64-bit VST3 instrument and effect. Use a DAW that supports VST3, and check the release’s system requirements for your operating-system version and processor before purchasing.
Is this a subscription?
No. The introductory offer is a one-time purchase. You do not need a monthly subscription for the outright license. Prices and applicable taxes are confirmed at checkout.
Can I use my own vocals and samples?
Yes. Load WAV, AIFF, FLAC, OGG or MP3 files. For clear, tuned vocal chops, start with a clean, isolated vocal and choose the correct root and scale. Complex chords and noisy recordings can be less predictable.
Do I need to know granular synthesis?
No. Start with one sample and a MIDI note. Our quick-start guide walks through loading a sound, choosing a mode, setting the musical scale and saving a patch.
How do I keep CPU use comfortable?
Begin with one layer and a modest Grains setting. Add layers gradually while watching your DAW’s CPU meter. Reduce overlapping grains and heavy effects if needed, or render a texture once you are happy with it.
