Granular synthesis for explorers.
Grainsmith is built for sound that doesn’t behave. A tool that pulls you off the map, hands you the unexpected, and rewards time spent wandering, not the shortest route to a predictable result.

↳ Grainsmith: granular synthesis, played by handpreview
Uncommon sounds.
01
Granular Synthesis
From fine grains to micro loops. Four voices, each with its own buffer and grain engine. Real-time control over size, density, jitter, spread, pitch, and time. Stretch a field recording into weather. Shred a vocal into rhythm.
02
Spectral Synthesis
Two spectral engines that listen to each other. A cross-modulation bus runs between them: capture a moment, freeze a spectrum, scan an array of frozen frames. Sound that lives in the frequency domain, not the sample.
03
Modulation
LFOs, envelopes, random sources, MIDI, and controllers, all routed to any parameter through a full modulation matrix. Simple patches that breathe on their own. Complex textures from a handful of moves.
04
Effects & Space
Filter, saturation, delay, and reverb tuned for granular and spectral textures, not generic post-processing. A polyphonic resonator with four physical-modeling models for the final coat of color.
Simple to start. Deep when you need it.
- 01
Play
The grain cloud and four macro knobs: Texture, Tone, Space, Movement. Load audio and start sculpting immediately. No manual required.
- 02
Shape
Expanded parameters, envelope editor, modulation routing, and built-in effects. For when you know what you want and need precise control to get there.
- 03
Engineer
Full parameter access, advanced modulation matrix, MIDI learn, audio routing, and controller configuration. The complete instrument, fully open.
Available now. More coming.
Particle Chimes
A modular physical-modeling resonator: strings, drums, voices, hybrid bodies. An adaptation of Mutable Instruments’ open-source Rings module for modern DAWs, with Plastic Factory’s hands-on layer on top. macOS & Windows at launch.
