Audio Tools for Musicians
Instruments,
not software.
Plastic Factory builds audio tools that prioritize creative expression over technical complexity — tools that feel like small, dedicated instruments rather than sterile computer software.
Our Approach
Built from a musician's perspective first.
Performability
Every parameter is designed to be played in real time. These aren't menus to configure — they're surfaces to explore. Momentum, physics, and haptic responsiveness make every interaction feel alive.
Visual Feedback
See the grains, understand the sound. Our grain cloud visualization isn't decoration — it's the primary control surface. Touch it, shape it, watch your sound respond.
Controller Integration
Deep support for monome grid, arc, Midi Fighter Twister, and more. Bidirectional LED feedback, spatial mapping, one-tap assignment. Your hardware becomes part of the instrument.
Flagship Instrument
Grainulator
A granular synthesis instrument designed to make the technique feel immediate and playable. Load any audio, sculpt it into evolving textures, and perform it with your hands — on screen or through hardware controllers.
Three layers of depth
Simple to start. Deep when you need it.
Play
The grain cloud and four macro knobs — Texture, Tone, Space, Movement. Load audio and start sculpting immediately. No manual required.
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.
Engineer
Full parameter access, advanced modulation matrix, MIDI learn, audio routing, and controller configuration. The complete instrument, fully open.
