Grainulator

A granular synthesis instrument that makes the technique feel immediate and playable. Load any sound, break it into grains, and sculpt it into textures that evolve, breathe, and respond to your touch.

Core Features

Grain Cloud Visualization

The grain cloud isn't just a visual — it's your primary control surface. Each grain is a particle whose visual properties map directly to sonic properties: size represents duration, color maps to pitch, and scatter shows stereo spread. Touch the cloud to sculpt your sound.

128 Grains × 8 Voices

Up to 1,024 simultaneous grains, with an engine optimized to stay under 25% CPU on iPhone A15 and later. Pristine audio quality with musical defaults that sound great from the moment you load a sample.

Kinetic Controls

Every continuous control has momentum. Flick a knob and watch it glide. Spring-loaded parameters snap back when released. Gravity zones in the grain cloud pull sounds into orbits. The interface has physical weight and texture.

Modulation Matrix

Route any source to any destination. LFOs, envelopes, random, MIDI, and controller inputs can all modulate grain parameters in real time. Complex evolving textures from simple setups.

Built-in Effects

Reverb, delay, filter, and saturation designed to complement granular textures. These aren't afterthoughts — they're tuned for the kinds of sounds Grainulator produces.

Preset System

30+ factory presets from ambient pads to rhythmic textures to drone landscapes. Every preset is a starting point designed to be tweaked, mangled, and made your own.

Hardware Controller Support

Most software instruments treat MIDI as an afterthought. Grainulator treats your hardware as part of the instrument. Dedicated controller profiles with bidirectional LED feedback blur the line between software and hardware.
