01
Capture & Freeze
Grab a single frame of incoming sound and hold it. The spectrum becomes a tone, then a chord, then a pad. Modulate it and the frozen moment starts to move again.
Granular.Spectral.Playable.
Sound, taken apart.
Grainsmith pulls audio apart in two different ways and lets you wander through what falls out. Drop in any sample, then follow the instrument into clouds, drones, frozen spectra, and accidents you couldn’t have written down.

↳ Two layers, four voices, two spectral enginescurrent build
Four voices, endless weather.
Two spectral engines, one conversation.
02
Spectral Array
Capture up to eight frames and scan through them like a wavetable made of moments. Slow scans drift across timbres; fast scans turn into rhythm.
03
Cross-Modulation
Two engines, side by side, listening to each other through a dedicated XMod bus. Push the amount up and the spectra start to cross-pollinate.
Patches that breathe on their own.
The room around the sound.
01
Filter & Saturation
Per-voice multi-mode filter and a saturation stage that complements granular textures instead of fighting them.
02
Delay & Reverb
Tape-flavored delay and a Cloudseed-derived reverb tuned for ambient and exploratory work. Lush by default, dry on request.
03
Resonator
Four physical-modeling models: modal, sympathetic, string, FM voice. The same engine that becomes Particle Chimes, in June, as its own focused instrument.
$29.99 intro, then $49.99.

Grainsmith Field
The same granular engine, rebuilt as a single multitouch screen for iPad and iPhone. Catch a sound and take it apart. Captures come back to the bench as WAV.
