OhmForce Plugins Bundle.
- Granulizer plugin is a plugin that uses granular synthesis. The source material for a granulizer plugin is an audio wave sample that the user loads into the plugin. This audio sample is then chopped up into several grains and is then edited independently. To attain different tonal effects, the length and spacing of the grains are adjusted.
- Granular synthesis is a technique that involves dividing a sample into very short pieces, and then playing the pieces back superimposed and crossfaded with one another. These pieces, or 'grains,' are usually under 50 milliseconds long and sound like short clicks when heard individually.
Omnisphere is a very powerful granular synth as well, which is fantastic for adding texture variation to your patches. You can import audio files as a sound source for many Omnisphere tools, but it’s especially interesting with the granular synthesis. Fruity Granulizer is a generator plugin that utilizes granular synthesis technology. The source material for this Granulizer is a wave sample loaded by the user. Granulizer splits a wave sample into many small pieces (grains) that are looped/played-back according to the settings of the generator. Palindrome is a granular morph plotting sampler geared toward experimental sound design. The basic concept behind Palindrome is to fuse four granular samplers with a coordinate plotting grid and complex modulation sources in order to facilitate the creation of morphing sound effects and unusual instrument patches.
RAPID is a modern polyphonic hybrid synthesizer designed to bring together fast workflow and powerful synthesis techniques. The unique layer engine that powers RAPID lets you shape and customize all aspects of your sounds, resulting in dynamic and fat patches, ready for production, performance or simply inspiration.
RAPID comes with a great variety of production ready sounds. Each preset designed and handcrafted for playability and creativity in mind, passed through careful quality control. All macros are linked to allow an easy control of the most striking sound aspect.

Granulator VST / AudioUnit
Project maintained by mourednikHosted on GitHub Pages — Theme by mattgrahamArgotlunar is a tool for creating surreal transformations of audio streams. Specifically, it is a real-time delay-line granulator. It disintegrates an audio stream into short samples (grains). Each grain can have random settings of amplitude, panning, duration, delay, pitch, glissando, filter and envelope. The output of all grains is mixed together into a stream which can be fed back into the main input.
Time-related parameters can be synced to the host tempo, for rhythmic and pulsing textures. Pitch-related parameters can be quantized for harmonic and melodic effects. Feedback can create chaotic, densely layered, and distorted sounds.
Most of the parameters can be correlated. Examples:
- Filter cut-off correlated with pitch: Higher filter cut-off for grains with higher pitch, and vice versa.
- Grain duration correlated with panning: Grains with shorter duration panned to the center of the stereo field, and grains with longer duration panned wide in the stereo field.
Argotlunar is free software. Licensed under the GPL v2.

Notes
Granular Synth Vst
- I've received reports that it doesn't work in MacOS 10.11 and 10.12. Apple broke backwards compatibility. I need to update the code but presently don't have a Mac to develop with.
- Not compatible with Final Cut Pro X.
- Linux users should install
ttf-bitstream-vera
fonts. - Old versions of Renoise require the setting
Use static processing buffers
enabled in the plugin compatibility options.
