Description

Grainferno is an advanced granular instrument built around a new way of synthesizing sound from existing audio. Its next-gen grain engine breaks your samples into microscopic fragments and rebuilds them into entirely new textures. From pristine tonal clouds to experimental digital noise, Grainferno turns your sample library into an endless source of playable inspiration.

Grainferno can generate grains at speeds fast enough to cross into the audio range. At these rates, grains stop behaving like texture and start acting like oscillators—turning any audio file into a playable synth voice. Even at audio rates, traces of the original sonic character remain, giving you unique synth building blocks with the spectral fingerprint of your source audio. Add modulation and grain-level shaping to build ready-to-use granular synth tones that stay in tune with your song like a traditional synth.

Grainferno comes alive in motion, with nearly every parameter available for modulation. Three envelopes, three LFOs, and three random generators give you deep control over evolving behavior, making Grainferno a powerful platform for dynamic sound design. A drag-and-drop workflow makes it fast and intuitive to connect any modulation source to any destination—including cross-modulation between modulators themselves. Stack as many assignments as you like to let Grainferno’s sound continuously unfold with new variations on the source material.

Grainferno can generate grains from two independent source files and morph between them in real time. With seven unique modes to morph between signals, you can create granular soundscapes that continuously shift between the character of each sample. Shape each grain at the point of generation with Grainferno’s per-grain effects to energize, destabilize and transform your results even further. Perfect for hybrid instruments, seasick drones and textures outside the realm of traditional synthesis.
