A PresetGranularSynth makes no sense at all!

my two cents

YOU are very lucky! Those are pretty expensive! Some guys would be Lexus if they won the lottery, I'd buy those

And yes, the no file import is what granular is about, primarily.

If they add file import, for the price, even having to buy a dongle would be good!

Anyone know if it will be a 64-bit plugin?

I reckon that's a sure thing.

FWIW there is an interesting competitive upgrade at 295$ if you own another sampler

Looks interesting - I wonder who's the developer...

Gotta say, I love how cheap Padshop is (going to be)!

looking forward to this! Great pad machine. How will it differ from other granular synths?

Well it doesn't allow you to import your own samples!

LOL!

I'm going to suggest a little ad copy for Steinberg, no charge:

'How does our new granular synth differ from other granular synths out there? Glad you asked. First, you get a free version of our snazzy e-licenser software included with your purchase - you didn't want to install just one program, did you? Second, it's VST3 only! What? You use something called Ableton Live? Sorry, never heard of it. And third, there's no sample import! We heard your whimpers of confusion when attempting to select just the right sample from your hard drive to use in those other granular samplers, and we fixed the problem!'

Again, this one's on the house, Steinberg. Feel free to use it in any upcoming ads.

I have to admit that this was the funniest part of the post.

No sample import? =epic fail.

dreadnought raises some very valid points.

VST3 only is a dealbreaker for me, and I am not going to change my host just to be able to use this thing.

The other thing is: why would I want to add another VSTi to my workflow, just for a few nice sounding pads?

Sure some of the demo sounds are okay, but I am not hearing anything special that a dozen other VSTis I already have cannot do.

I would definately be interested if we will be able to import samples!
