SKnote has released v0.4.0 of Grainz, a fairly major update to the granular and physical modeling synth. The first sound bank showing the synths sound possibilities will be released next week.

Changes:

• Physical modeled oscillator now has three modes:
  1. Plucked.
  2. Bowed by oscillator2.
  3. Manually bowed.
• Oscillator2 now has two modes:
  1. Normal.
  2. Bow (amplitude envelope is bow velocity for oscillator1).
• Granular synthesis now works in two modes:
  1. Waveform (the grains span and stretch the waveform).
  2. Granular (the grains set the frequency, the waveform gives harmonic content). This new mode makes waveform use a lot more versatile (ever in-tune).
• The synth can load up to 100 waveforms.
• Grain width has been set to a better range.
• Physical modeled oscillator has been optimized.
• Bugfixes.
