Not sure what you looking for but, if you play one note with e.g. 5 voices in unison mode, they'll be an offset between voices (modulating grain position e.g. with an FLFO with RETRIG off).

Cool. But can you play chords with unison? Or is it mono only?

Its mono.

According to the manual it polyphonic?

Why did I do that? I don't know!
Having lots of fun with the demo!
Somehow that turned Tom Waits into Thom Yorke.

I always wondered what a collaboration between the two would sound like.

Yes it is.
Should have quoted the post I was replying to:

Oh too bad. Would have been nice to have unison with polyphony.

However, due to how granular synthesis works, you pretty much already have many voices going at once (up to 100 in this case). I think having a mono unison mode only is a reasonable restriction.

Nice simple GUI layout!

yeah but multi-granular is really cool because one note can play several positions in the waveform simultaneously using random offsets. As in falcon, Halion and padshop.

Tried demo, good for atmos pads, but what it seemed to me, there is dificult a bit to get exactly dry grains texture (during increased grains amount respectively), i mean, there is some metallic\reverbish overtone, or how to explain better, similar to some little feedback (though that perhaps even some benefit for pads purposes). It's with muted oscilator section ofcourse i mean, just sample. But i did just quick test (but from scratch, with my sample), i not exclude that just my subjective feeling. In any case good instrument.

Demo? Cool i can see how this weighs up to Granulator 2.

Seemed to work pretty well in Bitwig. I’m still a bit weirded out with its crashing in cubase. Might wait for an update or two.

So I hid the vst3 from cubase to force it to run the vst2 (also all developers should use unique ids for the different versions of their software so both can be available in any host; but that’s just my opinion) so far I’ve run through the demo timing like 10 times or so without issue. I actually did the same for all the other AD plugins I’ve gotton since he started with vst3 and they are all far more stable. I’m thinking it might be an issue with the new GUI stuff he’s done and then the dumb way that vst3 handles GUIs. My main question is, are there other folks out there with consistent stability issues with more recent AD releases? My mega workstation is still running W7 so that could be a problem. I really really want to nab up quanta as I love MPE and I love granular synths, but I’d be super bummed out if I end up with it not working half the time.

Also are there any other non reaktor MPE capable granular synths? I have modular and I guess that sort of counts, but I’d rather have an all in one MPE granular only plugin.
