I like the stock granular modules in reaktor as much as anything else on the market.

A really great granulator, but it's an FX not a synth as asked by the op. Crazy plugin tho, I got it few days ago.

For my personal usage and inspiration it is Dust.

Both Falcon and Form are amazing. I use both of them quite a lot. Having said that: Form isn't pure granular synthesis; it uses resynthesis to get really interesting results (which you wouldn't get from granular synthesis). It's more comparable to the resynthesis mode in Avenger. And Falcon is way more than just a granular synthesis instrument; it's my favorite plugin ever, and the closest I've ever seen to a true all-in-one instrument, but if you ONLY want granular synthesis then it's probably overkill.

I like to buy granular synths, use them for an hour or two and then never touch them again.

A 6

You mean Absynth X.

That version of Absynth really kicks ass, but the next generation GUI is a bit cryptic, and it doesn't come with a manual.

Actually, both Polygon and Palindrome are granular samplers. Polygon 2 is the newest one and includes modulation envelopes similar to SugarByte's Factory. I'm looking for better as it can only generate 16 grains max.

Really depends of what your goal is. If you're after big, fluffy, smooth grain clouds, the Glitchmachines plugins are definitely not what you should look for and you should look for something else. All their granular samplers sound clickly, glitchy and stuttered since they cannot emit multiple grain streams, therefore no overlapping grains for true grain clouds. But again, that might be the sound you're looking for.

Hi Neon Breath, I think of you as our resident granular king

Have you checked out the granular engine in Roli’s Equator 2 yet?
I’d love to know your opinions on it.

Edit: it’s not very good at all...

Is it a granular synth?

Bear with me, I never booted it up, so I have no idea.

Nevermind, I guess this answers that:

Cool. Really need to check Absynth out.

Grain in Reason is da shiat.

Yep, definitely Grain.

I was just thinking about Grain in Reason 11!

Best granular VST ?
