Once again users have guided the development of GRN.

I just released a significant update with new creative controls and quality-of-life improvements.

What's new in v1.9.7:
  • Playhead Position Control — select where in the buffer your grains spawn from
  • Buffer Size Options (Short / Medium / Long)
  • Filter Routing (PRE/POST toggles)
  • Gate Control — threshold-based grain triggering

Here's a quick video overview:

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!
Cheers,

Is this only an effect, or can it be played like a midi instrument?

It is only an effect plugin.

On the website there's GRN Lite that is free, same granular idea but less control. I'll have to make more videos using it :tu:

Wow - thanks

Thanks for the Playhead feature :)

I now only wish there was next to zero latency when in unsyncd mode so that Freeze kicks in exactly when its activated
