GRN just got a new macro panel: four knobs and an XY pad, each able to drive as many parameters as you want. Drag a macro's connector dot onto any knob to link it, then sweep the whole patch with one gesture, or one automation lane. The XY pad drives Macros 1 and 2 together for two-handed moves.

The other big one: MIDI Pitch Mode. Send MIDI in and the grains retune to them, polyphonically, with a per-note envelope and velocity response. Feed it a pad or a frozen buffer and play it like an instrument. Off by default.

Also in 3.2.0:

- Stack modulation on one knob: an LFO, an envelope and a macro can all pull on the same control at once. HP/LP resonance is modulatable now too.
- Buffer Library: freeze a texture you love, save it under a name, reload it in any project.
- LFO PLAY mode locks a synced LFO to your DAW's timeline.
- macOS: a GRN MIDI entry in the AU list for Live and Logic.
Very good.
DId check update - seems works well. 👍

Some nuance tho, there is no able to recall frozen buffer at preset level yet, but there is feature to save buffer as sample inside "Lib" sub section, and then load from it like from textures bank.
But in the same time, frozen buffer properly saved/recalled at DAW project level (with no appeal to Lib), that, can say negate lack of saving at preset level.

Not so obvious, but interesting solution as well.

I was coming here to announce the new update, but it seems I was too slow :ud:

Anyways, also wanted to tell you guys that there is now a 2 week trial mode added in the latest update. So if anyone wants to test the full plugin, click on the trial link on the product page :tu:

Also wanted to really thank everyone for all the suggestions on what to add to the plugin, the feedback is always welcomed and many times you guys think of great features! Sometimes I just don't come up with the same ideas (the buffer saving to the preset is kind of obvious, but for some reason never crossed my mind for example).

If anyone has any ideas / suggestions / issues you can always email me!
