Best granular VST ?

[Shabdahbriah]

a new granular from Dawesome is on the way for a June release:

Ya had me at the dancing spectral/waveform graphics... will def be checking this out.

If you are using an ipad then it's worth checking out apeSoft.

Another good one, which might be flying under the radar a Bit..

I just bought it and on download for Windows, a serious-threat virus is detected: Trojan:Win32/Cloxer. I will try to contact them, but beware.

If you are a windows user and a false positive is detected by Windows Defender, please send let follow the instructions at the URL below to turn off the real-time protection and then install Stranular. Don't forget to turn it back on after installation.

Anymore details on this ? It is playable or is just purely a granular engine where you drop a sample and it reduces it to grains but you can't play it on keys ?

I'm waiting for Novum release to see if that will fix my granular itch depending on price

Its actually a realtime effect not an instrument. The Developer is well known and respected in the Max for Live - Community. https://szk-1992.gumroad.com

This was his first VST - Release.

So it's more like Arturia's fragments ? Anymore demo's of it in action ?

[El°HYM]

Not too much around until now; this one is new though.

What's CPU useage like on it ?

[charlesalbert]

Bought Stranular ad a little monkey was behind my shoulders after reading the thread.

I could say that is a little simple, cpu not hungry granular effect but for sure you can not get the results you get with Portal, fragments, silo, mentalV, Crusher X.

I found it very basic for the price tag.

Btw the best granular effects, imho, are created with Reaktor 6.

Check out one of the ensemble of cycle and Spots. They are so creative.

Don't forget the incredible GRM SpaceGrain.
Now time for some beer.

[WasteLand]

at the top.. Emissioncontrol2

(and look around the website, some articles a granular, of course, it is curtis road...)

(both by the way standalone programs, but that is fun!)

Maybe not the "best" but worth a try: Grain Strain
Sorry for the shameless self-promotion.

Is Grain Scanner is worth it if you already have Pigments? Is there something about the sound quality, workflow, or feature-set of Grain Scanner that adds something to the table?

I've read that some who have both prefer Grain Scanner over Pigments...not sure as to why.

Edit: It appears that Grain Scanner generates up to 1000 grains simultaneously, while Pigments generates up to 256...I imagine that gives Grain Scanner an advantage.

Anyone here with both have any insight to share?
