The grains part of the generator makes for a great metallic oscillator, but the # grains parameter cannot go above 100 to get the full range of pitch

Well, for starters, it seems to be a great sounding VA in addition to its granular tricks. I know you could always layer another plugin, but having things all in one UI often makes for new types of things that you might not do with separate plugins.antic604 wrote:How is it better than the 3x cheaper The Mangle?
Admittedly, the latter is not developed / supported any more, but I hear it works quite well as it is.
BTW, I just checked and it still seems for sale on http://sound-guru.com/software/mangle/

Why? You are asking the wrong questions.
No automation was used, it's all the internal modulation matrix doing its thing.

Surprised and extremely glad there is a demo, especially a non-expiring one. I tend to reward that.
30-days demos never give enough time for the plugin to grow on me.
Nicely played.

I have Padshop Pro also, but the AU is flaky in Logic, Steinberg don't really seem to be supporting it well & Steinberg support really suck, they have the most appalling customer service that I have ever experienced. Audio Damage, on the other hand, have always been excellent.Neon Breath wrote:And of course AD support is way much better and easier than Steinberg, so that's another plus for Quanta.martinjuenke wrote:As a proud owner of PADSHOP PRO I‘m asking you: shall I buy it?
If yes, why exactly?
Thanks!

Great twist on granular guys! This will make for some serious inspiration

Yeah, I sampled stuff from 3 different Tom waits tracks and mangled them in Quanta with some Vintageverb at the end:

Why did I do that? I don't know!
Having lots of fun with the demo!

Why would you need more than 100 grains playing simultaneously to get the full range of pitch? I don't see the connection.pilotredsun wrote:The grains part of the generator makes for a great metallic oscillator, but the # grains parameter cannot go above 100 to get the full range of pitch
Don't F**K with Mr. Zero.

The demo also crashes Studio One 4 on mac.Ah_Dziz wrote:The demo keeps crashing cubase over here. It sounds great though and the mpe support is lovely.
Sent an email to support.

Won’t get to try the demo for a while but can you play polyphonically with unison enabled? And can the grain positions be offset for the unison voices? This would allow for Halion or falcon style multi-granular.

Somehow that turned Tom Waits into Thom Yorke.Delta Sign wrote:Yeah, I sampled stuff from 3 different Tom waits tracks and mangled them in Quanta with some Vintageverb at the end:

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).Echoes in the Attic wrote:Won’t get to try the demo for a while but can you play polyphonically with unison enabled?
