Output, Inc. is thrilled to announce the release of PORTAL, a granular synthesis FX plugin that transforms audio in a forward-thinking and musical way. Turn your VSTs, drum samples or any live input such as vocals or guitars into infinite new possibilities.

In the past, the results of granular synthesis were often chaotic and abstract. PORTAL is a step
forward, re-synthesizing sounds to give you a result that’s more closely related to the original
input. “With PORTAL we aim to flip the script on granular synthesis,” said Output CEO, Gregg
Lehrman. “This powerful engine takes a method that has previously been out of reach and
impractical for many musicians, and makes it accessible and easy to integrate into the creative
process. Less random bloops and bleeps and more creative music making."

Can the GUI/UX be resized for high dpi/4K monitors?

It’s an effect (not an instrument)

As far as I can see, it looks like it’ll cost you $149 to demo it.

I think that’s because it was being bundled with hardware purchases, so people were offloading extras (unwanted freebies).

This is one of the first granular implementations that can get me excited. Yes, this seems very musical.
No demo though
