Graindad No Sound

[Karhukub]

Hi there, I have a brand new install of Graindad (Mac) and even though it's fully registered, it's not outputting wet output. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Karhukub,

the first important hint is:
In contrast to other effects (which rather run as an "on/off based" effect) Graindad is grid based and therefore will need a MIDI-clock signal or in internal mode a MIDI note, to fire up the effects. Which means normally you just insert Graindad on the track with your audiomaterial on it and it should run with your DAW when you press the Play Button of your DAW. Or if MIDI mode is active in Graindad, if you press a MIDI note.

If you still have problems, does at least the Standalone version work for you?
Also, does it happen with really every preset?

Please also check if the serial is marked as valid in the About Screen of Graindad and if the presets are present in Graindad's preset browser and let me know.

Normally, when Graindad only outputs silence it's an invalid serial or missing preset problem but if it only happens with specific presets you also may make sure that Dry/Wet mix is set to fully wet here:

The Dry/Wet has three dynamic/VCA trigger modes:

Hope this helps.
