Feature Summary

From surgical time-stretching to total sample destruction, turn any sound into a playable, expressive synth:

• Granular Engine: Eight voices and sub-sample precision bridge the gap between classic textures and sharp "graintable" synthesis.
• Effects: Shape your sound with a character-driven signal chain, from saturating drive to resonant filtering and a utility reverb for glue or depth.
• Modulation: Drag-and-drop, flexible, audio-rate modulation matrix with unique sources like metadata and noise flavours.
• Presets: Easily capture, export, evolve and share your sonic creations with sample embedding and eight-way snapshots.
• Phonon provides a drag and drop workflow in a resizable interface, for ease of use as a standalone instrument or plugin-based production in the DAW of your choice.
