Transform any sound into a melodic instrument
Leveraging audio-rate grain generation, it’s possible to transform any sound or sample loaded into Grainferno into a playabale instrument, regardless of the original pitch! If you’ve ever wanted to transform your favourite sample into a playable instrument, Grainferno lets you lock the sound to your projects key and play it across your MIDI keyboard in real-time.
Key-mapped modes allow precise pitch control, and Octave Snap mode ensures the output follows your incoming MIDI notes exactly—making Grainferno ideal for basses, leads, pads, and harmonic textures. For the most stable tonal results, higher octave ranges are recommended.
Dual-sample morphing engine
Powered by a dual-sample engine, Grainferno goes beyond other granular synthesizers by allowing you to load two independent samples in the same patch simultaneously. Inside the dual-sample engine is the Morph control, letting you blend between the two samples with seven distinctive modes. By loading two unique samples into the engine and morphing between them, you have powerful hybrid possibilities such as seamlessly transitioning from organic to synthetic textures, crossfading between rhythmic loops to tonal samples and more! The result is a motion-rich sound design that feels alive and can constantly shift throughout your track.
Lock-on to your tempo
To keep your sound design musical and rhythmic, Grainferno includes a tempo-sync feature to lock the BPM to your project or DAW. Both the Grain Rate and Scan Motion controls can be synced to the hosts clock, meaning you can add rhythmic pulses to your resampling, turn static samples into sequences and produce gated-ambience and tempo-synced loops. Grainferno is the ultimate tool for modern electronic music production as well as cinematic sound design.
Enhance your creativity with onboard effects
To complement your exploration of granular synthesis, Grainferno comes loaded with a curated suite of built-in effects, specifically tuned to enhance your sound, all within the plugin itself. Included in Grainferno is the G-Filter that features multiple filter modes, resonance and cutoff controls, the G-Comp and the G-Blur effects, all of which combine to allow you to polish, expand, distort and spatially enhance your sound – no additional plugins necessary!
Animate your audio with modulation
At the heart of Grainferno is movement. Animating your samples and sounds to give them dynamic textures that can morph, breathe and transform over time allows you to make sure your compositions aren’t static and keep the listener focused. Built with drag-and-drop modulation throughout the synth, you can assign modulation to almost any source, allowing you to do everything from draw custom waveforms, layer multiple modulation source and destinations simultaneously, cross-modulate sources and more. Grainferno makes it easy to turn lifeless and static sounds into exciting, attention-grabbing soundscapes.
