FRCTL Audio has released GRN 4.0.0, a major new version of its granular effect plugin. GRN takes the audio on a track and plays it back as a cloud of overlapping grains, with the pitch quantized to a scale, so a loop, a vocal or a field recording turns into a texture that keeps moving.

Every grain gets its own lowpass filter and drive stage, with coefficients locked at spawn, so resonance rings per grain rather than across the whole output.

GRN takes the audio on a track and plays it back as a cloud of overlapping grains, with the pitch quantized to a scale, so a loop, a vocal or a field recording turns into a texture that keeps moving. It installs next to GRN 3 rather than replacing it: existing projects keep opening GRN 3 untouched, and the serial, trial and user presets carry over.
A new GRAIN SHAPE editor draws the per-grain envelope as a curve: tilted one way it plucks, the other way it swells into a hard stop, and pushed up it flattens. The grain pool is now 64 grains, four times the previous version, and DENSITY reaches 200 grains per second.
The selection drawn on the waveform is exactly what the grains play. A third LFO and a third envelope, with a MIDI...
