Granular Synthesis Vst Plugin
The Hadron plugin is your ultimate granular synthesis tool. In fact it is such a complete implementation of granular synthesis we’ve renamed the technique to particle synthesis. The plugin is of course free and open source.
For your convenience, we’ve made a preset system allowing you to quickly get started making music with it. All presets have selected “expression controls” to allow creativity and flexibility, and you can morph between presets for ultimate creativity. The plugin comes with a basic set of presets, and you can buy additional preset packs to expand your sonic palette. This kind of presets is called “states” in Hadron.
- One of the most interesting plugins on the market, Portal by Output alters audio via granular synthesis. Portal will stretch and manipulate any sound while maintaining the original quality of the input. It comes loaded with over 250 presets and 7 built-in FX.
- Omnisphere is a very powerful granular synth as well, which is fantastic for adding texture variation to your patches. You can import audio files as a sound source for many Omnisphere tools, but it’s especially interesting with the granular synthesis.
Hadron can be used as a synthesizer or an audio effect. It can also seamlessly morph between different sound processing methods, so you can make the plugin gradually change from synthesizer to audio processing mode. This is all part of the state morphing system, accessible via the big 2D joystick control.
Best Granular Synthesis Vst
Granular synth/sampler plugin. The Mangle grew from years of experiments with granular synthesis. The goal was to 'play' with the stream of grains in a musical and expressive way. This led to some unique features: a large XY area with real-time grain display. Pitch and tempo locking. True stereo grains and multi-timbral layering.

You can also use live sampling as a sound source for manipulation with Hadron, as well as audio files and live audio input.
