Sound Particles has announced the release of GrainDust, a powerful granular synthesizer with 4 fully independent granular layers, giving you the freedom to create rich and evolving textures.
Every grain can move, shift, and breathe, creating results that feel alive and truly three-dimensional. It comes loaded with an exclusive library of unique sounds you won’t find anywhere else, giving your music and sound design a signature character from the very first note.
Features:

- Grain Parameters – Shape each layer with control over rate, density, size, continuity, and detune.
- Sample Range Selection – Choose exactly which region of your sample plays, globally or per EG stage, for precise sculpting.
- Grain Envelope & Creation – Define how grains are formed with envelopes such as Hann, Rectangle, Triangle, Tukey, or Saw.
- Pitchless Grains – Introduce non-pitched grains per layer, with octave selection, to create shimmering, noise-like textures and depth.
- Built-In Movement – Animate your grains in time and space, with EGs or movement modifiers, so your sounds constantly evolve.
- MPE Support – Capture every nuance of your performance with expressive touch control.
- Arpeggiator & Sequencer – Go from simple pulses to complex evolving patterns with 7 arp modes or up to 128-step sequencing with spatial parameters and more.
