Granular synthesizer

Granite is a granular synthesizer particularly capable at generating evolving, organic textures, atmospheres and soundscapes. However, Granite offers an vast range of transformation possibilities, and is can generate a wide range of sounds including organic basses and highly processed loops.
Featuring a compact and intuitive interface, and an engaging workflow including innovative movement recorders and "cycle" modulators, Granite can operate as a free-running sound generator, or as a playable MIDI instrument. Most parameters can be controlled via MIDI CC and host automation.

I admit, I am a junkie when it comes to granular synthesis devices and continue to try and/or own them all.
I found Granite to be unusually fun, it's ease of set up and file loading make exploring all manner of textures quick and intuitive, leading to all manner of variations. The simplicity of the GUI layout in no way limits the available options for complex movement and modulation of parameters.
In my opinion, a really successful combination of intuitive, musical implementation and price ;-)
