Descent Granulator
iOS Universel / Musique
Descent is a real-time granular effect that captures incoming audio, breaks it into tiny grains, and scatters them across time and pitch. The result: everything from subtle thickening and rhythmic delays to vast frozen soundscapes and shimmering pitch-shifted clouds.
GRANULAR ENGINE
Control up to 50 simultaneous grains with independent settings for duration, overlap, and envelope shape. Play grains forward, reverse, or randomly mixed for tape-style effects, reverse swells, and glitchy textures.
PITCH SHIFTING WITH QUANTIZATION
Transpose from -24 to +24 semitones. Lock pitch shifts to specific intervals—octaves, fifths, or any chromatic combination—for harmonically correct shimmer and transposition effects.
SIX-AXIS RANDOMIZATION
Independently randomize pitch, pan, position, amplitude, duration, and grain count. Dial in subtle organic movement or push into complete textural chaos.
DIFFUSION AND FEEDBACK
High-feedback mode with a diffusion control transforms delays into lush, reverb-like washes that never get harsh or run away from you.
TEMPO SYNC
Lock grain timing to your session's tempo or let textures evolve freely in untethered mode.
35 FACTORY PRESETS
Covering shimmers, delays, reverbs, pitch effects, and experimental sound design. Cross-platform XML presets are compatible across all Audio Damage plugin formats and operating systems.
SOUND DESIGN IDEAS
Add subtle depth with a few long grains and minimal randomization
Create rhythmic delays with short, quantized grains at high feedback
Build infinite sustain pads by freezing audio with high grain count and overlap
