Baby Audio has released its “most advanced synthesizer to date”, Grainferno, which promises to create playable synth tones from any sampled sound.
As with other granular plugins, Grainferno works by breaking recorded audio down into very small sections, known as grains, and shaping its sound through the manner in which it plays these back. What sets Grainferno apart from other granular synths, according to its developer, is the ability to generate grains at speeds that cross into the audible range.
