Granulator III is a free sample-based synthesis instrument for Ableton Live 12 (Max For Live is required), designed by Ableton co-creator Robert Henke. Granulator works by importing or recording a sample and replaying small segments of it one at a time - comprised of grains, as they’re called.
Grains can vary in length from two milliseconds to two seconds, and mostly, using Granulator is about manipulating these grains in different ways to create new and evolving textures or rhythms. Granulator III has received a UI clean-up, and perhaps most importantly, a new integrated Capture feature for direct audio recording into the device.
