Minimal Audio is a Minnesota-based developer behind a growing catalogue of plugins that includes popular tools like Rift, a versatile distortion effect, and Current, a powerhouse virtual instrument we described as “one of the most powerful synths on the market” in our 2024 review.
The latest release from Minimal Audio is Lucid, a granular multi-effects plugin and sound design tool that the company says can “turn any sound into musical textures, harmonies, and rhythmic effects that stay in key, in time, and under control”, combining a flexible granular engine with scale locking, tempo sync, deep modulation and a host of additional effects.
