Inside GRN 4.0.0
A Complete Granular Workstation.
Audio in, texture out
Any Sound Becomes a Texture.
- •Drop GRN on a track. The sound comes out as grains that move, shimmer and drift.
- •Two filters, a feedback loop and ten effects sit around the grain engine.
- •Three LFOs, three envelopes and four macros move any knob.
- •140 presets to start from, sorted by the sound they make.
The main controls
Where the Sound Is Shaped.
- •SIZE, DENSITY, DRIFT and STEREO: how long each grain is, how many there are, how loose they are, how wide they sit.
- •PITCH shifts the grains up to two octaves. SCALE mode keeps it in key. HARMONY adds intervals.
- •RANDOM scatters pitch, size, level, shape, reverse and filter cutoff from grain to grain.

System Requirements
Questions
Can I use it live?
Yes. GRN processes audio in real-time with zero latency and low CPU usage — perfect for live performance setups.
Does it work with MIDI?
Yes. Turn on MIDI Pitch Mode and GRN becomes a playable instrument: every note you hold retunes the grains. It is off by default, so GRN works as a normal effect too. Every parameter can be automated from your DAW.
How do I install?
Download, drag GRN4 to your plugins folder, enter your key on first open. GRN 4 installs next to GRN 3, so old projects keep working.
Is there a trial?
Yes. Try the full GRN free for 14 days, no card, no account. After that it keeps working in any project you already made, it just won't let you change anything until you buy it.
Is there a free version?
Yes. GRN Lite has the same core engine with fewer features. Try it free.
Commercial use?
Yes. Use in any project. Keep 100% of your royalties.
CPU heavy?
No. GRN is built for real-time use and runs fine on older systems.
What's included with my purchase?
All future updates are included free. One-time purchase, lifetime updates, no subscriptions.
