Amazing Noises introduced Grain Scanner, a new M4L 10-voice polyphonic granular Synthesizer & re-synthesizer designed for experimental sound design

Grain Scanner is a new 10-voice polyphonic granular Synthesizer & re-synthesizer that allows the deep manipulation of samples. It chops samples into small slices, then re-arranges and plays them back in a multitude of ways.
This new Max device offers an advanced sound engine that can turn any sample into a black slate for otherworldly synth part. Grain Scanner’s granular engine can play up to 1000 microscopic slices of a sample simultaneously.
The results are sounds that live between the organic and the synthetic like experimental noises, glitchy effects, alien textures or massive clouds of ambiance.
