GRFX Overview

The GRFX interface is segregated into three horizontal regions. The granulator engine lies in the middle. Parameters regarding the “macro” properties of the sound - such as number of grains, buffer size and trigger frequency - are placed on the left half, while the right contains parameters controlling the individual grains’ aspects, such as their shape and size.

Dead centre of the granulator is the Harmonic Triangle, an interactive pad for controlling the pitch shifting of the grains. This element allows for creative tonal (and microtonal) effects, chord generation and shimmer effects. See Harmonic Triangle.

Under the granulator is the Effect Rack. The two leftmost effect slots are Multi-effects; each can be swapped for any effect from a list of eight different effect engines. To their right are the sends: a Delay and a Reverb. Unlike the Multi-effects, these are fixed and can work in series or parallel. The final slot is the Mixer, with volume controls for the individual signal paths, along with an output volume control and Dry / Wet. See Effect Rack.

The top of the interface contains the Modulator Rack, displaying two of the four available LFOs at a time. These are used to modulate the plug-in’s various parameters and create autonomous movements and behaviors. See Modulator Rack.
