Built like hardware.
Plays like a dream.

Everything you need to sculpt sound from a single sample — and nothing that gets in the way of the music.

Multi · 4 tracks

Four layers, each with its own soul

Every track has its own sample, grain engine, filter and two LFOs. Stack them, split the keyboard, hold a drone with your left hand — or route four MIDI channels from your DAW.

REC

Record straight from your Mac

Hit REC, make a sound — Granulla waits for the signal, trims the silence, fades and normalizes. Your voice becomes a pad in seconds.

Hands-on

Knobs, keys and LEDs

Eight encoders follow every page, sixteen keys play from mouse or computer keyboard. Double-tap a key to hold a note forever.

Inside the instrument

01 — GRAIN

A cloud you can steer

Position, scan, size, density, spray, shape, reverse and spread. Watch every grain fly across the waveform as you play.

384 GRAINSHERMITE10 MS – 1 S
02 — VOICE

Trim, tune, shape

Drag START and END right on the waveform, pitch ±24 semitones, detune each grain, set attack and release up to 10 seconds.

START / END±24 ST16 VOICES
03 — FILTER

Filters that sing

Low-pass, band-pass, high-pass and a tuned comb that turns wind and rain into chords. Drive, envelope and key tracking.

04 — SPACE

Endless space

Tempo-synced ping-pong delay, an 8-line reverb with tails up to 20 seconds and an octave shimmer that lifts everything into the light.

Two LFOs per track with six shapes — including sample & hold and slow organic drift — and 19 destinations.

A tiny granular engine running right on this page, fed with real samples from the Ambient pack. Turn the knobs, play the keys, hold a chord — then imagine four of these layered with filters, LFOs and a 20-second shimmer.

Hear it.
Rendered, not faked.

Every demo was played by the real Granulla engine using factory multis and presets — no extra effects, no mastering tricks.
