    For a granular fx plugin you can test Byome or SpecOps by Unfiltered Audio (Plugin Alliance), they both offer granular fxs in several shapes in their fxs modules.

    Edited : also you have this one : https://glitchmachines.com/products/palindrome/. But I think you have to load your samples, it doesn't process the audio live like the others two do.

    Please @Thankful no link to warez. :bow:

    U-HE G, ''grains and pitch'' from the UHBIK collection:

    I often come back to this one. It doesn't take time, a few adjustments can radically transform a sound, and not just in metallic like ways, it depends, the knobs are very effective. There are 2 modes, ''granular'' and ''phase voc''. I often use this for simple pitch tunings and for awesome natural sounding textures. The voices in this track were treated with this effect in ''phase voc'' mode:

    You can use this on any instrument also, this effect is versatile and very useful, not only for extreme effects, it is capable of subtle beauty as well.

    I would also recommend using Native Instruments Absynth 5 as a FX, it has excellent granular filter, ''cloud'', with an extra filter, also an incredible ''frequency shifter'' and ''ring mod'', which can achieve effects very similar to granular. A must try! Being able to adjust your parameters in Hz, transpose, note or ratio can be an extra plus. There's more, we're just scratching the surface, I highly recommend testing these effects with Absynth 5 as a FX plugin:

    Also, try this :

    GranuLab is a real-time granular synthesizer.
    Originally (1998-2018) for Windows, now as VST 2 plugin for MacOS and Windows.

    What: Granulation means chopping the sound into small overlapping segments and playing back just like the original, or twisted, or another time.
    Howto: Load a soundfile and warp it -- time stretch, pitch shift, chorus or turn into static. Smooth transition to anything and back.
    Control: Random, LFO, Soundfile amp/noisiness, from MIDI input, or by internal params.
    Effects: Fold, overdrive, bitcrush (smoothed), dual filters (SVF), delay.

    Grain is the best, but Reason only. Hope PH will make it for everyone who use other hosts like Europa.
    Omnisphere has grain engine.
