JazzMutant, Devine Sound, Rachmiel, Twisted Tools and ABSoundscapes announced the release of GrainCube, a new free instrument for Reaktor, specifically aimed towards sound designers looking for granular gestural sound manipulation.
GrainCube is a four part granular processing instrument with numerous randomizing functions and modulation capabilities that allow for indescribable sonic mischief. The heart of GrainCube is a 400mb sample map of exclusive sample material from Richard Devine & Josh Kay of DevineSound. GrainCube is a collaboration between DevineSound & Rick Scott (Rachmiel), with additional programming and GUI tweaks by Igor Shilov of Twisted Tools. An additional version is also available for the Jazzmutant Lemur, re-imagined by Antonio Blanca.

Thanks alot for the heads up.Cant wait to get home and try this out.
Love the blog! Especially the interviews.
how to use this software,i mean with the unzip file extension “.ens”?
an ‘.ens’ file is a Reaktor Ensemble. you need Reaktor to use it.
I love this ens. Have a lot of fun with it allready. I recorded my rainstick and feeded it GrainCube. Made 2 soundscapes with it and mixed those together with Fruity Convolver. Mastered it with Maximus. Here’s the result:
