GrainCube, a Free Reaktor Instrument for Granular Sound Manipulation

May 11, 2010 by Miguel Isaza

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.
