Motion: Fractal: Granular Effects Plugin by Excite Audio Free Download

The two granular layers are the core of Fractal. Each can capture audio into a global buffer and generate grains from five playhead modes, including manual scan and offsets set in milliseconds or percent. Density, size, direction, width, shape and chaos controls shape the grains, while pitch and spread settings adjust their tuning and distribution.

A visual graph shows the audio buffer along with the number, position and pitch of the grains, which makes it easier to see what the engines are doing. The Space module adds a lush, atmospheric hall reverb with length and mix controls, useful for tying granular textures together.

The Gate section provides up to 32 steps with adjustable rate, mix, attack and release, allowing rhythmic dropouts and pulsing patterns. The Repeat section offers amount, trigger, rate and offset controls for stutter effects, along with a frequency range slider and volume and duck controls.

Effect slots in the routing section can be rearranged to change the signal chain. Input and output gain, a global dry/wet mix, a safety limiter and global bypass are provided for managing levels and comparing the processed sound with the original.
