Supra: Hybrid Granular Synth Plugin by W. A. Production

Rated 4.7/5 on Plugin Boutique (16 ratings)

Supra is a monophonic hybrid granular synthesizer plugin by W. A. Production. It combines an analog-modeled triangle oscillator, FM modulation, granular capture and morphing filters in one-page interface.

01Overview

Supra is built around a six-stage signal chain that starts with an analog-modeled triangle oscillator and ends with a pitch-shifting feedback delay. Between those points, a high-frequency FM modulator, a granular engine and a morphing state-variable filter reshape the sound. Two macro hubs with depth sliders tied to each primary knob let a single control move several parameters at once. The developer designed it for sound design and fast patch programming, with factory presets as starting points.

Sound Design Architecture and Macro Control

The oscillator is a triangle core run through an asymmetric diode wave-shaping network, with a dual-sine generator adding organic pitch drift. A high-frequency sine modulator applies linear FM directly to the carrier, producing harmonically rich tones.

The granular engine records the dry carrier into a circular buffer and triggers pitch-shifted grains with crossfades. Those grains feed a state-variable filter that sweeps continuously through lowpass, bandpass and highpass curves, followed by a comb filter for metallic, string-like textures.

Two macro hubs drive parameter shifts through M1 and M2 depth sliders on each primary knob. Each macro can affect the filter, granular settings and feedback delay together. The dual LFOs can drive the macros or be mapped to manual morph controls.

Randomization and Performance

The dual randomizer system changes patch parameters in real time without clicks or pops, which suits live performance and experimentation. When note-triggered randomization is enabled, LFO randomization can also vary waveform shapes, speeds and depths.

Factory presets cover a wide range of styles, including sub-bass pitch drops, laser sirens and FM growls, and serve as starting points for programming from scratch.

Questions, answered

What formats and operating systems does Supra support?

Supra is available in VST2, AU and AAX formats. It runs on Windows 8 and later for VST and AAX, and on macOS 10.13 and later for VST, AU and AAX.

Is Supra a polyphonic synth?

No. The developer describes Supra as a monophonic synth, so it plays one note at a time.

Does Supra include presets?

Yes. It includes factory presets across many contrasting styles, which can be used as starting points or for quick inspiration.

Does Supra come with documentation?

Yes. It includes a full PDF manual and a tutorial video.
