01Overview

Things – Texture is a granular reverb from AudioThing and the first plugin in the Things series, a set of smaller effects aimed at sound design and creative processing. It combines a granulator with a reverb, so you can process any input into atmospheric textures or add a drone character to a track. Granular pitch shifting and a mid/side mode extend what the plugin can do, and the window is resizable for finer control.

Granular Reverb for Ambient Textures and Drones

Texture pairs a granulator with a reverb. The developer describes it as an easy-to-use granular reverb with pitch shifting and a mid/side mode, and says it can turn any sound into an ambient soundscape or add a drone vibe to a track.

The plugin was inspired by the techniques used in the soundtrack and sound design of the indie game The Swapper, which AudioThing notes won an award. That origin points to its strengths: evolving, spacious beds rather than conventional room reverb.

Mid/Side Mode and Granular Pitch Shifting

Mid/Side operation lets you choose where the granular effect is applied. When the mode is engaged, the granular effect processes only the side part of the signal, while the mid is attenuated. This creates a stereo width effect. The reverb is always applied to both mid and side.

Granular pitch shifting adds another layer for building harmonic or detuned textures. A resizable window gives you room to adjust the interface to your workflow.
