01Overview

Electric Grains | Cloudmax Expansion adds 40 presets to Cloudmax, a granular texture effect plugin. Karanyi Sounds says the presets are built to reshape any type of sound source rather than the source material that ships with Cloudmax. The pack is split into 10 keys, 10 leads and 20 pads and soundscapes. Use it to push a sound into distinct tones, from large dynamic leads to darker ambiences and crystallized textures.

03In depth

Sound Design and Character of the Presets

The presets cover three groups. The ten Keys and ten Leads give you melodic and performance-oriented starting points, while the twenty Pads and Soundscapes focus on atmospheric textures.

Karanyi Sounds describes the results as experimental effects that turn raw sounds into entirely different tones. Expect everything from colossal, dynamic leads to ominous ambiances and crystallized textures. Because the presets are designed to work on any source, they are a starting point for shaping your own material rather than a fixed sound library.

Who Electric Grains Is For

Electric Grains suits electronic music producers and sound designers working on film and video game audio. The developer positions it as a complement to the Factory Presets that come with Cloudmax, with a focus on redesigning sound sources.

The expansion is an add-on, not a standalone instrument. You need to own Cloudmax to use it, and Cloudmax is sold separately and is not included in this product.
