At its core is a grain engine that loads any audio sample (WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, Ogg) and pulls up to 100 simultaneous grains per voice out of it, with control over grain rate, pitch, direction, shape, length, panning, source position, and level. Two virtual analog oscillators and a noise source feed alongside the grain engine, all running through dual multi-mode filters that can be routed in serial or parallel. Modulation comes from four Flexible Envelope Generators (up to 99 steps each), two Flexible LFOs, sample and hold, and four assignable Macros. Quanta 2 supports MPE controllers, MTS-ESP microtuning, and ships with Designer Presets from Richard Devine, Chris Carter, Joseph Fraioli, Marcus Fisher, Red Means Recording, and Red Sky Lullaby. Available as VST3, AU, AAX, and CLAP for desktop, and AUv3 for iPhone and iPad.

It records incoming audio into a buffer and immediately plays it back as grains: up to fifty short, overlapping fragments at once, each one sized, pitched, panned, and placed on its own. The results can pass for a delay, a reverb, or a pitch shifter, and frequently all three at once, but the territory past those is the point. Subtle thickening, rhythmic stutters, pointillist scatter, frozen washes, and clouds of pitch-shifted sound that have no conventional name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is on one panel. Size sets the grain length in note values, locked to your host's transport, or in seconds once you punch Chaos and cut the grains loose from the grid. The envelope knob shapes every grain from a plucked, percussive attack to a reversed swell. Pitch shifts two octaves in either direction, and the Shifts panel quantizes every transposition to the intervals you allow, so a randomized cloud lands in the key of your song instead of somewhere nearby. Six randomizer sliders scatter size, count, level, pan, pitch, and position per grain. Feedback recirculates the input so the grains keep arriving after the source stops, and Diffusion smears the output until a delay becomes a reverb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame as the rest of our catalog: Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS.

randomization, and Amount around thirty gives a track thickness and air without reading as an effect at all. From there it escalates. Position and pan scatter turn a drum loop into a broken beat that still lands on the grid, because grain timing stays locked to the transport until you decide otherwise. A pad through fifty long grains with Dwell up and Diffusion on stops being a pad and starts being a place. Quantize the shifts to octaves and fifths for shimmer that flatters the song instead of fighting it. Reverse a vocal's grains for tape-flip swells without owning a tape machine. And since the engine runs whether or not you can hear it, riding Amount like a send level turns the whole plugin into a performance control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReal-time granular engine\u003c\/strong\u003e - Up to fifty simultaneous grains played live from the incoming audio.
