Hold
One point of the sample, held for as long as the note.
Hold a long MIDI note and you get a continuous texture from wherever position is pointing. Automate position and the sound drifts through the sample.
Use it for pads, drones, slow movement.

Hold, step and keys read the same cells and the same knobs. Switch between them and nothing is lost.

The sequencer plays the cells, locked to the project tempo.
A step sequencer inside a granular instrument, which no other granular gives you. Hold one note, press play, and the pattern runs on its own, one cell after another.
Use it for getting a rhythm out of a sample that has none.
Every cell on its own key, from C3 up.
Play C3 and you hear cell 1, C#3 cell 2, and so on. The key chooses the cell, not the pitch; tune is the pitch control.
Use it for chopping a sample by hand, live.
What each one does.

In the studio, and in other people’s sessions. Click for the sound.
