SPC Granular X
Three granular engines. One graphite console.
“Texture design at instrument speed.”
SPC Granular X is a granular instrument built around a focused Sample A → Grain B → Color C architecture: Engine A plays and scans the source, Engine B granulates it — rate, size, contour, spray, random pitch and direction, warp modes, feedback and liquefy — and Engine C colours the result, with a Prism low/mid/high tilt and an FX strip on every engine. The Graphite Console lays it all out in tabbed pages: the Grain Lab with its sample/timing, grain/random and grain/space decks, a Mod Matrix with drag-and-drop routing (pick up an ENV, LFO or MACRO chip and drop it on any illuminated control), four envelopes, an LFO Lab, Spectral Routing and an FX Rack. Four macros — Motion, Color, Space and Chaos — pull whole scenes with one knob, and everything syncs from straight to triplet, dotted, free or key-tracked rates. A packaged factory library of 22 source WAVs gets you moving before you load your own samples, MIDI preview and mapping bring it onto hardware, and Performance Safe Mode keeps a live set unbreakable: the audio thread stays CPU-authoritative while the GPU editor presentation remains an explicit, recoverable option.
Available now — a one-time purchase, yours to keep.

Latest updates
Actively developed — recent fixes and improvements:
- Release — one-time activation with offline license, installer, and a full parameter-readout audit: every control now displays and round-trips its value correctly (official CLAP validator: 0 failures).
- Sampler-synth feel — sample playback speed and grain traversal speed are now shaped independently.
- Factory source library doubled to 22 packaged WAVs.
- Modal Settings console and explicit, recoverable GPU editor presentation.

Made to be played
Every knob morphs the sound.
SPC Granular X is built for real-time sound design. Turn a control and the whole signal reacts at once — spectral colour, granular texture and modulation respond live, right in your DAW. Nothing is baked in: every parameter is fully automatable and MIDI-mappable, so you can draw evolving movement, morph a vector-scope signal, and lock in a one-of-a-kind sound no preset could give you.
