Steinberg Padshop: Coming soon

Coming straight from the Steinberg sound lab, Padshop is a state-of-the-art granular synthesizer that provides out-of-this-world atmospheres and far-out effects - and a user interface that's a breeze to work with. Granular synthesis is one of the most fascinating fields of experimental sound design, but the conversions for programming sounds based on granular synthesis algorithms have always been too complex for everyday sound design or too shallow for serious in-depth sound manipulation. With Padshop, Steinberg offers a granular synthesizer that raises the standard in terms of handling, flexibility, musicality and sound. It features an advanced granular synthesis engine with two independent layers and individual oscillator, edit and FX sections, up to 8 grain streams per oscillator, over 400 presets, SoftGrain Wave ROM with hundreds of samples for custom presets, and more. The Padshop VST Granular Synthesizer will soon be available as a download product from the Steinberg Online Shop. [source]
