Short of diving into Max, Pd, Reaktor, or SuperCollider yourself (which is a topic for another day as it is a whole heck of a lot of fun), Efx FRAGMENTS is already immediately the most capable and flexible granular processor you could imagine in standalone plug-in form.Īnd it all comes with a dazzling 3-D (ish) visualizer, which feels a bit like a Winamp effect crossed with that thing that happens when Dr. There just hasn’t been a granular effect I’ve ever seen with this amount of polish and functionality. ![]() And it’s crammed with a lot of multi-effects, control tools, modulation, and additional options.

And yes, indeed, if you are thirsty for more granular buffering-processing slicer-mangler ambient-texture-makers, this is that.Įfx FRAGMENTS immediately feels like an Arturia effect, though – a sound processing beast stablemate to their PIGMENTS semi-modular synth workstation. Those of you who have, yes, my first impression was “oh, this looks a bit like…”. Okay, for those of you who haven’t gotten so far into granular processing yet – skip ahead, I’ll be with you in a moment.
