Padshop offers a distinctive approach to sound design through its combination of monophonic and polyphonic granular synthesis. It features two integrated sound engines: a granular oscillator and a spectral oscillator. These engines work together to transform samples at a microscopic level, enabling detailed manipulation of tiny sound fragments known as grains. This capability allows for the creation of rich, evolving textures and innovative synth tones that are difficult to achieve with traditional synthesis methods.

The synthesizer comes equipped with over 570 presets, providing a wide array of sounds to inspire creative exploration. Users can import their own samples to redesign and synthesize unique sonic landscapes, expanding the possibilities beyond the preset library. This synthesis technique encourages experimentation, making it ideal for producers seeking fresh sounds that stand out in any genre.

Padshop is compatible with major plugin formats including VST, AU, and AAX, ensuring seamless integration into various digital audio workstations. Its intuitive interface and powerful engines make it accessible for both beginners and experienced sound designers. By working with samples on a granular and spectral level, this synth transforms the way you approach sound creation and sample manipulation.
