Quanta is a powerful granular synthesizer plugin designed to inspire creativity through detailed sound manipulation. It features a ten-voice stereo granular engine capable of playing up to 100 grains per voice, each lasting up to one second. Users can easily drag and drop samples in various formats such as WAV, AIFF, Ogg, or FLAC to start crafting unique textures. Beyond granular synthesis, Quanta integrates a subtractive synthesis engine with two multi-mode filters and a virtual-analog oscillator, allowing sounds to be shaped with multiple synthesis methods either separately or simultaneously, even without loading a sample.
The plugin excels in modulation possibilities, offering four flexible envelope generators with looping capabilities, two advanced low-frequency oscillators, and a sample-and-hold module. Nearly every parameter can be modulated or controlled via MIDI, providing deep customization and expressive performance options. Quanta supports MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE), enabling users to take full advantage of modern expressive controllers for dynamic and nuanced sound shaping. Its user interface is fully resizable with high-DPI support, ensuring clarity and adaptability regardless of screen size or resolution.
Quanta’s sample loader accepts a wide range of audio formats and sample configurations, making it easy to integrate into any workflow. The dual filters can be configured in serial or parallel modes, offering various tonal colors with lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and notch options. Additional features include a noise generator with tonal control and a cross-platform preset system that allows seamless sharing and collaboration across different devices. With support for tuning tables and global tuning offsets, users can explore alternative intonations and temperaments, making Quanta suitable for diverse musical styles and experimental sound design.
