'Grainswarm' Sounds with Pappus

Lovely Granular sounds here from Michael Manning and his 'Grainswarming' Pappus - a Norns XL Pro Granular Sampler he has unashamedly live coded. It sounds fantastic, allowing for 8 layers to read off the same granular buffer for some detuned swarming sounds. Pappus is free to download, and all the details can be found here. With more below from his site... 

Record sounds into up to two 'Grainswarm' buffers. Each grainswarm can have up to 8 individually pitched voices which can have their phase modulated or triggered via euclidean pattern generation.

Process into Filterbank, Tap Delay and Colour.

Customise your signal flow.

Requirements
Grid 128 is recommended but not needed.
