New Granular Synthesis Plugin

ILIO and audio software developer Delta Sound Labs have introduced Stream Pro, a new granular synthesis plugin. This is what they have to say about it...

Designed for composers, producers, and sound designers, Stream Pro transforms audio recordings into playable polyphonic instruments, evolving pads, and ambient textures. Independent time and pitch control, per-voice effects, and 3D spatial audio give musicians control over the tone, timing, and movement of their own recordings. Stream Pro is a separate instrument from the original Stream effect, turning your own audio into playable sounds.

Stream Pro: Granular Synthesis for Your Own Recordings

Granular synthesis breaks audio into small fragments called grains and recombines them into new sounds. Start with a recorded instrument, vocal phrase, or field recording, then develop a sustained layer for a film cue, an ambient soundscape, or a keyboard instrument with the character of the source.

Two Ways to Work with Audio

• Single Mode turns recordings into evolving pads, textures, and atmospheres. Independent time and pitch control lets users slow a recording without lowering its pitch, while real-time scrubbing helps isolate and explore particular moments in the sample.
• Multi Mode makes samples playable across the keyboard. Polyphonic grain engines, velocity sensitivity, and MIDI tracking let musicians perform melodies and chords with their own recordings, shaping the result through the notes they play.

 

Stream Pro includes:
- Independent time and pitch manipulation
- Real-time sample scrubbing
- Polyphonic MIDI control and MPE support
- Per-voice effects and distortion
- 3D spatialization with binaural headphone output
- VST3, Audio Units, and standalone formats

Shape Each Voice and Set It in Motion

Per-voice effects and distortion give individual notes their own tonal character. Stream Pro's spatializer uses Steam Audio's HRTF processing to position voices in three-dimensional space for headphone listening. In Multi Mode, each note can occupy its own position, combining polyphonic performance with movement across the soundstage.

Pricing and Availability:
Stream Pro is available as a download from ILIO for $99, in VST3, Audio Units, and standalone formats for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
