SOUNDS THAT COULDN'T EXIST UNTIL NOW.
This is what granular was always supposed to be. Rebuild any sound grain by grain into vibrant harmonies, rhythms, and textures that stay in time and locked to your key.
HEARING IS BELIEVING.
Run synths, vocals, drums, or anything else through Lucid and reimagine it into something you've never heard before.

EVERY GRAIN UNDER CONTROL.
Lucid's granular engine is built from the ground up for deeply-musical sounds that work with your track.
Scale-lock
ALWAYS IN KEY
Traditional granular effects ignore your key. Lucid detects each grain's pitch and retunes it in real time. Now you can transpose, modulate, and harmonize freely while staying in tune.
Timeline sync
MOVES WITH YOUR MUSIC
Sync to the grid, snap to transients, or scrub through loops in real time. Everything stays locked to your timeline and visible on the waveform display.
Grain effects
EVOLVES WITH EVERY GRAIN
Every grain gets its own effects that evolve in bold new ways. Adding vivid detail and movement that no single effect could produce.
TRACK-READY PRESETS.
Get bold new sounds right away. From seamless layers to total transformations, Lucid is ready to elevate any track.

THE MODERN GRANULAR TOOLKIT.
Animated Macros. Animate two macros from one XY pad for hands-on movement across your whole patch.
Grain Filter. A multi-mode filter on every grain, with modulation and drive for tone and texture no single filter could make.
Grain Imager. Spread grains across the stereo field with unique panning patterns, for a wide, controlled image.
Grain Delay. A multi-tap delay with scale-locked pitch shifting, for shimmering, always-in-key spaces.
Chord and Arp. Stack grains into rich chords, or step them through your scale into evolving arps.
Modulation. Assign macros, LFOs, and curve sequencers to any parameter by drag-and-drop or the mod matrix.
Effects Rack. Eight studio-grade effects in up to twelve slots, from mix-ready polish to creative sound design.
