Turn Granulator III Into a Slicing Granular Sampler

Granulator has always been an amazing sampler. With version III, we now get a streamlined interface along with powerful new engines like the Cloud Engine.

In our Granulator III workshop, we explored how to create granular chord progressions from a single note and use automation techniques—just like in this video.

We can transform Granulator III into a slicing-style granular sampler by disabling key tracking for transposition and enabling it for position.
