Arturia intros Efx Fragments, an accessible granular plugin

 

 

Arturia introduces Efx Fragments, an accessible granular plugin that will reshape your sounds.

 

The new processor promises a creative, experimental platform for sonic explorers

 

Arturia Efx Fragments is a granular processing plugin that is designed to be accessible enough for all kinds of “intrepid sound explorers”. The Efx Fragments enables you to divide and deconstruct a sound, rearrange and transform the pieces, then reassemble them according to your own specifications.

 

The final result is an effect that can produce everything from shimmering reverbs to glitches, stutters and rhythmic textures, we’re told. There are three granular modes, along with creative pitch and texture functions, customisable modulation and built-in FX.

 

 

Arturia says that the Efx Fragments’ interface is designed to encourage experimentation and offer inspiration rather than complexity.

 

Perhaps, you might not know a great deal about granular synthesis, which involves breaking a sample down into ‘grains’ so that they can be processed, but do not let that stop you from checking out Arturia Efx Fragments.

 

The plugin is available now priced at $99 (offers are available for existing customers) and runs on PC and Mac in VST/AU/AAX formats. You can also download a demo.
