Overview

Portal is a granular FX plugin built around a real-time granular engine that breaks audio into grains and reshapes them. It processes any audio source such as synths, drums, vocals, or live instruments into stuttered, pitch-shifted, and time-stretched textures.

It is aimed at producers and sound designers working in a DAW who want musical, tempo-aware granular effects. It runs as a plugin on Windows and macOS.

  • Real-time granular synthesis engine for grain-based audio manipulation
  • Circular XY pad for hands-on macro control of grain parameters
  • Time-manipulation engine with tempo-synced grain delay
  • Scale-based pitch modulation locked to musical keys
  • Multiple built-in effects plus a master compressor and filter
  • Available in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats
