tops

my goto granular… great filter and modulation matrix.. quick intuitive interface. easy to make and share your own presets.

Crashing all the time

contacted developer in OCt 2023 regarding fix but was told they will be looking into it. Still waiting, waste of money !! I would rate this minus 5 if i could - not worthy of a star

Potentially great, but still crashing

I’d use this app a lot more if it didn’t keep crashing on me (standalone), particularly annoying when trying to save a preset I’ve spent time creating. Also when modifying a bundled preset, it won’t allow me to save it to the user folder.

Lots of potential here, but the crashing is really off-putting.

FAQ

What is Quanta Granular Synth?

What are the key features of Quanta Granular Synth?

Key features include a multi-format sample loader, a powerful grain engine capable of up to 100 simultaneous grains per voice, a sidecar oscillator, dual multi-mode filters, four flexible envelope generators, two flexible LFOs, and a comprehensive modulation matrix. It also supports MPE for expressive control.

How much does Quanta Granular Synth cost?

The application is a paid app. Specific pricing details can be found on the app store listing. There are no in-app purchases or advertisements mentioned.

What are the system requirements for Quanta Granular Synth?

Quanta requires iOS 11 or later and is designed for iPads. While it will run on any iPad capable of iOS 11, it is a feature-heavy, desktop-quality synthesizer and performs best on newer models like 2017/2018 iPads or iPad Pros. Users with lower-end machines may experience CPU issues and can mitigate them by adjusting display settings.

Can Quanta Granular Synth be used with MPE controllers?
