Create Rich, Moving Cinematic Soundscapes & Textures
GRANULAT is a granular sound design tool for creating intense cinematic sound design and rich, moving textures. From dark brooding textures to light airy atmospheres, Granulat can create complex sonic soundscapes in a variety of styles.
It works by playing hundreds of small grains of audio and then shifting these in the sample range left or right.
You can freeze a sample at any position within the waveform or use any of the 9 tables to quickly add complex movement to the built-in sounds.
GRANULAT comes with 300 cinematic instruments, ranging from hybrid strings, brass swells to acoustic bell-like textures and vocal atmospheres.

Free at the time of purchase but worth it even if your paying for it lots of bits to fuel your sonic journey
Larry – :
It’s a good library with some definitely usable sounds! Of course using Kontakt is
always a great place to start!
Luis – :
Good instrument, slightly different from the usual offers by Rigid Audio. Granular sound made samples. Many NKI files, not one (or a few) with multiples snapshots. Very easy to add movement.
Simbarashe – :
Very user friendly, i highly recommend. most of their plugs are amazing and this one is good too. the cinematic soundscapes and textures are to die for
Laura – :
There are some really neat sounds here! It’s easy and intuitive to make adjustments to provide movement for the sound.

Wide range of useful sounds for several kinds of music from EDM to Cinematic.. Nice and easy GUI. A good tool to have in mind.
James – :
Sick textures for dramatic tension with a nice interface, and you can’t beat the price! Highly recommended to sound designers & any type of music producer!!!
Diego – :
Having lot of fun with it, very atmospheric and eerie, the assigned controls help customizing the sounds to the like.
Jason – :
Really atmospheric and unique library, with some amazing programming going on – the range of sounds you can get from a single patch just by slowly adjusting the mod wheel is very impressive. Highlights for me are the ‘Deep Space Strings’ in the Bowed category, which are both musical and otherworldly at the same time, and the ‘Modwheel Sweeps’ which are great for creating transition effects.
chan – :

It is an interesting instrument that produces a sound of mysterious atmosphere. Thanks for an extraordinary present.

Rigid Audio are famous for their deep discounts. But this was a nice surprise. Sounds superb. Differs a bit from their other products. It complements their acoustic sample libraries.
Toshifumi – :
It’s fun to be able to edit a wide range of sounds in isolation.
The samples in the collection are varied and especially useful for making Rhythm.
Kevin – :
This Is an amazing Kontakt library, with a huge selection of 300 cinematic instruments (Drones, pianos, noises, vocales, pads, textures and more) !!

Rigid Audio always delivers incredible Kontakt libraries, and Granulat is a rich collection of several instruments from bowed, plucked, or vocal-based samples. There is a lot of stuff to get you started or support your atmosphere on your music projects.
Veli-Pekka – :
Excellent buy! Easy to use, easy to understand but still good sounding product for excellent price tag!
Ka – :
Good Stuff, good product. give it a try you may like it. Rigid Audio Makes good products. Good quality.
Brandon – :
Very good sound design tool. I would even pay for this. I wish you could import your own sounds, but it’s free at the moment.
Alex – :
Awesome innovative instrument ! I like playing with it, and will probably use it to add some breath and life in my songs transitions
Glen – :
This is a nice granular library for Kontakt. There are plenty of options for very creative sound design.
Quetzal – :
Interesting and fully useful interface. Nice cinematic sounds, mostly with dark colour.
I wish that I could have this flexibility of sound control in my other Kontakt libraries, so I wouldn’t have to rewrite the patches 🙂
Darek – :
It is not bad. Of course there are a lot of similar instruments and samples available. I like this some kind of arpeggiator that enables to control the velocity changes throgh the time. I got it as a deal and I think it was worth to do it.
Nickolas – :
Good sounds and plenty of ways to make them unique! I just wish there was a Manual or quick guide available, and a way to keep CC assignments between all instruments, so I wouldn’t have to reassign all of them everytime I load a new patch.
GUN HWA – :
Very good for the price. Rich and profound sounds easy to use. Not the best one but good one to have it.
Panos – :
Very nice product, inspiring kits , easy to use interface and great audio quality . You can create excellent cinematic atmospheres and loops with this kontakt instrument Recommended
Kenneth – :
Loads of sounds that are perfect for ambient and underscores. Every thing from bowed, drones, noises, piano, pads, plucked, sweeps, textures and vocals. Something for just about everything
Stephane – :
Low price, many quality pads (though it’s a mixed bag), a good interface, YouTube video by Reuben, etc. : what more can be asked from that product, lol? Well, two things: a faster workflow when using it (better names for pads, for example), and a much-needed Kontakt 6 update to get the “import your own samples” feature.
David – :
Wow! What can I say about Granulat. It’s absolutely superb! – I’ve been using it to layer with my string libraries. It’s inspires you to create some amazing music. It’s a must have!
Logan – :
Rigid Audio makes some interesting stuff and I have purchased most of what they put out. Granulat is not their best, but it has its place in my arsenal of sounds. I find it to be a great addition for dark and more cinematic uses. Not the type of instruments I would use in the foreground but it definitely helps me add layers to my music.
Philip – :
Granular sound design is a fantastic product to help fill the gaps with lush textures and sound design that is unique but yet familiar. Great quality sounds at a great price. Value that can not be beat.
Bastian – :
Got this one for free. Highly useful, easy to use and great GUI. Overall a great tool for creating background textures.
John – :
Wow! I’ve been happy with RA’s products in the past and this is no exception. Great value for the discounted price; amazing cinematic instruments. Will definitely use this for underscoring.
Tobin – :
An instantly useful and powerful tool for my workflow. Very satisfied with my purchase. Would recommend to all.

Yoichi – :
It’s a very imaginative sound. I think that it is easy to use even for those who are new to granules.

Solid selection of usable sounds that help when creating cinematic and tense atmospheres. Great sounding textures that encompass a wide variety of sounds based on a granular style engine.
Hidekazu – :
I definitely love this synth. Very easy to use and everything sounds fine. And for the most, it’s not expensive at all.
