GRN 4.0.0 lands as GRN4, a separate plug-in that keeps older GRN 3 projects intact. FRCTL Audio lets both versions live side by side, while serial data, trials, and saved patches move across.
Grains stay inside the waveform area users mark, with crossfaded looping when needed. Tiny selections become pitched micro-loops. Capacity jumps to 64 grains, density hits 200 per second, and each grain gets separate low-pass filtering, drive, resonance behavior, envelope shaping, and cutoff jitter.
Random controls can vary pitch, size, volume, shape, reverse, and cutoff per grain. Three LFOs, three envelopes, MIDI-driven modulation, PRE and POST filters, and a 4-, 8-, or 16-step rhythm strip deepen movement. Buffers offer 1.5, 3, or 6 seconds, while frozen presets can retain captured audio.
GRN costs $34.99, with the upgrade free for current owners. GRN Lite remains free. Windows, macOS, and Linux get VST3, AU, and CLAP support, with offline license checks and no iLok or subscription.
