About Efx fragments
Instant granular goodnessAt its most basic level, 'granular synthesis' involves splitting a sound into parts called grains. By changing the grain size, the amount of space between them, their pitch, their playback behavior, and tons more, you can create anything from swirling and expressive pads to jittery rhythmic effects. Efx FRAGMENTS makes granular processing simple, turning any audio input into something brand-new.Buffer sectionThe audio captured here is used as the raw material for Efx FRAGMENTS' grains, giving you real-time, top-level control. Monitor playback and recording points, customize the buffer length, tweak feedback and wet/dry levels, and freeze the buffer in place for a static slice of sound.Grain Capture sectionHere you can explore how Efx FRAGMENTS captures grains from the Buffer, from Speed to the Transient & Snap-To-Grid quantization modes. This is where you'll create essential granular effects, like allowing the sound to respond to hits and swells, introducing ‘sprays’ at random, manually scanning what you’ve captured, and more.Grain Release sectionThis section gives you full control over every aspect of the newly-created grains’ behavior, from shape to play direction to density—and far beyond. The Grain Release module includes a dynamic visualizer, providing vivid visual feedback of the resulting sound.Pan & FX sectionNavigate the stereo space in new ways, from randomized grain panning to tempo-synced movement around a virtual 3D space. For the final end-of-chain touch, run Efx FRAGMENTS’ signal through two FX slots, featuring effects like Multi-Filter, Tape Echo, Stereo Flanger, and more.Advanced Controls sectionLike Arturia's other popular tools, Efx FRAGMENTS is equipped with a host of dynamic modulation and expression tools. Assign Macros to multiple parameters for real-time sweeping effects, make your grains respond to each beat with the Envelope Follower, and create custom functions and step-sequences.Streamlined viewWant to focus on your sound with fewer visual distractions?
