Grainferno new granular synth OUT NOW

Hi, I certainly misunderstood the way to import my samples.
I must be missing something, but I can’t seem to import my own samples—whether by drag-and-drop, by clicking on the ā€œMy Samplesā€ slot, or using the search tool, which doesn’t open any folders.
When I try to drag and drop, I get a red and white no-entry icon and can’t drop the sample anywhere in the window.
Just to clarify, I don’t have a trial version—I have a paid, activated plugin—and I’ve updated the firmware and I’m on W11 and my samples are short wav files 16bits/44.1Khz.
Can anyone give me any ideas…
Thanks for your answer

I can help sort things out. What DAW are you in and what format is the file you’re trying to drag and drop? Can you send a screenshot of the red and white no-entry icon as well?

Sorry for the trouble, you should definitely be able to simply drag and drop.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply,
I’m on Cubase 14 Pro (W11), file format is wav 16bits/44.1Khz.
I tried several types, short, longer (no more than 5 seconds), 24bits, aiff, MP3… same result
I can’t make a screenshot of when the red and white icon appears because when I release the mouse to take the screenshot, the icon disappears.
But it looks exactly like the one in attached file except the blue part is white.

I noticed I can import samples with standalone version but not when Grainferno is used as a plugin in Cubase.
And I just tried with Live and it works !
That’s a pity because Cubase is my main DAW.

Have you been able to check if VST2 works? They’re disabled by default, but can be enabled in the plugin manager.

Hello! I just bought this, it’s great fun.

I have one small feature request. The ā€œgainā€ knob seems to be calibrated linearly in dB (10% = about 7 or 8 db). So if you drag velocity to modulate gain, you get an absolutely useless velocity curve, and have to fiddle around with the velocity mapping to get something usable:

I’d rather have the default curve on the velocity modulator be usable out of the bag. So can the ā€œgainā€ knob have some three-dots options for velocity curve calibration? E.g. rather than linear in dB, have it linear in amplitude (amplitude = gain/100) or quadratic in amplitude (amplitude = (gain/100)^2). The latter is the standard General MIDI velocity mapping.

Alternatively, the velocity modulation source could have options to calibrate to a log scale, but it seems more natural to me to have the options on the gain knob.

Thanks!

Just installed Grainferno. Got some questions and a crashreport to do:

-how do you install your own samples? Can’t seem to make it work

-clicking on the Panic button made the whole plugin go silent and there is no way to get it on again, on top of that Ableton Live crashed after it as well.

Is this a bug?

This is being looked into for future versions of Grainferno, yes!

We just pushed a 1.1 update including what should be a workaround for this! From within the internal sample browser you can click on the new folder icon to load a sample via your computer’s file browser. Can you let me know if you’re still having the same issue when trying to load via this method?

This is great feedback, thank you! We just released a more performance based update, but I’ve added this to the list for the next one. It should be low impact to make some adjustment here but I will double check with mr. inferno himself!
