Arturia Efx FRAGMENTS Creative Granular Effect - Elec Del

Product Description

The Arturia Efx FRAGMENTS is a software effect that allows you to divide, transform, and rebuild any sound by unlocking the power of granular processing. Instantly elevate any project with glitchy stutters, grainy stereo ambience, experimental textures, and beyond.

EFFORTLESSLY TRANSFORM, INSTANTLY INSPIRE

From dramatic rhythmic stutter effects to cloudy reverb shimmers, and everything in between. Efx FRAGMENTS takes the complex concept of granular synthesis and makes it more flexible, more accessible, and more musical than ever.

• Glitch & stutter: Build tension and sprinkle variety into your beats, compositions, and soundscapes with dramatic stop-start stutters, pitch-shifted fluctuations, and reality-shattering glitches. Slice sounds rhythmically or go totally off-grid for true sonic chaos
• Rhythmic variations: Efx FRAGMENTS listens to the rhythm of your track and can respond in a number of creative ways. Make every grain of sound respond to your tempo for glitchy beats, fractured rhythmic textures, flowing percussive sequences, and more
• Textural enhancement: Whether you want to add sparkling character, or just make something ‘feel’ better in a mix, immediately excite and accentuate any instrument stem, loop, or vocal part with the ethereal sound of granular processing, complete with built-in mix-ready FX
• Beauty or chaos: Whether you want musical or experimental, beautiful or chaotic, Efx FRAGMENTS can make any sound exciting, evocative, and entirely yours. Effortlessly explore and manipulate granular processing with amazing sonic results guaranteed
• Redefining ambient: Go beyond conventional reverb and delay and immerse your mixes in material ambience. Create vast shimmering clouds of sound particles, delicate cave-echo trickles, or fast-flowing spatial movement with any sound source
• Forge new timbres: Turn the smallest transient, the crunchiest sample, or the most unassuming stem into a bowed string, a grainy drum hit, or a mix-enveloping pad. By tightly weaving grains together, Efx FRAGMENTS creates texture and density in the most unexpected ways

GRANULAR SYNTHESIS EXPLAINED

You can change the size of the grains, the amount of space between them, their pitch, their playback behavior - the list goes on.

The resulting sound is both highly recognizable and wholly unique to granular. Frozen timbres from smooth & transparent to sharp & brittle; rainfall delay that drenches any mix; dense clouds of reverberating sonic texture; cascading modulations that turn a short sound into an endless flow.

Once you’ve experienced Efx FRAGMENTS’ unique interpretation of granular processing, you’ll never look back.

PARTS OF A WHOLE

By individually tweaking different parts of the granular process, you can explore and experiment with your sound with absolute control and unprecedented detail; here’s how it works.

• Buffer: This is where incoming audio passes through to be used as the raw material for Efx FRAGMENTS’ grains, giving you real-time, top-level control over its behavior. See the moving playback and recording points, customize the buffer length, tweak the feedback and wet/dry levels, and freeze the buffer in place for a static slice of sound
• Grain Capture: Here you can explore the many tools that Efx FRAGMENTS uses to capture grains from the buffer, from the Speed controls to the Transient & Snap-To-Grid quantization modes. Make your grain capture respond to hits and swells, introduce ‘sprays’ at random, manually scan what you’ve captured, and more; granular essentials
• Grain Release: At the core of Efx FRAGMENTS’ interface is an array of parameters and responsive options that give 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 is topped off with a dynamic visualizer, providing vivid visual feedback of your sound
• Pan & FX: Navigate the stereo space of your mix in a plethora of curious and exciting 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 algorithms like Multi-Filter, Tape Echo, Stereo Flanger, and more
