- Up to four grains playing audio simultaneously.
- Random and LFO modulation for Point, Speed, Density, Detune, Pan and Level.
- Push integration allows remote control and automation of all parameters.

Bandswitch
Multiband processor and polyrhythmic delay
Bandswitch is an audio effect that splits the incoming signal into three bands and processes them independently:
- You can modulate the amplitude (tremolo) or the panning position of each band. You can also modify the shape of the modulation and set the gain and an overdrive process independently. Moreover, you can also add a vibrato (pitch modulation) independent for each band.
- The modulation rate can be modulated in turn by an LFO (there are, of course, three LFOs), and there are also two dedicated LFOs that can modulate the cross frequencies between the bands.
- After the Modulation/Distortion/Pitchshifing stage, each band goes to a dedicated delay line with feedback for further processing. Also the delay time can be dynamically modulated.
