Audio professionals in need of a powerful, yet easy to use granular processor should check out the Sugar Bytes Graindad, a real-time granular effects processor with professional quality results. Freeze, texturize, or reorganize, and slice your audio, triggered by transients, clocks, or MIDI notes.

A complex modulation system with intelligent randomizers provides astonishing results. Filters, reverbs, delays and the all-at-once manipulating Harvester complete the package. This software is available for use in Mac and Windows operating systems. It can operate standalone or with VST, AU, and AAX plug-in formats.

• With up to 64 grains Graindad offers extensive possibilities to define your sound in realtime. With 12 main parameters, quick and powerful access to granular synthesis is provided.
• There are basically 2 modulation systems: a classical system with modulators like step sequencer, LFO, and envelope, for familiar access. And a modulation system called Harvester, which provides an easy and playful way to control multiple parameters at once in a visual manner. These two modulation systems can then be mixed for uniquely complex results.
• Randomization is a big part of Graindad—varying amounts of randomization can be applied to nearly every parameter. Furthermore, there are dedicated functions to define when randomization should be generated, for example, a transient in your audio signal can trigger a randomizer.

• The heart of Graindad is the Grain Engine. While audio is being recorded, it can simultaneously be played back up to 64 times via so-called grains. Organizing and defining these grains is the core task of the engine.
• The 12 main parameters provide the power to achieve various effects like looping, stuttering, time stretching, pitch shifting, reversing, or harmonizing.
• As important as the playback is, recording also plays a huge role in defining the overall result. Graindad can record in sync to your host clock or be triggered directly via MIDI. It can even dynamically start recording depending on transients in your audio material.

• In addition to envelope, LFO and a classic step sequencer with step repeat, the Harvester, various randomizers and MIDI notes can be used as modulation sources.
• Even the intensity and source of modulation can be controlled by randomizers, and can do so in different modes.
• Not to forget the Modmix Control, which crossfades between the Harvester and Main Page modulation for surprising results.

• Whether it's classic effects like filters, reverbs, and delays, Graindad's effects section has everything you need in order to add a new dimension to your sound. Filter types include low-pass, band-pass, high-pass and notch. Choose between three reverb effects: HQ reverb, spring reverb and shimmer. The delay section offers not only different delay types, but also flanger and chorus modes.
• Dry/Wet controls make it easy to blend filter sweeps into the image or use the bandpass as a peaking EQ to emphasize certain frequencies.

• The Harvester modulates all 12 main controls at once. The distance between the Harvester and parameter objects defines the modulation depth. The parameter objects have Moons that can be recorded as automation or randomized for additional layers of motion. On the Auto-Pilot Page, the Harvester can move between 12 breakpoints, which can also be triggered by MIDI notes for performative control.
• The power of the Harvester is hard to put into words. Hours of fun and surprises, and endless sonic possibilities await. Of course, there are many more features that are explained in detail in the manual.

Graindad comes with hundreds of presets from our best sound designers. All presets were meticulously crafted and created with love.

Q: 1. Other than $100, what is the difference between the FR-FX20 and the EF-FX PRO II?

A: Hi, it's the same adapter, except that FRFX2 has an aperture ring, while FRFX20 has no aperture ring.

Q: 2. On the adapter without the aperture ring, can you still set the apertures on the lens using the controls built into the body of the Fuji camera?

A: Yes, it supports using the camera to control the lens aperture.

Q: 3. Does it come with the power cord? Or do we need to buy separately?

A: The Resolve Mini Panel does not come with a power cord. You can power the panel with AC, 12V DC or PoE Ethernet. The panel does come with a USB cable.

Q: 4. It seems users have had mixed results in regards to whether the standard adapter (without aperture ring) allows you to manually control exposure. Does anyone know whether the standard version allows for manual exposure control with the Fujifilm X-S10? Or does it only allow for auto exporsure?

A: The Fringer EF-FX II Lens Mount Adapter for EF- or EF-S-Mount Lens to Fujifilm X-Mount Camera is going to allow electronic aperture control, so you can use the X-S10 in manual exposure mode.

Q: 5. Will Photo Booth work with Windows 10?

A: Yes it does

Q: 6. Can you use any of the contrast wheels to scrub in the editing section? I am looking for a scrub wheel for davinci, this could be great for both if possible

A: No.

Q: 7. Can i upload software in the Ipad or do I need a laptop computer?

A: Yes, you can run this software via an app on an iPad. However, a PC is still required for the server component of the iOS device.

Q: 8. Will this work effectively with a Fujifilm H2, and older autofocus Sigma Nikon mount lenses?

A: The Fringer NF-FX II Nikon F Lens to FUJIFILM X Camera Adapter is compatible with the FUJIFILM X-H2 Mirrorless Camera. On the adapter page it under compatibility it lists the specific lenses it can work with.

Q: 9. What is the weight of the adapter itself? The specs only list the package weight.

A: The weight of Fringer NF-FX II Nikon F Lens to FUJIFILM X Camera Adapter is 180g or 6.3 ounces.

Q: 10. Without the aperture ring, can I use manual mode on the X-H1 and change the aperture with the back dial? Or can I only use auto aperture?

A: Auto exposure only.
