PolyFreq Phonon v1.0.1 Rev2 WiN

Your precision granular laboratory for sonic alchemy
With sub-sample precision and audio-rate modulation, Phonon transforms any source into a spectrum of new sound - from vaporised textures and dark drones to sharp, machine-funk beats.

Feature Summary
From surgical time-stretching to total sample destruction, turn any sound into a playable, expressive synth

Granular Engine: Eight voices and sub-sample precision bridge the gap between classic textures and sharp “graintable” synthesis
Effects: Shape your sound with a character-driven signal chain, from saturating drive to resonant filtering and a utility reverb for glue or depth
Modulation: Drag-and-drop, flexible, audio-rate modulation matrix with unique sources like metadata and noise flavours
Presets: Easily capture, export, evolve and share your sonic creations with sample embedding and eight-way snapshots.
Phonon provides a drag and drop workflow in a resizable interface, for ease of use as a standalone instrument or plugin-based production in the DAW of your choice.

Features in Detail
Innovative, precision grain engine
8 voices of polyphony
Tune pitch automatically or manually to the sample's root note
Up to 256 grains per voice
High quality grain playback
Precise, sub-sample grain scheduling
Many randomisation options for asynchronous control (for versatile, classic, randomised granular textures)
Unprecedented timbral control, with separate control of grain density and grain rate
4 keyboard follow modes
Grain shape control between gentle curves and sharp, rectangular window for “graintable” synthesis
Stereo pan and randomisation - or modulation - for versatile perceptual widening control
Cross-fade between granular and straight sample playback for further fun
Legato mode for mono with ability to slur notes without retriggering the envelope
Extra creativity controls: snappy onsets, control grain length at source or playback (linking or unlinking grain pitch and length), and auto-tune

Powerful modulation capabilities
Easy drag and drop modulation, with connections list view if needed
Audio / grain-rate modulation
Modulate almost every synth or effect parameter
Highly flexible modulation matrix
9 modulator types, with scope for new options in future - send us your requests!
Envelope, LFO, spline curves, MIDI control with remapping, Step Sequencer, Noise types and sample and hold, XY Pad, Macro knob, and Metadata modulation, offering sample RMS as a modulation source, enabling envelope follower effects and much more
12 modulator slots per patch
Individual send levels and inversion option per destination
Instantiate any modulator as many times as you like, up to available slots - have 12 different LFOs if you want!
