- 32-part polyphony.
- Support of files of samples in the WAV and AIFF formats, digit capacity of 8,16,24 and 32-bits / sample, mono / stereo. Files are supported only uncompressed by codecs.
- The editor of the bending parameters of granular synthesis. 18 envelopes with the maximum quantity of nodes - 40 (in each envelope). Also there is a tab where it is possible to edit dependence of amplitude of the clicked key bending from a tonality. There is a possibility of synchronization of provisional regulations of nodes of envelopes with rate of composition in DAW.
- Controlled randomization of parameters of granular synthesis.
- Amplitude non-linear distortions, with a possibility of a type selection (a clipping, bit-crusher, etc.) - only 11 types.
- The controlled universal filter allowing as manual installation of frequency of a cutoff (Cutoff) and a resonance (Reson), and by means of envelopes. There is a mode in case of which the frequency of a cutoff depends on a tonality of the clicked key. In the filter different types of filtering (LP, HP, BP, Comb The line of a time delay with modulation realizing effects of Delay and Flanger. There is a possibility of time synchronization of a time delay with rate of composition in DAW, and also the set modes of back coupling (Normal/CrossFeed) and the wave form of a modulating signal LFO (Sine/Triangle).
- The reverberator creating high-quality spatial reverberation on Ambient Reverb Stone Voices technology.
- The master the section including regulators of low and high frequencies, and also width of a stereobasis and the overall level.
- The microtone setup using files of the VAZ/Anamark tuning format format (extension of *.tun and *.scl).
- Tools for operation with banks and presets.
- Support of MIDI controllers.
- Detailed help manual.

I didnt manage to save a custom presets name. it's all a mess. So you cant have > 1 instances with different sounds. 64bit version crashed, 32 bit didnt. What makes this synth special is, that a custom sample of 1 sec can be looped endlessly without any cracks or dropouts, that nice.
I'd donate to this developer. This although Marazmator is a bit hard to use. This plug-in is OK with the GUI but could be very CPU intensive especially if the user wants to import his/her sounds. Be careful modulating "Inferon" parameter. Must resist wanting to do "everything" with the envelopes because it's tedious. The separate program to build a bank is buggy, sometimes doesn't commit changes. This synth is great for ambient soundscapes or just weird-sounding tones, but for somebody who has a lot of microprocessing horsepower and some patience.
The knob just below sample selection is "Interonset" not "Inferon" sorry about that. :/
Beware of this one. Amazing featureset, but unfortunately it's not very stable; even worse, it actually decided to break irreversibly on my rig, rendering all projects using it hostage, until I removed the plugin. Maybe you'd have more luck (hence why I didn't just drop a 0-star rating), but please beware.
It is a great plugin when it works, though.

Somehow I can't get it to work in S1 :( The Audio Driver always seems to get 'blocked'?

Beautiful sounds, thank you! for some reason - I can't record it. I mean, playing it sounds wonderful, but when i click record on my DAW (Live 10) - it crashes. Am i doing sthg wrong?
А для Мак ОС будет версия ?

Very good synth for ambient or fx sound design. You can find more banks on the developer's site.

Brilliant granular synth! Thanks a lot Stone Voices! <3
Great synth but crashes in Cubase Pro 9.5 if you change presets. Cascade error windows.
Neat synth if you look for more sound banks check the stone voices website there are some

Very gooood but not enough presets !
Had version 2.0 in Reaper and everything was perfect, but install version 2.2 and started to fail. In some theme I used 2.0, now when I load it with version 2.2 gives error and the program hangs.
In Reaper/Linux version 2.2 works fine

Sounds great, and it's fun to use. Now, if only it'd stOP MUTING MY PRESETS ONCE I SAVE THEM.

Excellent granular synth. Loads of nice presets, very pro sounding. Load in your own samples and mess around with the controls (particularly the distortion), makes some lovely, fat, original sounds. Thanks a lot Stone Voices!
