Description
Layer Engine is a standalone VST3 granular engine for audio production.
It includes two sample loop players, two granular engines, and two waveform synths, offering a versatile toolkit for audio manipulation.
The plugin also features a reverb function, a parametric EQ per layer, and a spectrum analyzer per layer, allowing users to fine-tune their audio output.
Additionally, it offers an AHDSR amp envelope per instrument layer, providing users with more control over their audio.
The user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) makes the plugin easy to use, even for those new to such software.
Layer Engine is compatible with Windows, macOS, and various Linux distributions.
It is built with HISE audio and exported for the free and open-source Rhapsody player.
The plugin is still in development, so users are encouraged to check back regularly for updates and improvements.
