Audio Damage - AD046 Quanta Full version is a full-featured ten-voice true stereo granular synthesizer, with up to a hundred 1000ms grains per voice, and full control over the grain state, with direct randomization and modulation of most parameters. Drag-and-drop a sample (WAV, AIFF, Ogg, or FLAC) on to the window and go to work. With two multi-mode filters (with LP, HP, BP and notch in 2-pole and 4-pole topologies), and a “sidecar” virtual-analog oscillator and noise generator that can be used in addition to, or injected into, the grain engine, Quanta is a fully capable subtractive synth in its own right, and will work as a granular or subtractive (or both) synth without any sample at all.
 
Audio Damage - AD046 Quanta Full version has mod coming out its ears. First up are four of our new FEGs (Flexible Envelope Generator), a 99-point looping function generator with optional host tempo sync. Then add two arbitrary-waveshape LFOs, a multi-source sample-and-hold module, and fully user-controllable MIDI assignments, with nearly every control on the panel as a destination. Quanta is customizable to your taste and playing style.

 FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS Granulate!

 Control!
Quanta is customizable to your taste and playing style. With full MPE support, it can take advantage of the extended control set of your Linnstrument, Seaboard, Soundplane, Continuum, or other MPE controller, and support for TUN files lets you use tuning tables. The resizable Hi-DPI GUI lets you adjust the size to match your visual needs, and the cross-platform preset mechanism lets you share your creations with your friends and collaborators, no matter what system they are using.

 FEATURES

1. Multi-Format Sample LoaderQuanta can load AIFF, WAV, Broadcast WAV, FLAC, MP3, and Ogg in any sample rate, bit depth, and channel configuration. 
2. Grain EngineUp to 100 simultaneous grains per voice, of up to  1 second long, with control over grain rate, pitch, direction, shape,  length, panning, source position, and level.
3. Sidecar OscillatorContinuously variable wave shape, with  pulse width modulation, and independent control over pitch (separate  from grain engine.) Can be injected directly into grain engine. 
4. Noise SourceNoise source features a "color" control that  affects tonal characteristics of the noise. Can be injected directly  into grain engine. 
5. Dual Multi-Mode Filters
   Filters can be used in  serial or parallel modes, and include lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and  notch in 2-pole and 4-pole configurations. 
6. Flexible Envelope Generator (FEG) x 4
   The four FEGs  are arbitrary function generators, with up to 99 steps, curve and step  level control, arbitrary loop points, and host tempo sync. 
7. Flexible Low-Frequency Oscillator (FLFO) x 2
   The  pair of FLFOs utilize four controls (phase, shape, skew, and warp) to  access a virtually limitless palette of waveforms, and feature host  tempo sync and retrigger. 
8. Sample And Hold
   The S&H mod source can sample  noise (random) or any of the other mod sources, at either a user-defined  rate or a musical division.
9. Modulation Matrix
   Every mod and MIDI source can be  easily and simply assigned to any destination using the quick-access  bi-polar modulation matrix. Touch a destination on the UI and the matrix  automatically scrolls to the correct row. 
10. Tuning Tables And Global Tuning Offset
    Re-tune  Quanta to new intonations and temperaments using the open-source and  easy-to-use TUN file format. A global tuning offset (default to A=440)  allows you to easily retune the entire synth to match a different A  frequency without using a tuning table. 
11. MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) 
    Quanta understands  both "legacy" MIDI and MPE. Use your Linnstrument, Roli Seaboard, Haken  Continuum, or Madrona Labs Soundplane (among others) to directly access  per-note pressure, pitch bend, and modulation. 
12. Per-Instance Settings
    Quanta utilizes a per-instance  customization method: set MPE mode, aftertouch smoothing, pitch bend  range override, tuning table, and global tuning offset for each instance  in your DAW. 
13. Factory Presets
    Quanta comes with a substantial  collection of factory content, including Designer Presets from Marcus  Fisher, Joseph Fraioli, Chris Carter, and Richard Devine.
14. Cross-Platform Preset Format
    Quanta utilizes an  XML-based preset manager, and stores the sample within the preset for  easy asset management. Work between multiple systems without troubles,  make a preset on your desktop machine and paste it to the iOS version  with Handoff, easily share your creations with your friends, or make a  preset bundle to sell, no asset management required. 
15. Fully Resizable Hi-Dpi/Retina GUI
    Quanta's  vector-based GUI is resolution-agnostic, and displays the same on every  system and resolution. Easily resize the UI (per instance) to match your  visual needs, from postage stamp to poster-sized. 

 CHANGES IN v1.1.0
 New: 

1. Voice activity lights have been replaced with graph indicators. These show a sum of the level of mod going to the Output. (i.e. the graph is the total of everything routed to the OUTPUT channel in the mod matrix.) This gives a much better visual indicator of voice activity than the previous "is this thing on?" LED.
   FEGs now have animated activity indicators showing the progress of the FEG for every voice. 
2. FEGs now have a RESET button; this returns the FEG to its default "ADSR" state. 
3. FLFOs now have animated activity indicators for each active voice. 
4. Maximum voice count has been increased to 15. This should solve any lingering voice-rollover issues with MPE controllers. 
5. The salmon color of the interface has had its richness of salmon increased approximately 15%; we are confident this is the richest salmon color in the audio plugin industry. 

 Fixes: 

1. The voice stealing algorithm (which was the source of most if not all of the "clicks" that many users experienced) has been totally replaced, and Quanta is certified click-free. 
2. The cause of the CPU loading when the UI was closed on iOS was found and destroyed. 
3. The Mac factory preset download issues have been solved.
4. Numerous improvements and fixes, and a complete rebuild against all current plugin SDKs.
