Audio Damage AD046 Quanta 1.2.0 for Mac
Mac AudioQuanta is a granular synthesizer plug-in from Audio Damage for Mac. Instead of playing a sample back normally, its engine chops your audio into tiny grains and reassembles them, turning simple recordings into clouds, pads and strange melodic textures. It pairs that engine with filters, envelopes and flexible modulation inside your DAW.
Key Features
- Ten-voice true stereo granular engine with up to 100 grains per voice, each up to one second long
- Load your own samples in WAV, AIFF, Ogg, FLAC and MP3 formats by drag and drop
- Full control over grain pitch, rate, direction, shape, length, panning and source position
- Two multi-mode filters plus flexible envelope generators and flexible LFOs for modulation
- MPE support and a factory library with designer presets from well-known sound designers
How to Download
- Check that your DAW can host AU, VST3 or AAX instrument plug-ins on macOS.
- Get the installer from the developer: Download from the official site
- Install Quanta, load it on an instrument track, and drop one of your own samples onto the waveform to begin.
System Requirements
Quanta needs a Mac running a recent version of macOS and a 64-bit DAW that supports AU, VST3 or AAX plug-ins. An Intel or Apple silicon Mac with a multi-core processor handles dense grain clouds best.
FAQs
Is there a newer version of Quanta?
Yes. Audio Damage has since released Quanta 2, which adds a second virtual analogue oscillator and built-in effects. The official link on this page points to the current Quanta 2 product page on the Audio Damage site.
Does Quanta come with sounds, or do I need my own samples?
Both. Quanta ships with factory content and designer presets, and its real strength is loading your own audio, so any recording you own can become raw material for new sounds.
