Modulr Grain Field

Chop your sound into glittering grains and scatter them. Beta: expect rough edges.

Modulr Grain Field records what you feed it and sprinkles tiny grains of it across a field. Drag along the recording to move where it reads from; grains rise in pitch as they scatter. This one is a beta: the magic is there and some of the polish is not.

Install it

Version 0.1.0, 2026-11-06.

The Modulr Hub app installs it for you, one click, and checks the download on the way in. Prefer doing it by hand? Unzip the file into the folder shown. Ad hoc (no Developer ID) and not notarised, so the first time you load it macOS asks you to allow it (System Settings, Privacy & Security) — normal for a small maker, and it only happens once.
