GRM Tools Atelier is Coming Soon!
5,0 / 5,0 | 
The new GRM Tools Atelier Creative Audio Workbench is a versatile sound design software sketch pad in plugin and standalone formats.
If you haven’t heard of GRM Tools yet, the French sound design software was one of the OG plugin bundles back in the 1990s. Although GRM Tools is focussed in the sound design sphere, the plugins have still been used in music production by the likes of Billy Howerdel from A Perfect Circle.
GRM Tools Atelier
With Atelier, GRM Tools offers users a chance to interact with the creative sound manipulation in a very intuitive and organic way. This involves taking seemingly simple concepts like comb filtering or granulation and making them more experiential in terms of the user experience.
The Atelier software was on show at Superbooth, where we could see its creative potential as a plugin or standalone platform with a range of nine very specific sound processors. Although even one of these modules can create unique and organic sounds, you can pick and choose to build your processing chain as you like, and modulate effects for deeper interaction between the various processors.
One of the most impressive effects was actually a granular-like sampling effect called GRMplay. This requires an audio file to be inserted as the source material, and then you can create multiple playheads that play back different parts of the waveform simultaneously, creating a polyphonic, drone-like effect from vocal source material. What’s more, by zooming in or out, you can change the timbre of the sound, as you loop longer or shorter pieces of the source audio file.
Overall, Atelier is an exciting addition to your DAW, especially if you’re looking for new ways to conjure up unique sounds.
