What it is

Portal is a granular effects plugin by Output that transforms any audio input into rich, evolving textures and atmospheres while staying musically coherent. Unlike traditional granular processors that produce chaotic results, Portal analyzes your sound and re-synthesizes grains in ways that feel intentional and musical. It works on anything - drums, vocals, synths, guitar - producing everything from subtle shimmer to full time-smeared ambience.

Who it's for

Producers who want to add movement, depth, and otherworldly texture to their sounds without getting lost in complex granular parameter editing.

Key features

• 250+ presets let you get started immediately across genres and use cases
• Musical scale-based pitch modulation keeps grain-shifted layers in tune with your session
• Tempo-synced grain delay and time stretching give you precise rhythmic control over evolving textures
• Seven built-in effects plus a master compressor and filter round out the processing chain for complete sound shaping
