How does DARK SKY work exactly?

DARK SKY includes 6 unique fx parameters for shifting your sound into a dream-like soundscape.

The Number parameter determines how many grains are sampled from the incoming audio, controlling glitch delay-like textures & atmospheric reverbs.

The Speed parameter determines the playback speed (pitch of the grains). This allows you to shift octaves to dial in your desired outcome.

The Detune parameter subtly randomizes the pitches of the grains and modulates them to create an ensemble-like sound.

The Feedback parameter recycles grains back into the signal, working in much the same way as a Feedback knob on a regular delay. The higher the Feedback, the longer the effect will linger.

The Size parameter controls whether you want to make the grains smaller or larger, extending or shortening the length of grain size.

The Mix parameter controls the “wet” mix amount of the other 5 parameters that you want blended into your dry signal.

Easy to use and super cool!!

The melodies I make with synths are fuller and the track is less empty. It adds a real boost to the production without having to put more samples on top.

Super easy to use and great present to get you started to create magical touch

I was looking a quick way and happy surprise to spice up my bass. This plugin came in just in time and did make that happen. I particularly like the preset sound of Butterfly and Ghost.

Soundscapes for DAYS!!

This adds some very ethereal vibes. Put it on a send or on a melody buss and start turning ****. Automating some of them throughout the track will be next on my list to tinker with. Definitely a solid purchase.

This Plugin Streamlines your Granulars

Overall this plugin produces a very desirable sound. You can slap it on pretty much anything to fill up the space in your sound, and create some cool ambiance. Now, while this plugin does work well and requires little to no adjustment out of the box, you can achieve a similar result with cheaper alternatives. I personally use FL studio, and while I dont know much about the stock plugins from other DAWs, I know FL has a free stock granular synthesis plugin. You can use this in combination with reverb, maybe some delay, distortion and detune, and a little mixing from other free Fl stock plugins to recreate a very similar sound. I really do like the sound that this plugin produces, and I can see why some people would buy it, mostly if you do granulars a lot and want a streamlined way to quickly apply and adjust them, but for someone like me I don’t know if this plugin really garners the price it has. Overall great for beginners who are willing to spend a little bit of money to get desirable sounds without much technicality, but this really isn’t the plugin for me. I’m not dissatisfied with the plugin itself, just the price for what it does (and how other methods can do the same thing for free)
