The Heart of Texture

Cloudmax 2 doubles the grain engine, offering 4 layers for creating sophisticated granular textures. The upgraded pitch system even allows chord creation from a single sound. Control every aspect of your textures, from pitch shifting and grain panning to density and more.

Triple Reverb Engine

Featuring three stunning algorithmic reverbs: “Stratus” from Cloudmax 1, the new “Cirrus” and “Wash” Inspired by cloud types, Stratus offers colorful, analog-style reverb, while Cirrus provides a delicate sound with super long tails. The new Wash reverb blurs textures before they hit the main reverb units, enhancing your creative options. The new Advanced view lets you fine-tune all the DSP reverb options at once.

  • What a beauty…a forward-thinking, powerhouse sound-design tool. Karayni call it a texture-resonator. Yup, it’s all that. And even more, in my workflow, I’d call it a time saving, on-the-spot vibe enhancer. Dave Gnozzi led me to this, and you can bet it’ll be in most of my projects from here on out. Karanyi Sounds…Bam! Home run
