MXR has launched the Textures Granular Synth Engine, an adventurous pedal designed to pull your sound apart and weave it into new forms. With the power of granular synthesis and dynamics processing, this pedal records what you play and reshapes it into a shifting blend of tones and timbres: shimmering pads, glitched-out rhythms, lush reverberations drifting back through themselves, and much more. It's a sandbox in pedal form, and every grain is yours to shape.
Whether you're a bedroom noodler chasing the ambient tones of your favorite record, a noise rocker layering dreamlike chaos under riffs and solos, or a sound designer scoring a film, there are no boundaries here—just a self-contained universe of musical potential sitting right on your pedalboard. Plug in, and see where it takes you.
MXR Textures Granular Synth Engine highlights:
- Transforms your signal into shimmering pads, glitched rhythms, and evolving textures
- Eight ready-to-play presets get you experimenting instantly, from regenerative octave loops to warbly polyphonic synth
- Three different modes—Delay, Auto-Freeze, and Layers—define how grains are sampled and replayed
- Size, Overlap, Pitch, Reverse, Delay, Regen, and Mix knobs allow you to sculpt every grain
- On-board reverb, filter, and vibrato FX add further depth and dimension
- Deep parameter tweaks unlock randomization, effect fine-tuning, and tap tempo
- Full stereo I/O with mono, wet/dry, and true stereo output options, plus expression pedal and MXR Split + Tap compatibility
