Introducing Granulita Versio: Granular chord resynthesizer and shimmer reverb

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Meet Noise Engineering’s chord machine, Granulita Versio.

LIMITED QUANTITIES AVAILABLE: Get your Granulita here: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

This granular chord resynthesizer takes your audio, slices it into grains, and reconstructs it into chords, clusters, and shifting harmonies. Paired with a shimmering reverb that adds glowing tails and angelic overtones, Granulita can turn even a single oscillator into something lush, cinematic, or beautifully haunted.

Granulita is part of the Versio platform, so once you’ve got your hands on this module, you can swap the firmware with any other Versio effect for free. Unpower the module, plug in the USB, and visit noiseengineering.us to make the swap.

Press release follows:

Noise Engineering announces Granulita Versio, a granular chord resynthesizer and shimmering reverb.

Contact: kris@noiseengineering.us

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their innovative platform modules, has released Granulita Versio, a granular chord resynthesizer and shimmering reverb.

Granulita Versio offers a simple solution to a complex modular problem. Chords, while beautiful, are difficult and resource-heavy to patch in a Eurorack system. Granulita solves this by generating harmonies for any input signal using a unique granular process. The Chord and Voice parameters allow the user to choose a chord and the note that follows the input signal.

The unquantized Pitch parameter adds an extra layer of harmonic options via transposition, detuning or vibrato.

For fans of granular processing, the Count and Length parameters will be familiar, Granulita can generate any number of grains from zero to 32, and grains can be 16 milliseconds to four seconds long. A modal trigger input and manual button add to the granular fun: freeze grains, sync their playback to an external clock or tap tempo, or use a trigger sequence to manually fire off grain playback.

No granular module would be complete without some atmospheric effects, so Granulita also adds the simple Verb parameter to add in some space. Below noon, small echoes put a patch in a realistic space – but turn up the parameter to add in shimmering octave overtones and feedback into infinity.

Part of the flexible Versio platform, Granulita will be available as an alternate firmware for all Versio owners, completely free, at the Noise Engineering firmware app. However, Granulita breaks the mold with a limited-edition hardware release: only 100 Granulita Versios with exclusive art will be produced, the perfect purchase for collectors or, perhaps, as a holiday gift for the granular enthusiast in your life.

Granulita Versio’s limited run starts December 11th at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.

Features
● Turn a monophonic signal into a full chord with ease
● Easily create gentle or ominous timbres from any input
● Modulate between 16 resynthesized chord shapes using the CV-controllable Chord and Voice parameters
● Use Count and Length to change the number and size of grains
● Add subtle atmosphere or shimmering, infinite reverb with the Verb parameter
● Create massive soundscapes or use external triggers to fire or freeze grains
● Play grains forwards, backwards, or in random directions

Availability and pricing:
Granulita Versio: Limited run in stock. Shipping from Noise Engineering and retailers starting December 11th, 2025; MSRP US$393
