Best Granular VSTs?

Again, dunno about 'best' but the ones I use most are Padshop2, The Mangle (more or less abandoned), and the sampler in Bitwig (Granular Mode). The granular engine in VPS Avenger is pretty capable as well but then that's just a little part of that synth and maybe not exactly what you're after.

the mangle seems like exactly what Im after, why do you say abandoned though?

Not a VST, but standalone and open source and higly recommended: Emission Control 2

The Mangle hasn't been updated in quite a few years despite known stability issues here and there - on my systems as well, in reaper and Ableton Live 9 and 10.


Anyway, as long as it is working it is one very nice instrument for sure.
Just try the demo and see how it works for you.
 
As for granular in synths: *)

- Arturia Pigments 2
- UVI Falcon 2, those marvellous IRCAM oscillators... (and the regular ones too)
- Roli Equator 2

There’s also Audiority GrainSpace for some cool sfx

*) the ones I actually use
