Does it allow import of own samples?
No... there's already a few really great granular Kontakt instruments that are meant for that (Granulate comes to mind)... this one is made up of content that was extensively produced and prepared specifically for granular synthesis (which doesn't always work that well with random samples).
I'm not entirely sure there's *anything* new or unique left to discover!Omnisphere has it, Vengence sound Avenger has it( and I use both). This doesn’t sound like anything new or unique to me....
"STRAYLIGHT has a bespoke granular engine that places the source audio into a powerful and specialized – yet easy-to-use – interface"
uhm... bespoke? did they do a specific internal granular module inside Kontakt or is he speaking about scripting? If the latter i know there were many granular attempts before this one... sounds go though...
and the browser for snapshots? is he referring to just presets or the real kontakt snapshots (i did not know there was a browser for the snapshots)...

That is the C15 of Stephan Schmitt.Any idea what keyboard Paul Haslinger is playing underneath the Matrix Brute at about 3:30?
FWIW, I first heard granular synthesis 30 years ago, so yes, it’s been around (since the 70s).Omnisphere has it, Vengence sound Avenger has it( and I use both). This doesn’t sound like anything new or unique to me....
Hi everyone, I'm the creator of the Straylight.
The granular engine allows very detail control of the grain cursor. You can select if the cursor should move smoothly through the waveform or strictly follows the position modulation with immediate changes. You can define the direction of the cursor when you release the note, the cursor can be synced to the host clock which allows for transition / effects sounds which can be played polyphonically and are in time. So you can define the "color" of the riser / transition with the chord you play.
But, the unique feature of the product is the sample content which fits the granular use case and was explicitly recorded and processed for the product.

Guessing it'll be Ultimate upwards as NI tend to keep the cinematic stuff for the higher tier.Wonder if this will the in the next Komplete
