Proton Particle Accelerator

Please note that this product requires Reason 9.2

Proton is a highly versatile granular synthesizer designed in collaboration with Selig Audio. Its three distinct grain engines are capable of producing a wide array of sounds, ranging from mushy, floating ambient pads to crackling, stuttering leads.

• 3 granular sound engines
• Easy-to-use zoomable wavetable display
• Semitone pitch quantization for sequences, drones, and arpeggios
• 2 multi-mode filters (LP24, LP12, BP12, HP12, and comb), configurable in parallel or in -series
• Classic ADSR envelope + Graphic amp envelope
• 2 graphic modulation envelopes with 8 different loop modes
• 2 saw/triangle LFOs with optional random drift
• Random noise modulation source with 3 different probability density functions
• Phaser effect
• Delay effect with optional coloring filter
• Reverb effect
• Graphic equalizer effect with 4 filters (low shelf, high shelf, 2 parametric filters)
• 30-slot modulation matrix with secondary modulation

What’s new in Proton 1.1:

• Added third grain engine
• Optimized GUI with improved usability
• Optimized sound engines
• Added pitch quantizer
• Added stereo width control (engine 2 and 3)
• Added graphic EQ
• Added generic modulation matrix
• Added button for cropping sample to loop start-/endpoints
• Added second modulation envelope
• Added new modulation envelope loop modes
• Added possibility to set sustain point in modulation envelopes
• Added a random noise modulation source
• Added coloring filter to the delay effect
• Added graphic amp envelope
• Added 4 generic modulation CV inputs
• Added grain pan as modulation destination (for all 3 engines)
• Added expression as modulation source
• Added sustain pedal as modulation source
• Added per-voice MIDI key number as modulation source
• Added main volume and pre-fx volume as modulation destinations
• Bug fix: shift-dragging a knob, then releasing shift, would cause parameter value jump
• Bug fix: samples shorter than 600 frames wouldn’t show up in the waveform display
• Bug fix: setting sample rate to 192kHz would blow the fuse
• Bug fix: back panel had no rack rails
