Minimal Audio Lucid

Granular Effects Plugin

Minimal Audio Lucid Gui1.webp

Sounds That Couldn't Exist Until Now

Lucid is a next-generation granular effect that rebuilds any sound grain by grain into musical textures, harmonies, and rhythmic effects - always in key, in time, and fully under your control.

This is what granular was always supposed to be. Rebuild any sound grain by grain into vibrant harmonies, rhythms, and textures that stay in time and locked to your key.

Scale Lock

Traditional granular effects ignore your key, Lucid detects each grain's pitch and retunes it in real time.

Now you can transpose, modulate, and harmonize freely while staying in tune.

Timeline Sync

Sync to the grid, snap to transients, or scrub through loops in real time.

Everything stays locked to your timeline and visible on the waveform display.

Grain Effects

Every grain gets its own effects that evolve in bold new ways.

Adding vivid detail and movement that no single effect could produce.

Features

  • Real-time granular engine - Lucid works as an insert on any channel or source, rebuilding the incoming audio grain by grain into deeply musical sounds you couldn't make any other way.
  • Grain scale-lock - Every grain's pitch is detected and retuned in real time, so you can transpose and modulate freely, always locked to your key.
  • Granular timeline sync - Sync time-stretching to your grid, snap to transients, or scrub manually through a captured loop while everything stays locked to your timeline.
  • Preset library - Over 350 track-ready presets across 13 purpose-built packs, searchable by tag, each with two macros for instant control.
  • Harmonic grain delay - A multi-tap delay with scale-locked pitch shifting for always in-key shimmer effects and arpeggiated spaces.
  • Multi-mode grain filter - Every grain gets its own filter with independent modulation and drive for shifting tone and texture no single filter could produce.
  • Dynamic grain imager - Spread grains across the stereo field with unique panning patterns for a wide and controlled stereo image generated by the grains themselves.
  • Grain chord and arp modes - Stack grains into rich harmonies from any source, or step each grain through your scale for evolving sequences.
  • Timeline display - A timeline-locked waveform shows your captured input and where every grain plays, so you always see exactly what Lucid is doing.
  • Animator pad - One animated XY pad controls many parameters at once, for organic, evolving movement across your whole patch.
  • Grain blur - Blurs each grain to smooth away the digital artifacts of time-stretching and freezing, so even extreme processing stays organic and natural.
  • Full effects rack - Eight freely loadable studio-grade effects that extend the granular output, from mix-ready polish to deep creative sound design.
  • Deep modulation system - Assign macros, LFOs, curve sequencers, and envelope followers to any parameter by drag-and-drop or the modulation matrix.

The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.

iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration

iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home

iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.

iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.

iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).
