PORTAL is a granular synthesis FX plugin that transforms audio in a forward-thinking and musical way.

Turn your VSTs, drum samples or any live input such as vocals or guitars into infinite new possibilities.

In the past, the results of granular synthesis were often chaotic and abstract. PORTAL is a step forward, re-synthesizing sounds to give you a result that’s more closely related to the original input

Features:

250+ presets for immediate playability
A circular visualizer linked to granular parameters
Powerful time manipulation engine
Tempo – synced grain delay
Musical scale – based pitch modulation
7 built – in FX with an additional master ompressor and filter
Value readout panel for better understanding of controls

Built – in Tool Tips on Advanced page
Advanced

Go beyond the presets and mess with grain controls, modulation and FX in PORTAL’s advanced features.

Time Stretch

Slow down and stretch your sounds, then easily sync them to your master tempo or leave them unsynced for a more experimental vibe.

Humanize

Add natural – sounding variations to envelopes for less repetitive, more organic sounds.

Pitch Shift

Alter the pitch of your sound without affecting its length or timing. Lock it into a scale for the most musical result.

6:34 you can actually right click on the mix slider and lock it in place, that way you can flip presets without adjusting the mix each time

Sometimes I feel like I just want a new toy

[SimpleSouls]

your drum bus consolidated itself into a Flume samplepack loop :D

Wow I'm definitely getting this It'll work great with Rawstyle and hardstyle sounds

Hi and thanks a lot for this video: I use Portal since a while, but you showed me how to use it a bit more efficient. Can you please tell me from which pack you took the EWS Chior preset from? It's a preset for Serum, right? Is it also available for Massive? It sounds very nice.

[CyberJelly]

Even when i have all my sync buttons turned on Portal sounds off beat

[lavishmusiq]

Can someone please tell me what everyone is seeing that makes this standout? Great track but these are regular standard effects.

This is now on sale for $112! I am close to getting it - but, I want an X/Y MIDI controller for live performance.

I have a little question.. So I have a iMac late 2011 with i5 processors. Osx i run is Yosemite, i know its all kinda out dated but why fix it when it aint broke. My Question is: Would Portal work on my setup? On their website it says that Portal requires i7 processor's, is this true?
Thanks...

Has anyone used Portal on an M1 Mac in Rosetta? Does it work properly?

Looking to buy but unsure if it’ll work on my M1 as it’s not native compatible (yet)

[MrJfergs]

Anyone know what drum samples he uses in this video ? they sound really good.

Excellent overview Shane!
I just wish there was a Demo $150 is a lil steep to take the plunge!

[JacksonCecchett]

What is that serum preset the choir one?

[psy-lion]

Fancy looking but 150$...? Holly Jesus! Thats almost the same price as Serum...

[balimbula]

Assumed it was a midi plugin. Just tried using it for the first time.

[brennuvargr]

Amazing music! I love the use of Portal on those drums. :- o

[danielbrown]

What's up with that birds nest on your head? 

Anyway, I'm a huge Output user (Arcade, Movement, Signal) so wanting to see if this Portal is worth the buy. So far so good

Edit: ok I'm buying this now, fantastic tutorial mate, very well done!! I am sold!!

[captainvoluntaryistthestat]

"It's not a granular synthesis." I'm confused.

[psysword]

I don’t see anything special so far since I have soundtoys and waves bundles.

[balimbula]

You never talk about setting it up in DAW
