Flowsonics has announced an update to its experimental grain delay effect plugin for Windows and Mac. Version 2.0 of Graindrop comes with various new features, improvements and fixes.

At its core, Graindrop was designed to be an experimental and versatile audio manipulation tool. With its emphasis on randomization, you can add subtle nuances to your sounds through the randomization of playback, panning, and muting.

Graindrop comes equipped with an XY-pad where you can assign and control two parameters simultaneously. It also includes a trajectory mode, which allows for constantly changing parameters.
