Kompose Audio have released Grenadier, available for $18.00.
Grenadier is a powerful new Kontakt instrument designed for composers and sound designers drawn to the darker edges of cinematic sound. Featuring 10 expertly crafted presets, it delivers a palette of gritty textures, haunting atmospheres, deep low tones, and icy, fragmented leads.
Inspired by themes of endurance, isolation, and quiet strength, Grenadier invites you into a world shaped by shadow and stillness. Each sound feels deliberate and heavy with tension – perfect for scoring psychological thrillers, ambient explorations, dark drama, and experimental music.
At the core of the instrument are eight smart, MIDI-assignable controls, allowing you to sculpt each sound in real time. From subtle, hollow resonance to aggressive, abrasive intensity, these controls give you expressive power to build evolving, emotionally rich soundscapes.
Whether you’re composing for film, TV, or immersive game worlds, Grenadier offers a unique sound – cold, bold, and beautifully unsettling. Step into the silence, and let your music speak the unspoken.
Assign any knob or slider to a MIDI CC Controller by right-clicking it, selecting ‘Learn MIDI CC Automation’ and moving your desired control.
All eight knobs support ‘Host Automation’ so you can automate them in your DAW. In Logic Pro, use Smart Controls, and in Cubase, Quick Controls.
For Maschine users, the eight knobs are pre-mapped to the controller knobs for easy access.

Grenadier requires a full version of Kontakt 7.10.2 or later.
