Karanyi Sounds have released Cloudmax 3, available at the intro price of $59.00, increasing to $79.00 after the promotion.
Turn any audio into rhythmic patterns, harmonic layers, or musical textures.
Texture, motion, and resonance — in one plugin.
One gesture, the whole sound. Move a single macro and the entire engine follows — texture, motion, space — at once. Pop into Landscape Mode for the full canvas: every parameter visible, every move within reach.
Stay in key, or break it. DUAL stacks 2×2 grains for thick octave-pair textures. SNAP locks you to musical intervals. FREE opens the engine for continuous detune and microtonal exploration.
Four parallel grain engines, one massive texture. Up to 4 grains of shimmer, stretch, and smear — layered, detuned, and modulated independently. Pitch in semitones or continuous. Length from 1/64 to infinite. Feed it anything — the engine makes it sing.
The classic Cloudmax reverbs, rebuilt with significantly upgraded DSP. CIRRUS — vast cinematic tails, longer and more precise than ever. STRATOS — a flexible plate for tight, musical reflections. Two characters, switchable per patch.
Powerful modulations, shaped by gesture. Quick drags set rate, depth, and shape — sync to tempo or let it drift free. Assign one LFO to length, filter, resonator pitch — anything modulatable.
Eight worlds in one knob — and the library will keep growing with future updates. Cloud Models reach across every parameter at once: grains, resonator, modulation, space. Cloud-type models drift into long soundscapes; Drift-type models snap into rhythmic patterns for drums, vocals, and keys.
That same LFO drives any knob, in time with the music. One source, many destinations — assign it to length, pitch, filter, resonator, all at once. Musical animation that used to take a session of automation lanes, alive inside the plugin.
Find the sound, not the file. Audition presets instantly, filter by tag combinations — dark + percussive, bright + drone — and dig through your saves, factory content, and DLCs the same way. From idea to inspiration in seconds.
Tag once. Find forever. One click and the AI tags every preset for you — mood, character, motion. No more interrupting the flow to organize. Save it, name it later — the browser already knows what it sounds like.
Don’t lose the take. Step back through every move, then walk it forward again — across the entire session, no limit. Rare in audio plugins, essential when ideas are coming fast. Try anything; nothing is final.
Two skins, one feel. A deep Dark mode for late-night sessions and a clean Bright mode for daylight studios. Same workflow, same precision — just the light that matches the room.
Speak your studio’s language. Localized in 18 languages, with the in-app Guide explaining every parameter in plain words. The most intuitive workflow we’ve ever shipped — in any tongue.
Cloudmax 3 is available to PC and Mac users (VST3 and AU).
