One Loop. A Whole World of Portal Textures.
Turn a vocal chop, drum hit or simple loop into material worth resampling. Stride keeps new movement coming through Portal's mapped controls, so you can spend less time drawing and more time listening for the strange bits worth keeping.
| Comparison | On its ownPortal | With StridePortal + Stride |
|---|---|---|
| Your source | A loop, vocal or instrument, transformed by Portal's granular engine. | Keep that source and try different journeys through the granular texture. |
| Your texture | Shape the grains with Portal's controls, macros and internal envelopes. | Try new motion across the grain controls and macros you've mapped. |
| Your next idea | Explore the preset, its envelopes and its XY controls. | Keep the preset and reroll a new set of movements across unlocked lanes. |
| The part you like | Refine the grain and modulation settings that work. | Lock a useful movement and keep exploring the remaining lanes. |
| The rest of your chain | Add external distortion, filtering or delay in your session. | Put Portal and those hosted FX on one Stride canvas. |
| What you can chase | Granular transformations of your original sound. | Shifting clouds, broken vocal textures and rhythmic fragments to resample. |
