Spec score 7.8 #9 of 25 in Pitch Correction Software

What it is

Efx FRAGMENTS is Arturia’s creative audio effect plugin for dividing, transforming, and rebuilding sound with granular processing. Classic, Texture, and Rhythmic modes provide different granular approaches. Pitch quantization offers 15 scales, while grain quantization can follow transient detection or snap to a grid. A spatializer includes nine trajectory presets, and two effect slots provide routing options. The modulation section combines an envelope follower, three function generators, and a step sequencer. A curated library supplies 60 presets. The plugin supports VST, AAX, Audio Unit, and NKS in 64-bit DAWs, with a standalone app also listed. It runs on Windows 10 or later and macOS 11 or later, requiring at least 4 GB RAM, 1 GB free disk space, and a four-core CPU. Apple M1 is supported; Windows ARM processors are not. The listed Efx FRAGMENTS plan costs €79 as a one-time purchase purchase.
