Virsyn Tera Pro 3.1 adds Clouds-based granular engine for iOS and macOS
Virsyn Tera Pro 3.1 is a free update that introduces a new granular synthesis engine modeled after the Mutable Instruments Clouds module. The update is available now for iOS and macOS users of the modular polyphonic synthesizer.
Virsyn Tera Pro 3.1 adds a Clouds-inspired granular engine via in-app purchase, expanding the synth’s multi-engine capabilities. The new CLOUDZ engine replicates the open-source Mutable Instruments Clouds processor, offering four modes and five adjustable parameters: position, size, pitch, density, and texture. A freeze function is included, and internal modulation can animate parameters in real time. The update is free, but the granular engine requires an additional purchase.
What’s new in Tera Pro 3.1
The headline feature of Tera Pro 3.1 is the CLOUDZ granular engine, which is based directly on the Mutable Instruments Clouds module. Users gain access to four distinct granular modes and five core parameters for shaping granular textures. The engine also includes a freeze function for sustained, evolving sounds and visual feedback via dual oscilloscopes.
The granular engine is accessible as an in-app purchase within Tera Pro. It joins existing Mutable Instruments-inspired modules like BRAINZ and RINGZ, further expanding the synth’s palette of synthesis styles. Virsyn notes that the CLOUDZ engine is currently available only in the Tera Pro FX version, though future patches may enable broader use.
Pricing and availability
The Virsyn Tera Pro 3.1 update is free for existing users. The new granular engine is available as a separate in-app purchase. The base Tera Pro app remains priced at $6.99 on the Apple App Store, though it is currently on a summer sale for the same amount.
Who is Tera Pro 3.1 for
The update benefits producers and sound designers seeking expanded creative options within a streamlined iOS/macOS environment. The addition of granular synthesis complements Tera Pro’s existing engines—virtual analog, FM, drum synthesis, additive, and wavetable—making it a versatile tool for electronic music and experimental sound design.
