[spindrift~] is the mother of all granular synthesis externals for Max.

It not only features the standard granular synthesis parameters, but also boasts a slew of powerful per-grain spatialization parameters, designed for equidistant multichannel loudspeaker arrays. Spatialization can be controlled manually or set on automatic ‘spinning’ or ‘drifting’ trajectories.
