The Portal Black Friday deal takes 50% off Output's granular effects plugin, bringing it to $74.50 until Nov 22, 2026.

Portal is a granular plugin that reworks whatever audio you feed it: VSTs, drums, vocals, live guitar. The maker says older granular effects sounded chaotic and abstract, while Portal re-synthesizes sounds that stay closer to the original input.

What does the Portal granular plugin do?

You get 250+ presets for immediate playability. When you want to go past them, the Advanced page opens up grain controls, modulation and FX so you can dial in the exact sound.

A circular visualizer is linked to the granular parameters. A value readout panel shows what the controls are doing, and built-in tool tips on the Advanced page explain them as you go.

The Presets menu has a favoriting feature, so the patches you reach for most are one click away.

What are the main Portal features?

Time Stretch: elongates and slows audio, and can either lock to your master tempo or run unsynced for rougher, more experimental results
Humanize: adds gentle variation to the envelopes so playback sounds less repetitive and more organic
Pitch Shift: transposes up or down without changing length or timing, with an optional scale lock
Grain delay that follows the session tempo
Pitch modulation driven by musical scales
Seven onboard effects, along with a master compressor and filter

Output describes Portal as built around the music you make rather than around noise, and the time engine and scale lock are the two features behind that claim.
