I know. Years ago I got into eurorack to get into granular as well as using some max for live devices. Now we have so many great choices ITB. Personally, I have too many now but since this is SB I went ahead and upgraded my bundle to include it.

Downloaded demo \ installed without probs. (latest Opera browser)

First impression - for Sugarbytes devs - guys, at default 100% scale, the UI looks just gigantic, i have 2k (2560x1440) monitor, and even with this, plugin window didn't fit inside DAW, going beyond the borders lol. So, i turned to the options and found only 90% (-10%) size option there. That still looks big a much, exactly to whole screen.
Additionally, found that when the interface is open, the CPU cooling starts to gain momentum (maybe because such size ?), which is also not good.
I hope this is some wrong UI behavior (or need option to more reduce size than -10%).

Win10 21H2 \ VST2 \ Studio One 4 here

Whoever does their GUIs deserves an award. Seriously one of the best teams in the world.

I always very like visual design of SB plug's, but here definitely some size issue.

Hi c_voltage,

thanks for your report! On Windows there is another workaround. It's not perfect, but it may improve your current situation regarding monitor size: To decrease the plug-in just click an empty area in Graindad's User Interface to bring it in focus and hold the Shift key down while presing the Page Down key on your keyboard. To enlarge it hold Shift + Page up.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Nadine

I watched the full tutorial video and played with Graindad for a while yesterday and am loving it. Awesome plugin, great job Sugarbytes. It’s a wonderful addition to my granular folder. Absolutely worth the $50 upgrade for bundle owners.

Any connection to the well-established and similarly-named granular offerings from Bastl: grandPA and MicroGranny?

Thanks it works (and cpu cooler became normal behavior).

Hi Alchemedia,

sorry to hear that! Yes, I must confirm that there are some rare cases at the moment, unfortunately. The virus warning is a bit unclear since all our plugins are already signed tools and are 100% safe from our side. We've already submitted our files for malware analysis. Anyway, if Microsoft Defender Antivirus detects a piece of malware it will be recorded in Protection History. So while we are working on a solution, what you could do is to go to your Windows Virus & threat protection -> Protection history
By clicking the blocked thread you can expand it and get more details.
Selecting the Actions dropdown at the bottom right corner will let you choose to Allow on device.
Choosing Allow on device will let the file proceed.
Now you'll need to redownload the file and it should work.

Sorry for the trouble!

Best,
Nadine
