What SILO is

SILO is a granular reverb plugin for music production and sound design. It divides incoming audio into grains that can be adjusted, reversed and processed separately. Movement modes named Comets, Moons, Meteors, Stars and Shimmer shape motion and space with spatialization controls. Additional tools include filtering, compression, maximization, wet/dry control, presets and customizable color themes. The maker describes using SILO to reshape synths, vocals and percussion, and to create sound effects for video and post-production. Desktop formats are AAX Native, AU, VST2 and VST3, with host support listed for Pro Tools 10.3.10 or later and compatible VST, VST3 or AU hosts. SILO is available for macOS, Windows and iOS. The listed plan costs $50.00 USD one time. Plugin Alliance says activation starts a 14-day trial and requires an account.
