Dual Stream Granular Engine
Polarity Tension is a dual-layer granular instrument shaped by contrast. It is designed to create immersive sonic worlds from raw, physical sound. Built entirely from custom recordings of industrial machinery, extended string techniques and abstract vocalizations; Polarity Tension offers a palette that feels intentional, unstable, and alive with detail.

Developed with K/V
Soniccouture worked in collaboration with creative audio team K/V (Ramon Kerstens and Richard Veenstra) to create Polarity Tension.
The sound design in Polarity Tension reflects K/V's varied background: in music, sound art, and game audio. With years of experience working with Native Instruments, Arturia, Steinberg, Orchestral Tools, and others, K/V approach sound design as a musical and expressive process, rooted in imperfection and detail.
Grain Character - Movement Space
Each Polarity Tension preset can be pushed in totally different sonic directions, creating complex interactions between textures.
The four macro controls; Grain, Character, Movement, and Space provide hands-on, expressive control over the instrument’s sound. They come pre-mapped to NKS for each snapshot but can also be reassigned to control any parameter the user chooses.
Not so much a collection of presets, more a set of sonic vignettes.
