Free sound design tools for creating unique textures

[JackYJ]

Sound design is one of my favorite parts of production. What free sound design tools do you use for creating unique textures, atmospheres, and experimental sounds? I'm talking about granular synths, spectral processors, weird effects, etc. Some free modulation effect plugins can get really creative when pushed. What are your favorite tools for when you want to create something completely original?

For free sound design tools, Vital is amazing for granular synthesis. PaulXStretch is free and can create incredible ambient textures. These free modulation effect plugins when pushed to extremes can create unique sounds. The free sound design tools available now are so powerful that you could spend years exploring just the free options.
