Hi Larry... me again.

The 'grain' layer is (simplified explanation) an 'operator' or modifier to convolve granularity with and upon the 'sample' layer [and somewhat the inverse as well, but I digress...].

This guy spent 20 minutes on what, IMHO, could have been covered in less than half that time, but it may help to enlighten you to what Straylight can do. [FYI... Pharlight operates on the same concept... except it is convolved with 'vocal-based' samples.]

and of course, there is the NI walkthrough that might help too:
