Getting Granular
Granular Synthesis is the concept of processing synthesis using granulation. Granulation, or 'Grains', are the divided slices of a sample or waveform, which are then reorganised to form another waveform. Basically it represents sound as a stream of grains. Grains can vary in duration, amplitude, and internal details such as pitch and pan. Granular synthesis is the core technology behind the latest time-stretching and pitch-shifting algorithms, but it can also be used to gener
