Instruo arbhar - Granular Synthesis; Granular Engines and Intensity

12
Granular Synthesis
There are two separate granular engines within arbhar. The Continuous
Granular Engine is controlled by the Intensity parameter. The Strike
Granular Engine is controlled by the Strike Input and Strike Button.
By default, 24 grains can be generated polyphonically from the
Continuous Granular Engine and 20 grains can be generated
polyphonically from the Strike Granular Engine. A total of 44 grains
can be played polyphonically between both granular engines.
Intensity: The Intensity parameter sets the amount of generated grains
from the Continuous Granular Engine.
• The maximum number of grains are generated when the knob is in
its centre position.
• Turning the knob anticlockwise from its centre position will decrease
the number of grains. Any knob setting anticlockwise of its centre
position will generate grains at the same amplitude and set a
synchronous grain generation pattern.
• Turning the knob clockwise from its centre position will decrease the
number of grains. Any knob setting clockwise of its centre position
will generate grains at random amplitudes and set asynchronous
grain generation.
