3.3 Granular Devices
The Granular device slot is the second element in the audio chain. These
devices are aimed at granular processing and includes time-warping and
pitch-shifting algorithms to create interesting textures and sounds. Granular
is ideal for on-the-y audio deconstruction and live performances.
The page displayed will reect the granular device loaded.

About Granular Synthesis
Granular synthesis is based on the concept of taking an audio input or
sample and dividing it into multiple, small segments. Instead of
manipulating an oscillator, granular synthesis manipulates these tiny pieces
of audio by spraying them into the audio eld and adjusting the size and
shape. Control over the breadth of parameters involved serves to create
the output tone and sound with modulation adding more interest and
movement to the sound.
Material device will manage and
present the audio sample or input
A new sound will be generated and
will output to the lter device
A sample can be divided into up to
128 of miniature ‘grains’ per track.
Grains can be sprayed into the audio
eld and pitch detuning can be applied.
Contour is an envelope to shape
each grain. A wet / dry mix option is
also available.
