Granulator Description

Granulator application was designed to be a real-time, MIDI controllable, granular synthesizer. Granular synthesizers generate thousands of very short sonic grains to create audio textures. Events section: · density: number of grains by time frame · duration: duration of the grain · For high density and duration values, over one hundred grains can be playing at the same time. Playing over 100 voices simultaneously requires a lot of CPU resources. The CPU load is displayed as a percentage in the title bar of Granulator's window. This value is refreshed every second. Oscillator section: · pitch: pitch of the grain · offset: the starting point of the grain in the waveform · waveform: to select a new waveform, double-click on the graphic. Filter section: · cutoff: cutoff frequency of the filter · resonance: resonance of the filter · This is a low pass filter with a 24dB/octave slope. Envelope section: · attack: the attack time of the envelope · release: the release time of the envelope · To speed up the calculations, the envelope is trapezoidal. Although it would be nice to have other envelope shapes, this is usually sufficient for granular synthesis. If the attack and release parameters are both set to 0 the envelope has the shape of a pulse. If the attack and release parameters are both set to 127, the envelope has a triangular shape. Amplifier section: · amplitude: amplitude of the grains · pan: position of the grains in the stereo field. Delay section: · length: the duration of the delay · feedback: the feedback of the delay In addition, with the help of this software you can modulate each specific parameter by a random generator.
