granular synthesis
Articles about granular synthesis:
This is a short demonstration of Granita, a minimalist granular synthesis patch for Pd (Pure Data) mainly for working on pre-existing recordings.
It is in development, but fully functional. Most of the workings of the patch were inspired by reading Microsound by Curtis Roads.

Loomer Shift is a real-time diatonic granular pitch shifting and delay effect for Mac & Windows.
Shift has three independent true stereo delay lines with discrete time, feedback, pan, and volume controls. Each delay line can be set in one of three pitch shifting configurations (Chromatic, Recursive, or Diatonic) and transposed by as much as an octave up or down using both coarse semitone and finely grained cent controls.
Shift is available for Mac OS X v 10.4 and above, Windows XP and above, and Linux, in Audio Unit, VST plugin, RTAS for Pro Tools 7 and above, and Standalone application formats. Shift retails for £35.00.
Remember Curtis (App Store link), the $1 granular synthesizer application for the iPhone?
It’s about to get heavier, as the current version gets new features and morphs into Curtis Heavy:

Filed under: Software Effects & Audio Processors, iPods & Portable Media PlayersMultimedia artist Marcus Fischer captured some of his experiments manipulating thumb piano with Curtis (App Store link), the granular synth app for the iPhone that’ll set you back 1 American dollar:
the strange agency made this great little granular synthesis iphone application called curtis. it’s named for composer, author, granular synth advocate curtis roads. this is just a quick little thing i recorded using a captured bit of sound from a thumb piano. pretty fun little application to play with.
Curtis is a very limited (or focused, depending on your viewpoint) application. But it’s amazing that for $1, you can turn your iPhone into a very useful tool for exploring the world of granular synthesis.
