Steinberg has introduced Padshop, a new granular synthesizer for Mac & Windows. Steinberg says that Padshop is “a granular synthesizer that raises the standard in terms of handling, flexibility, musicality and sound.”
Developer Carmine Emanuele Cella (Cryptosound) has introduced Nebula (App Store link) – a real-time granular synth for the iPad. Here’s the full description: Nebula brings real-time granular synthesis to the iPad, including glissons and grainlets. Granulation can be performed on several prototypal waveforms (sines, triangles, squares, noise) and morphing can be applied between them. It is possible… Read More New Granular Synth For The iPad, Nebula
Developer Paul Adams has introduced SoundMashine – a granular synthesis based sound sampling and sequencing instrument. The app records sound using the devices built-in microphone, then divides the sound into slices which are then automatically assigned to each of 16 screen tiles. Each tile has its own set of parameters allowing you to adjust window… Read More SoundMaschine Granular Synthesis Instrument For iOS
Giorgio Nottoli, Michelangelo Nottoli, Giovanni Costantini, Andrea Angelini, Massimiliano Todisco have released Texture 3.0, a granular synth for Mac & Windows. Texture is based on Asyncronous Granular Synthesis, using an algorithm developed by Giorgio Nottoli [Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia, Roma]. It generates a grains’ flow in which the way each grain follows the other depends… Read More Free Granular Synthesizer For Mac, Windows – Texture
Reaktor Sampler Pack is a new collection of three granular sampling instruments for Native Instruments Reaktor. Each instrument “has its own character and purpose”: Frame 2 is a simple looping sampler designed for live control of loop points and other parameters. Loupe is a polyphonic looping slicer for quickly mapping arbitrary (that is, non-beatsliced) sections… Read More Reaktor Sampler Pack Features Three New Granular Synthesizers
Grout is a granular synthesizer written in Max/MSP. It uses step sequencing to route individual grains through different effects and create complex textures. Features: Four granulation modules, each with 128 voices and dedicated lowpass filters MIDI control of all parameters Step sequencers for each module, for routing grains through built in delay, flange and overdrive… Read More Grout Granular Synthesizer Released (Max/MSP)
Tekky Synths has introduced G-RAiN, a new ‘granulizer sampler’ for Windows.
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. via Lorenzo Sutton
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: With Curtis Heavy, you can load your own wav files. They’ve also added a grain range mode. See below for another video demo!
