EDIT PAGE – Oscillator Voice Multiplier - Granular Zoom - Grain Controls

 

GRAIN DEPTH

Moving this slider to the right increases the number of grains which are created from the Soundsource. The higher the number of grains, the higher the demand on the CPU. Excellent results can usually be obtained without using a lot of GRAIN DEPTH, so use it wisely. In the Granular Visualizer, GRAIN DEPTH adds more loops to the spiral, which represent more grains overlapping with each other.

Range 0.000 to 1.000

 

INTENSITY

When the sample is sliced into grains, the size of the grains can be altered, which changes the speed and intensity of the effect. When the INTENSITY slider is lower, the grains are longer and there is a slower transition to the next grain. When the INTENSITY slider is higher, the grains are shorter and transition more quickly. In the Granular Visualizer, INTENSITY increases the density of the spokes, to show shorter intervals.

GRAIN INTENSITY is a Modulatable parameter.

Range 0.000 to 1.000

 

SMOOTHING

Since the grains can vary in pitch and amplitude, the change from grain to grain can be abrupt and jarring. Increasing the value of this slider softens the sharp transitions. Think of SMOOTHING as cross-fading between the grains. In the Granular Visualizer, SMOOTHING changes the brightness of the blue lines.

Range 0.000 to 1.000

 

SPREAD

This slider controls the placement of the grains within the stereo image - the higher the SPREAD, the wider the grains will be panned across the stereo field. In the Granular Visualizer, SPREAD adds a 3D appearance to represent the added dimension.

Range 0.000 to 1.000

 

DETUNING

The grains can be detuned by increasing this control. The higher DETUNING is set, the more variation in pitch will be heard in the grains. This does not affect the pitch of the Soundsource itself, just the grains. In the Granular Visualizer, DETUNING adds a waviness to the spiral.

Range 0.000 to 1.000
