Done entirely on an automated granulator built in Pd.

Hi everyone,

This is the first patch I've ever posted up here (I'm new) and it would be great to get some feedback or suggestions.

Admittedly I don't know quite as much as I'd like to about granular synthesis, but I've seen a few implementations and I've taken the idea of playing back short bits of a sample in overlapping grains and applied that to a 5-voiced delay patch.

Each of the 5 voices randomly plays back snippets from the last 20 seconds of adc~ input, using different envelopes and randomization patterns. I've tried to give each of them a distinct sonic identity based on their location, length, attack and decay, frequency and volume. One of them will play back at a random pitch as well.

I hope you enjoy this patch. Any comments are very welcome.

Thanks for the heads up - I took it down and replaced it with an updated version, but forgot I put the link here.

Here's what it is now:

Thank you. Haven't messed with subtractive yet, perhaps I should give it a try.

Anyway, nice sounds!

Thanks for the reply!

The tags say that it's generative - what is being generated (filter parameters, rhythms, other things?)

Is there any way I could take a look at the patch? I've been teaching myself how to use Pd and am trying to figure out how sounds that I like to hear are being made.

I really like the way this sounds.

Could you tell me anything about how it was made?
