Granular Synthesis: ‘Tropic’

March 1st, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

I found the combination of the sample player and granular synthesis in ready-made patches for Max/MSP to be a very rich area for improvisation. You can hear some of the results of this in an edited 5-minute session taken from V-Drum recordings. I was impressed by the organic qualities, liquid and solid textures and the range of expression and dynamics possible with this instrument.

    Hi,

    Nice sounds-cool idea to use recycle.org!
    Would you be so kind to tell us what patches you used?
    Maybe post an url towards the download?

    Thx!

    Thanks :) Those granular synthesis patches were slightly adapted from the ones freely available for Max/MSP in tutorials etc. The 2 sample playback, granular patch and routing were given to us by our tutor Thomas Gardner at LCC so not sure I can freely distribute them..
