Granular Synthesis
Grain Oscillator
191
Grain Tab
The Grain tab of the grain oscillator contains the parameters for the granular synthesis.
Sample Display
The sample display provides an overview of the sample and shows a playback locator for
each grain stream. It shows the resulting effects of the grain oscillator parameters and helps
you find the sample portions that you want to use as grain sources.
The sample start and end markers of the sample are indicated by orange lines. They
determine the range that can be used to create grains. If the sample has a defined sustain
loop, the grains use the sample range between sample start and loop end.
NOTE
Release loop settings and release markers are not taken into account. The sustain and the
release loop are shown as green and red shades in the sample display. The release marker
is shown as a blue line. However, these are only indicators. You can edit the corresponding
parameters on the Sample tab.
Speed and Direction
The Speed and Direction parameters determine how the playback position moves through
the sample when you play a note.
Speed
Determines how fast the playback position progresses through the sample. If this
is set to 0
%, the playback position stays fixed. At a setting of 100
%, the playback
position moves through the sample at its original speed. At the maximum setting,
the playback speed is eight times faster than the original speed.
Direction
Allows you to set the playback speed in smaller increments. Furthermore, this
determines the playback direction. If you enter negative values, the playback
position moves backwards through the sample.
