[Sharing] - Simple Gen~ Granular synth

Chris B.'s icon

Hello!

This is a granular synth patch that I've developed in gen~. Nothing extraordinary, but it's quite low on cpu and it could allow multiple channels working on the same or various samples.

Hope you enjoy it. Comments and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Excellent work here. It's simplistic while not sacrificing stylistics- I was able to get some interesting results almost immediately.

My only critique is the "Wanderer" option- While it's implementation is spot on after the option has been terminated you'll discover that you no longer have control over the playback marker until the project has been restarted.

Thanks for sharing!

Propably really stupid question, but how do i load samples to this thing?

Hi!
simply create a buffer~ object and name it after one of the items in the umenu object (sample.x). You can load a sample in that buffer~ and select it from the umenu.

That makes sense, thanks :)

In the meantime, this equally unimposing gen-based granulator may keep you satisfied:

sorry guys, I moved the dropbox folder... :/

here is an updated version of the granular patch!

Hi Chris
if you name a gen patcher, as you have done, you need to include the associated gen file. Can you re-save this, with maybe an un-named gen patcher, or include the gen file. looking forward to having a tinker!

Brendan

i.e., our version has an empty/blank gen patcher

Hey Brendan, I just checked you gen patch. Is there a way to improve the sound quality somehow? I always see Ableton lives algorithm as the reference. If you load a audio file to Ableton and reduce the BPM it always sounds very harmonic and without any distortion.

DO you have any idea how to get there?
