Granular Synthesis in Max/MSP
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a Granular synthesis patch for Max/MSP. Does anyone know where I can find websites that have more patches that I can download? Thank you very much.

Thanks for replying. I went to the link you sent me, but when I downloaded the toolkit I couldn't open anything. What is the toolkit exactly? I couldn't find any patches in the Toolkit that I downloaded for Windows XP. Do I need some other programs for this? Thank you again!
Take a look at:
MaxMSP > Examples > Sampling > Granular > granularized.pat
You can also look at:
Cheers

the toolkit contains 11 external objects and a bunch of abstractions. most of these have help files. the thing to do is to unzip the file, and copy the contents of the "GranTK_1.49win/abstractions/" and "GranTK_1.49win/externals" folders to the max externals folder (usually "C:Program FilesCommon FilesCycling '74externals" on winxp) then copy the contents of "GranTK_1.49win help/externals help/" and "GranTK_1.49 help/abstractions help/" to the max help folder (for me, that's "C:Program FilesCycling '74MaxMSP 4.5max-help", but may be different depending on your version of max), then copy the contents of the "extras/" folder to the max extras folder (again, for me this is "C:Program FilesCycling '74MaxMSP 4.5patchesextras"), then when you next load max, in the Extras menu, there will be an entry called gtk.objectGuide, open it. it contains a list of all the patches and externals. ALT-click them to open their help files.
... or you could read the readme file.
and where do you get these wonders?

I have had tons of success with these awesome objects.

fof and fog objects may be of interest to you. Developed at IRCAM by a
number of people, including one of my tutors, Michael Clarke.
Fof is for formant synthesis, and fog for granular. Unfortunately I don't
know where you can get them from as Dr Clarke sent them to me himself.

I could be wrong, but I think fof and fog are part of the IRCAM forum software subscription. In the research collection is my guess?
Here is the link to the IRCAM forum software, doesn't list all the objects so I can't be sure where it is.
Hello John,
Try my external for this, it'll almost certainly be faster than a pure
MSP implementation:
Best,
Michael

Hi!
this is (maybe) my first post...
I developed a simple patch for realtime granulation...
you can find it here :

I hope will be useful for you...
bye

Doesn't Csound support FOF and FOG? And there is csound~ for Max/MSP object. (no idea if it all works together, haven't tried)
Granular synthesis is one area where it really pays to write externals in MaxMSP, so several people have done so. I have two externals in LyonPotpourri, granule~ and granulesf~ - one for synthesis from complete waveforms and the other for granulating longer waveforms, such as recordings.
In addition to reasonably flexible built-in algorithms, my externals allow the user to specify individual grains, so that it is easy to implement arbitrary granular algorithms. For example, sending a granule~ object the message:
grain 200 440 0.7 0.1
produces a 200 ms grain at 440 Hz, amplitude of 0.7 panned mostly to the left.
A quick test of this approach, driving 200 ms duration grains from a metro at a periodicity of 5 ms (200 grains per second) costs about 4% of the CPU on my MacBook.
