rgr.grains

Recreation of the GMU GMEM granulators using FrameLib. A fairly straight up grain engine that allows for flexible trigggering of grains, variable envelopes, a bit of panning etc. As far as possible everything is done with signals, and it should be capable of perfect reconstruction.

There are two versions:

• rgr.bufgrains~ plays back grains from a buffer
• rgr.livegrains~ plays grains from a circular recording buffer Both of them have a rough .maxhelp for simple usage.

Roughly, they take as input:

• (audio signals in for the live version)
• trigger (signal where any nonzero value will trigger a grain)
• position (or offset relative to current recording point)
• pitch (1 = original, 2 = octave up, 0.5 = octave down, -1 = backwards)
• grain amplitude (0..1)
• grain length (ms)
• pan (-1 .. 1)

You get out:

• stereo signals full of grains
• record/playback positions (on the live version)
• other info

Examples

• In the examples folder, MinimalLiveGranulator.amxd is a Max for Live device that will granulate incoming audio along some fairly simple lines.
• GranularSynth uses the buffer version of this as it's core.
