Zephod & Thevider VKR granular

Copyright 2000 Zephod & Thevider
 
Introduction
 
This machine is based on the principles of granular synthesis. Granular synthesis simply chops a sample in to little bits, and rearranges the bits realtime. When you choose proper rearrangements you can do anything with the sound you want: play it backward, timestretch it, pitchshift it, etc.

If you really like this machine, or use it in a commercial production (eg: you make money with it), please send the author a donation. A donation can be anything, ranging from a postcard to computer hardware, or maybe even money. Remember: even machinedevelopers need to eat sometimes :-)
 
Features
 
  • Realtime generation of grains from any sample of the wavetable
  • Multiple tracks
  • Pitchshifting
  • Timestretching
  • Sample offset
Basic Usage
 
Step 1: load a sample in your wavetable.
Step 2: make a pattern for the VKR, and choose your wave in the 'wave' column.
Step 3: enter some notes, and add the pattern to the seq. editor.
Step 4: hit play and play with the sliders!
 
Advanced usage
 
There are some notes:
1. The Grainspace value can couse clicks when set too low. This is -not- a bug, but the envelope between the grains is too fast to be smooth then.
2. The same for really short grainlengths.
3. The attack value is the amount of time to get to full volume from the current volume.
4. The decay value is the amount of time to go from the current volume to 0 -after a note-off-
