What is it?
Its a sampling technuiqe that splits up sampler into grains. Which are typically 5 to 200 miliseconds, you can sythasise new sounds.
The idea behind granular synthesis dates all the way back to 1946, when Hungarian-British engineer and physicist Dennis Gabor conceptualized the idea that you could create new sounds out of microsound particles.
Heres a sample I have brefore I used Abletons Granular 3 plug in.
And heres the same sample after I tweaked the audio with granular sythasis.
You can clearly notice the difference of granular engineering as the sample get broken up into smaller individual parts and put back together again.
