Another Rudimentary Granular Effect

Updated the instrument a bit:

  • Added another phrase column (4) to act in reverse of (3). Not sure if it’s doing much, but what the heck!
  • Added Filter Cutoff, Resonance
  • Added Random Panning
  • Added Convolution Reverb “Amount”

What this instrument can’t seem to do is adjust LPB within the Phrases, which would make it truly granular - adjusting grain speed would create a greater amount of grains played back within the same amount of time. Because we have adjustable Decay/Release we have a nice ‘smear’ effect, and the random Panning and Convolution Reverb will add a nice amount of ‘space’ to it.
