Great sets of examples here - not even close to revealing them all. So many options, and so many ways to make your own patterns by messing with the phrases AND turning on/off the various playheads. A really beautiful instrument and well-represented by @ArturRembe

I haven’t tried all of the options yet. But when I loaded the one sample in at the beginning, it produced nice sounds, so I recorded it straight away.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that and prefer the sound of the random lfo retriggering, but, to each their own!

Nice one! Thanks for posting up video of this. I didn’t watch the whole thing, so maybe you already tried this, but I would encourage you to get into the edit screen for individual phrases and try muting and unmuting the various playhead’s note-columns. The instrument behaves very differently depending on which playheads are enabled. It’s also possible to write your own playhead patterns for specific behaviours

definitely do. it changes things considerably 
glad to see this getting used!
I’ve updated the instrument slightly… grain decay and release have been merged for more intuitive behavior, and a new control, “grain shape” has been added that alters the attack and decay scaling curves from a very short, narrow, steep “peak” for each grain, passing through a triangular amplitude envelope, to a broad, flat rounded square shape. this offers more expressive control of the grains, imo.

Yep, I was going to start looking into that for myself - very good idea!

New version of the instrument with “swarming” playheads. Pretty much everything is the same, except there is now more random jitter to the position of the playheads as they scrub across the sample, and all 3 start to end playheads are enabled by default.
Again, individual playheads can be enabled or disabled for each phrase, but must be done so manually in the phrase editor.
Enjoy!

this is so nice. Thank you for the effort. I had some fun with the phrase shuffle for different flavors, too.

Ah, nice. That’s a great idea… I’ll have to try it!

with high LPB it has kind of a phasing effect, at very low speeds with randomized Y values it becomes …something… especially if you have 2 different granular_instruments running “against” each other. I wish I could acess more values externally.
Anyway, this is really great. I had a lot of fun piping drumloops and voicesamples through it and playing with the phrases. Changing the probabilities and adding up, down, arpeggio, vibrato FX etc. so cool

Glad if you’re getting some good use out of the concept! I’ll have to try some of your ideas regarding track fx. I bet it changes the sound in interesting ways
