Overview of Granular Synthesis
For most, granular synthesis is a mysterious yet versatile technique. While some may find it fathomable, it remains an inexhaustible tool that yields complex timbres and rhythms. Although it has been around for decades, people have found new ways to use it for real-time effects and sound design.
This talk will review its history, delve into intricate details of its implementations and applications in simple pitch-shifting and time-stretching algorithms. The talk will serve as a survey of topics related to granular synthesis and, hopefully, provide a comprehensive resource on the topic for people trying to use or build granular tools.
