Overview of Granular Synthesis
For most, granular synthesis is a mysterious yet prolific technique, whereas some may find it fathomable, it remains an inexhaustible tool that yields complex timbres and rhythms. Even though it has been around for decades, people have found new ways to use it for real time granular effects.
This talk will review its history, delve into intricate details of its implementations and its 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.
