Granular Synthesis Now Possible with Granulator!

Post by fuzion_mixer »

I present to you: Granulator

Yes, you read that right! After a week of working and gathering feedback from NeuroNoNeuro, I'm proud to say that Granulator is one of many steps to bringing granular synthesis to SunVox!

Granulator is an input-based audio granulator (as opposed to output-based) that allows control over a single voice. You can run more than one of these to a Sampler / Vorbis Player for x polyphony whilst retaining control over their individual granularity.

- Controllers -
06: Trigger Configuration (pi / ve / ph / pi+ve / pi+ph / ve+ph / all)
07: Playhead Mode (Auto / Manual)
08: Manual Playhead
09: Playhead Response
0A: Window Size
0B: Window Position
0C: Grain Size
0D: Grain Size Unit
0E: Grain Stutter
0F: Grain Jitter
10: Grain Hop Size
11: Grain Hop Position
12: Grain Hop Unit
13: Bit-Splitter
14: Downsampler
15: Pitch Center (1 semitone = 273.07)
16: Pitch Warp
17: Pitch Warp Freq
18: Pitch Warp Waveform
19: Pitch Warp Unit
1A: Pitch Warp Duty Cycle
1B: Velocity Center
1C: Velocity Warp
1D: Velocity Warp Freq
1E: Velocity Warp Waveform
1F: Velocity Warp Unit
20: Velocity Warp Duty Cycle

- Additional Controllers -
Module 2E, Controller 04: 44.1kHz / 48kHz Toggle

- Limitations -
- Grain Stutter & Duty Cycle controllers produce clicks even when set all the way
to 0 or 256
- Panning, as well as Panning Warp, can't be implemented due to the MultiSynth
and Ctl2Note not having the relevant parameters
- Maximum number of controllers (27) have been met, thus can't include every adjustable parameter in the module
- All Freq values do not update in real time when switching Units, requiring Edit
and Back to update
- Sample polyphony algorithm amplifies clicks and creates offset duplicates when set to >1 Polyphony

Here's a showcase of what it's capable of doing:
