[note: I was planning to link the Wikipedia article on grnaular synthesis to the words "granular synthesis" in the preceding sentence, but I read the article and was appalled at how wrong certain aspects of it were. See especially the part on "graintable synthesis", claiming that Propellerhead software invented it. Yeah. Plus granular synthesis is not necessarily based on sampling. If I had a Wikipedia account I would go in and edit the entry, but I don't and I'm lazy.]

Links

• granulatarize -- the little SuperCollider 'granular synthesis' app that I made years ago (but it still works!)
• ag.granular.suite -- the huge "ag.granular" max patch Bryan showed
• granjlar toolkit -- Nathan Wolek's 'granular toolkit'; a set of max patches (I mentioned this in class -- check it out if you plan to get into granular work)
• [jg.granulate~] -- a granulator max patch built by John Gibson (John is one of the main contributors to RTcmix)
• older class patches -- not sure if these are any good or not, but what the heck.
• older class patches -- ditto (continuation of previous link)
• older class link -- this one is pretty good. Check out the links, especially Barry Truax' piee Riverrun
• last year's class link -- I think this duplicates some of the links for this year.

Class Downloads

• random-fun.zip -- my (Brad's) class Max/MSP-RTcmix patches showing simple constrained randomness, along with the basic SuperCollider soundfile playing code
  
• bryans-SC3-granstuff.zip -- Bryan's SuperCollider examples showing the TGrains ugen use and the famous "babbling brook" simulation

Assignment

+ make some sound with some of this stuff! (or with what we've shown previously)
