Favorite granular effect?

i am a granular addict, which does not mean i have all the granular synths and/or effects (some can do both...), for granulars i don't get what is interesting about them, even after demoing them, and then i ask, sometimes, what is the attraction? i got a long time ago an answer about Granite (a synth), so now i can get why it is an interesting granular, still not for me, and no doubt; a great granular.
so what is the attraction of Portal, i never get it. (of course this is personal, i make no general statements...)

Granite sounds rough and unpolished, not my favorite granular synth out there, i think what is so appealing to me is that granular sound is very textured and moving in a way, non static and interesting, for me that is the reason why i love granular.WasteLand wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 1:15 pm i am a granular addict, which does not mean i have all the granular synths and/or effects (some can do both...), for granulars i don't get what is interesting about them, even after demoing them, and then i ask, sometimes, what is the attraction? i got a long time ago an answer about Granite (a synth), so now i can get why it is an interesting granular, still not for me, and no doubt; a great granular.

Padshop took me by surprise. I'd heard of it for years but was never interested as my focus back then was rock, pop, reggae and ska. When I became an ambient musician, I still didn't demo Padshop because I had this silly notion that Steinberg would've put all their energy into developing Cubase and Nuendo and their other products would be inferior. When I did decide to give Padshop a looksee, I was floored. It's so full-featured and smooth sounding. Heretofore, some of the granular VST's I'd encountered were much more grainy, but Padshop's delicious textures are just what the doctor ordered.
If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit.

Delta Sound Labs Stream... is it an effect? is it an instrument? is it both?

Also, the Puremagnetik effects do not sound all the same to me... they are all quite different, experimental effects. I've been collecting them when they go on sale usually purchasing along with their latest record release. a full album and a plugin for $3!

I never understood why this didn't blow up...such a fast and intuitive workflow...it's like a mini workstation...if this had of kept being developed with a different synthesis method in every joystick...you already have granular and PM....the way it records gestures from the mouse and replays them,...such a fun an intuitive way to interact with the play-head and deterministically "play" your sound designkillmaster wrote: ↑Thu Jun 16, 2022 1:02 am I personally love this instrument Vectorspace.

Yes, totally agree with this! It really feels like a self contained playable instrument in it's own right.bermudagold wrote: ↑Thu Jun 16, 2022 1:18 amI never understood why this didn't blow up...such a fast and intuitive workflow...it's like a mini workstation...if this had of kept being developed with a different synthesis method in every joystick...you already have granular and PM....the way it records gestures from the mouse and replays them,...such a fun an intuitive way to interact with the play-head and deterministically "play" your sound designkillmaster wrote: ↑Thu Jun 16, 2022 1:02 am I personally love this instrument Vectorspace.

I did this song with it: https://soundcloud.com/ret-sam-llik/sha ... al_sharing
But it's capable of so much variety so I hesitate to send a small example.

The new one is actually quite different to the older ones. Can recommend this, as it is pretty smooth and also unique. And like Plexuss said, $3 for an Ambient Album plus the Device, which was also used on that Album.plexuss wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 10:15 pm Delta Sound Labs Stream... is it an effect? is it an instrument? is it both?

Like it a lot, as same as the other stuff from Imaginando. Just make sure to test it on your system first, if the GUI is big enough to work with.

i had forgotten to post a reaction.... i think you react, add something about Granite, i think i remember that also, that the envelopes?? i don't know, but the main attraction; the 'gestures'.martiu wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 8:19 pmGranite sounds rough and unpolished, not my favorite granular synth out there, i think what is so appealing to me is that granular sound is very textured and moving in a way, non static and interesting, for me that is the reason why i love granular.WasteLand wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 1:15 pm i am a granular addict, which does not mean i have all the granular synths and/or effects (some can do both...), for granulars i don't get what is interesting about them, even after demoing them, and then i ask, sometimes, what is the attraction? i got a long time ago an answer about Granite (a synth), so now i can get why it is an interesting granular, still not for me, and no doubt; a great granular.

well. that can be done in other ways. of course personal.
you describe one of the main attractions (...) of granular very well. or is it the main attaction?
granular can do a lot of 'stuff'.. well, i work quite ad hoc, to remember all the things i did with granular synths or effects... and well, not all original, me think, but work 'original'..., do always my own presets.
i don't quite understand how presets can work, especially with granular effects, it does so much depend on the source. but again personal, perhaps...
in a granular synth i can understand it, but, then; well i want to use my own samples (sometimes made with granular synths, and again through another one... well, so many roads... paths, hills, etc...).
