Granular Synthesis Assignment

  1. Granular synthesis allows for the production of a wide range of sound. Splitting apart a sound into many pieces can reveal aspects of a sound that are not apparent when observed holistically. Granular synthesis is faster compared to some manual techniques. In terms of cons, granular synthesis can cause odd warping properties to signals when altering time length. Pitch shifting can also have these residual effects.
  2. In this project, I used the Hadron module to process the bell halves signal. Certain parts are cut and looped. These serve as background noise that fills the space.
