Hi Sarah,

regarding your granular synthesis programs post on music-dsp....

My Windows Shareware program AudioMulch (www.audiomulch.com) has two
real-time granular synthesis modules, one is an emulation of Curtis 
Roads
"Cloud Generator" the other is loosley based on Barry Truax's work in 
the
field and more strongly derivitave of my earlier "overSYTE" real-time
granulator for the macintosh (which is free and I believe accessable 
via
Tom Erbe's CompMusicMac links page.) With either program you can 
granulate
a soundfile or a real-time sound source.

I have been designing and performing with real-time granulators for a 
few
years now... the AudioMulch granulators are flexible and allow a high
degree of control. One feature I have implemented which is not 
generally
seen in granulators is the ability to quantize the grain stream to 
various
subdivisions of a global pulse. The quantisation may be varied from 
none
(random event distribution) to full (all grains fall exactly on the
pulse). AudioMulch 0.8b1 will be available from the web site in the 
next
day or two and includes midi sync, hence quantised granulators could 
be
synced with a midi sequencer or other clock source.

Best Regards,

Ross.

The first program I ever worked with was GranuLab, a shareware 
program for
Windows 95/98.  It can be downloaded from

http://hem.passagen.se/rasmuse/Granny.htm

A really cool looking program is Stampede II, for the SGI.  It has 
lots of
different modes of operation, including pitch-synchronous granular
synthesis. It can be downloaded from

http://www.kgw.tu-berlin.de/~gb/stampede.html

No Windows, Linux, or Mac versions, but there is a note on the page 
to the
effect that the functionality of Stampede II will soon be available in
Native Instruments Generator program, which would be cool.

I am happy to announce a new version of GrainWave for those of you 
who use
Mac PPC's.  Among other new features, it now has a text-based 
instrument
definition language.  You can check it out at:

http://www.nmol.com/users/mikeb/grainw.htm

 GrainWave is a real-time software synthesis and DSP engine for 
PowerMacs.
  It
has an open architecture and very small output latencies (~10 ms).  
It can
run underneath other MIDI applications (like MAX or a sequencer) and
receive input from them.  It can also process your computer's real-
time
audio input. GrainWave does not require any specialized audio 
hardware.
 GrainWave has a plug-in architecture which allows users to design 
their
 own
DSP algorithms in C and run them with the GrainWave engine.  The
easy-to-use SDK is available at the above-mentioned website. -- Mike

Csound also has some granular capability .  url see up .

Hope this helps .

Cheers


Keep 'em oscillating :)
