The Mellotron Group

dunno... The app I'm using, Steinberg Padshop Pro, seems pretty efficient.  I ran four instances of it on my 2009 MacPro 8 core and it didn't flinch.

That must take an incredible amount of processor power to get the most out of it.

from Wikipedia, "It   is based on the same principle as sampling.   However, the samples are not played back conventionally, but are instead split   into small pieces of around 1 to 50ms. These small pieces are   called grains. Multiple grains may be layered on top of each other, and   may play at different speeds, phases, volume, and   frequency."

The high end   granular synths split sound up even smaller than 1 ms.

OK, I've heard of granular synthesis, but haven't got a clue what it is.   Simple explanation for we simple folks?

I finally got a piece of software that does a very musical job   of granular synthesis. So, I took elements from the first 15 seconds of my   album and time expanded it to 3 minutes and added a few knick knacks. I think   y'all'll enjoy it. The tron sounds great slowed waayyy down. Susan's voice   sounds great too. Very ambient and trippy!
