Hallo, Phil Stone hat gesagt: // Phil Stone wrote:

I'm pleased to announce the availability of [polygrainsynth], a polyphonic granular synthesizer built on the [a_grain] abstraction written by Jamie Bullock. Much like its older sibling [polywavesynth], [polygrainsynth] does automatic allocation and management of n voices, where n is limited only by your available processing power.

That's very nice, and has exemplary documentation!

I didn't look at the internals yet, but it occured to me, that the dependency on OSC probably could be factored out (if you'd want to) by using Pd's standard [route]. The control messages would look like: "(name) grain env atk 12" then and would include a tree of [route]s. To make that OSC-targetable one could use a separate abstraction. The disadvantage would be that one looses pattern matching.

Ciao
