Hi
tell me plz - are there modules for gralular synthesis in a cwmodular?

What you want is Adern's FleXor

Check the 'Modules' page and you'll find:

• Granular
• Displacer
• Regroover
• Granular sequencer
• Pitcher Control
• Pitcher engine
• Pitcher engine fb

Not necessarily granular in the same sense as Reason's Maelstrom or certain csound cloud-synthesis algorithms but nonetheless offers up VERY interesting possibilities for Mod II/III users.

thanx a lot! gonna buy this great.
any ideas about fullability granular synhtesis? maybe hardware or software? very important for mre

The Adern granular objects are 'full ability' for what they offer. However the term 'granular' when used in a sound-design sense still applies to many different algorithms and processes.

The main limitation to doing anything (including granular synthesis) on Mod II/III or even the full Scope platform is the PCI card's limited access to main system ram. This means that direct-from-disk streaming samplers and massive wavetable-based calculations (be they convolution, granular, fft/stft or whatever) are going to do better in native software or on a dsp system that has a built in RAM pool.

The real question though is what are YOU looking to do? Describe and/or provide examples and the modular experts here can surely help you figure out how to implement it in Mod II/III (or some variation of it at least).

thanx for so word for word answer..
i think i meaned thats beutiful sounds like reason malstrom makes,effects on voices like in a "matrix" movie when Neo takes a pill u remember?. I have some vst plugins doing something like this.Heizerbox VST and Granulab.They are great but imho they do a bad changes with the audio and very uncomfortable to use.THats why i want to know
what the best way to make experiments like thats.I have CW scope synths (no flexor yet) and G2 modular.
