[I haven't given Granite a go yet as their website was down when I tried to get the demo.] I don't think there is any need to go too deep into a programming language at this point since their are tools that do it for you (albeit that cost $200).
[I read a BT interview where he was talking about nano-quantizing the sound of scuba tank bubbles and how he was going to write a book about it. Personally I can't STAND the sound of unquantitized bubbles. There were some birds outside of my window the other day chirping out of time in some psuedo-polyrhythmic jibber-jabber and I seriously had to put in ear plugs.] |
Yep, the 'running free' Issue is the exact problem I'm getting, changes made to a file using granular synthesis cause it to go out of time due to the changing parameters. What would be the component that is causing everything to go out of time? Is it grain size that's causing it? I have a feeling if I can sync what ever parameter is causing the timing problems to the track tempo than everything will work out nicely.
Just adding on here. Everyone who has been kind enough to help me this is exactly what I'm talking about ^ Syncing the out of time granulation to the tempo of the project (I actually understand what I'm trying to accomplish now lol) Anyone else want to chime in with some nifty ways to do this?
