Granular synthesis with sine tones

Class Methods

GrainSin.ar(numChannels: 1, trigger: 0, dur: 1, freq: 440, pan: 0, envbufnum: -1, maxGrains: 512, mul: 1, add: 0)

Arguments:

numChannels

the number of channels to output. If 1, mono is returned and pan is ignored.

trigger

a kr or ar trigger to start a new grain. If ar, grains after the start of the synth are sample accurate.

dur

size of the grain (in seconds).

freq

the input to granulate

pan

determines where to pan the output.

  • If numChannels = 1, no panning is done.
  • If numChannels = 2, panning is similar to Pan2.
  • If numChannels > 2, pannins is the same as PanAz.
envbufnum

the buffer number containing a signal to use for the grain envelope. -1 uses a built-in Hann envelope.

maxGrains

the maximum number of overlapping grains that can be used at a given time. This value is set at the UGens init time and can't be modified. Defaults to 512. This can be set lower for more efficient use of memory.

WARNING: The above parameter is new (post SC 3.3.1) and has the potential to break code written <= 3.3.1. This parameter is BEFORE the mul slot, and you may need to update code to account for this difference.
mul
add

Discussion:

All args except numChannels and trigger are polled at grain creation time.
