Density Granular Synthesis

Density is a new interactive real-time program for asynchronous granular synthesis LIVE and sound file granulation, to generate a wide range of effects: time/pitch shifting, pitch disintegration, time jittering, sound pulverizer, scrub pad exploration, dynamic envelope drawing etc… Interpolation- transitions and Hyper Vectorials pads, provide a powerful way to generate incredible sound objects. All parameters are controllable via MIDI learning/rescale and OSC network.
