Could use some help understanding granular synthesis
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey, I’m a high school student trying to understand how to use RIBS, a free digital granular synthesizer. The developer has some videos explaining it but I’m a little stuck on how grains play back in terms of modulation.</p> <p>In ribs, the step feature seems to be what causes “movement” so to speak within a buffer.</p> <p>My impression of this is that modulating “steps” causes a grain to move within a sample—although the actually playback is still occurring and repeating within the grain. </p> <p>The “repeat” modulation effects the speed of playback within the grain.</p> <p>I’m a little confused about what’s occurring when you multiply the steps by play rate, repeat, and sample—but I’m sort of just saving that for later.</p> <p>I was just wondering if this is correct—and if it’s wrong could I please have an explanation of what is actually occurring? </p> <p>Any other info that might help me understand ribs would be greatly appreciated </p> <p>Also additional sources that might help me would be great. Thanks!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/PPIPLUP"> /u/PPIPLUP </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/myg8oq/could_use_some_help_understanding_granular/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/myg8oq/could_use_some_help_understanding_granular/">[comments]</a></span>
