Abstract:

Granular Synthesis has found to be a particularly rich framework to synthesize varieties of different sound colours and textures. Our goal at GMEM is to design and develop a flexible environment, called “GMU” (for GMEM MicrosoundUniverse), dedicated to this synthesismethod including analysis, transformations and synthesis algorithm. The proposal of intuitive control strategies is also an important part of the project. This paper will focus on the synthesis tool written for the Max/MSP Graphical Programming Environment and will present several applications.
