Grainsampler improvements

[soundmind]

Is there any way to allow the grains samplers pos to be modulated smoothly because when modulating it with an lfo or a fader with smoothing when speed is 0%, a very loud ringing sound is heard which i am assuming is the values being "stepped" to the block rate of usine? Also if possible to implement some grain smoothing parameters like window size or shape and grain density to "smear" the grains? This would put grainsampler in a league rivaling some of the best available including those of a well known modular app that we all know. thanks

the smearing effect is inherent to the grain resampling, especially for small grains.
for low speeds, the grain is repeated shortly so the sound is distorted.
try the setting speed = 0 and grainsize= 400, you'll ear that the buffering effect disappear.

I have added a new parameter called window to set different types of shapes for grains
see http://www.sensomusic.com/wiki/doku.php ... in_sampler
It can help in some situations. but don't expect miracles....

notes that for performances reasons, the grainsize is always multiple of BlocSize (which is generally 128)

Hi,

did you plan to add different shapes in the grain module too ?

oups, I forgot but will be implemented soon.

[soundmind]

the window option is exactly what i had in mind. and thanks for the info.

I'll post some useful script for smooth joggle in sampler/grain sample in the add-on section.
very soon.
