Tim Webb takes a look at Grain Science, a new software synth for the iPad from Wooji Juice.
Grain Science is easy to get to grips with, but offers lots of depth to explore: instead of offering one or two LFOs, almost any parameter in the system can be programmed to vary over time in complex ways.
Grain Science offers two grain units per voice, which you can combine for morphing or complex modulated sounds, then send through a configurable FX chain. Pick any 4 from the collection of FX units (including various types of distortion, high- and low-pass filters, phaser, resonance and echo), and connect them up in any order.
Other audio tweaks include soft loop, reverb, glide and supercharger controls, and the ability to affect granular synthesis in realtime (live grainbending).
Also featured are an arpeggiator with both chord and step-sequence modes; Core MIDI support, including “tap & twist” learning for setting up controls; and a customisable performance screen with a collection of XY Pads and wheels.
Grain Science is $9.99 in the App Store.
ow, my head nearly melted trying to make sense of that spam.
Thanks for the helpful information! You’ve got a superb web page right here, so I am bookmarking it and I will without a doubt revisit and look at a lot more.
