Mayank Sanganeria has released a free iOS application for granular audio manipulation, GrainProc:
GrainProc provides an expressive control surface for granular manipulation of real-time audio input, well-suited for sonic sculpting and self-accompaniment of of guitar, voice, etc. Designed for quick control with fingers.
The app was a collaboration between Sanganeria & Kurt James Werner.
GrainProc is designed primarily as a live audio mangler, as demonstrated in this video:
The piece, Shimmering Horizons, is created from fragmented, temporally manipulated, and reconstructed sonic material (plucks, strums, and less typical excitations).
GrainProc is a free download from the App Store.
it smells
iOS 6 or later required. My iPad1 is out of the list. Shame, it is rare to see free apps coming to iOS.
iOS 5 support added. Do check it out and report if it works well or has performance issues. Thanks.
only ios6? this is becoming more common. my ipad doesn’t like the trend.
But Marvel, your iPad is a trend
Exactly, ipad1 owners like me are screwed until we buy another ipad. A majority of apps will be IOS6 only eventually.
Stop updating seems to be the only solution.
Hey Guys,
This was a joint project with Kurt James Werner (http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~kwerner/)
Thanks for the interest! Feedback is much appreciated!
Cheers
Mayank
Thanks for the feedback. I updated the post with this info!
I love it whenever a new granular synth comes out 🙂 And this seems like an effective little app. I like the you work the grain size. A delay would be great on it, but hey; thats just a small wish. I love delay:)
Great app Mayank:)
Yes! This is what I liked the most about this App. The way you set the grain size is dead simple 🙂
Cool! Thanks for posting. I guess I’ll have to update my iPad to iOS 6 soon… (hmmm). OK. 🙂
iOS 5 support added. Do check it out and report if it works well or has performance issues. Thanks for the support.
