Description
Oi, Grandad! is a 4-voice granular synthesizer built using the HISE development environment.
Each voice in the synthesizer can host a .wav or .aif audio file, allowing for extensive real-time manipulation.
The plugin includes granular controls such as position, grain, density, detune, spread, and pitch.
Each voice is equipped with a dedicated filter, amp envelope, and delay processor.
The synthesizer also features 12 independently triggered complex modulation sources.
A drone button is available for sustained playback, making it ideal for creating ambient soundscapes.
The plugin supports crossfade and round-robin modes for more dynamic sound creation.
It is designed to be used in various digital audio workstations (DAWs) and supports VST3 and AU formats.
Tips
- Use longer samples (3 seconds or more) to avoid crashes and audio dropouts.
- Experiment with the drone button to create sustained ambient textures.
- Utilize the 12 modulation sequencers to add movement and complexity to your sounds.
- Adjust the buffer size to 512 or higher in Logic Pro to prevent glitchy playback.
- Explore the crossfade and round-robin modes for more dynamic and evolving sounds.
- Take advantage of the open-source nature of the plugin to customize and tweak it to your needs.
- Use the dedicated filter and amp envelope per voice to shape your sounds precisely.
- Combine different granular parameters like density, spread, and detune for unique soundscapes.
