Working on a granular effect: how to make it polyphonic?

[marcrex]

Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a granular effect inspired by the plugin Portal by Output. I have a Sampler with multiple sample maps, and I’d like the granulator to act directly on what I’m playing in real-time.

I’ve managed to make it work in monophonic mode, but I can’t figure out how to make it polyphonic. Any advice on how to achieve this or on the best approach?

Thanks a lot!

The granulator is a sound generator, it has no effect on incoming signals. For that kind of thing, best look to FAUST.

To get the Scriptnode Granulator playing polyphonically, you have two options.

1. Increasing the density and reducing grain size will allow you to play chords, keep in mind though, anything after the granulator will still be monophonic.

2. For true polyphony, implement multiple granulators in different groups, one for each voice of polyphony. Then use a round robin script to handle the voice allocation.
