Granular Synth
-
I have some questions about how to approach the granular module in scriptnode/develop. I have an instrument with three samplers which load a number of sample maps. I am hoping to mirror those samplers with a granular synth but am unable to create more than one granular scriptFX without blowing out my left audio channel. Is it possible to dynamically change sample maps? Are there plans to make the module a "scriptnode synthesizer"? Should I hold off for a while until we are closer to Hise 3.0 to be messing with any of this?

I fear you might have to have a look at the source code and check the granulator module. I get good results with and AHDSR attached. But as soon as I hit multiple keys etc. it starts getting crackling. To mess around with a granular engine on an audio level is no stroll in the park either, I suppose… At least not for me...
2 great books I am “reading” atm, that I can recommend...

@Christoph-Hart Are there any plans to implement the scriptnode granular module as a scriptnode synthesizer?

I think you're right. Maybe it is time to get my hands dirty and try and learn C++/Juce. I was hoping to release the project I've been working on by the fall but I don't think that is going to happen.

@crd The granular node is not a polyphonic node, so you can't use it in a scriptnode synthesizer.
But why don't you add it as scriptFX to the master chain? You won't get any extra functionality out of it by adding it to a polyphonic network.

@Christoph-Hart That works great! Now if I wanted to make some changes to that node, the only way is to get into the source code, right? Or can I edit that node in SNEX workbench somehow?

@Christoph-Hart I'll give it a shot as a top level scriptFX. I am building the latest version of the develop branch and will let you know how it goes. (Effectively I don't think that is much different from where I had it placed in my script which was in it's own container beneath the top level.) For some reason, the granular node will work for a while and they start sending a lot of what looks like DC's noise that mutes my audio chain.
I was hoping to use it as a scriptnode synthesizer so I could use the same modules(filter, gain env, fx sends etc) I used in other places in my plugin. I suppose I could just build them within the scriptFX? My main issues (besides when it blows up my audio) is how do you dynamically change sample maps? Is there a way to change sample maps outside of the SNEX? Should I have a scriptFX for every sample map I want available?

Two script nodes routed to there own simple gains worked. Three created the same problem I've been having. Here is a quick video of what I'm getting. (WARNING: turn your audio down or off before you watch this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b1spy1bq6axa0cb/granular_test.mov?dl=0 )

@Christoph-Hart Sorry to be a broken record, but any idea what I am doing that is causing this?

@Christoph-Hart Any guidance about how to use the granular node in a project?
I've also been working with a timer/midi script solution which sounds good but I think will always be to inefficient to use in the end.

I don‘t recommend using the granular synth at the moment - it‘s still in prototyping stage and it will most likely be redesigned in the foreseeable future.
Also I think I will include it as example for SNEX and remove it from the HISE codebase so people can make their adjustments and use their own version.

@Christoph-Hart
Got it. Thanks! -
@Christoph-Hart Is there a way to use the granulator node polyphonically in scriptnode?? It has been improved upon quite a bit since the last time I checked!
