GENERATORS
Fruity Granulizer We are a toronto pest control company serving the insect extermination.

 Fruity Granulizer is a
generator plugin that utilizes the granular synthesis technology.
The source material for the Granulizer is a wave sample loaded by
the user. Granular synths split a wave sample into many small
pieces (‘grains’), which are then played back according to the
settings of the generator. The length and spacing of the grains can
also be altered to achieve different effects.
Granular synthesis can be used to stretch a wave without
altering its pitch and vice versa. It can be used to create lots of
complex special effects. Since all of the parameters are
automatable, you can even start with normal playback and then
‘morph’ to some kind of effect.

Parameters
Grains Section
- Attack wheel (ATT) - Sets the attack and decay
length of each grain (i.e. fade in/fade out time). The time is
added (twice - fade in and fade out) to the length of the
grain.
- Grain Hold wheel (HOLD) - Specifies the length
of each grain.
- Grain Spacing wheel (G.SP) - Controls the
grain spacing in playback. Turn to right for greater spacing
between played grains (slower playback). Turn to left for smaller
spacing (faster playback).
- Wave Spacing wheel (W.SP) - This parameter
controls the amount of grains generated from the wave sample. This
value ranges from -300% to 300%. Small values means more grains
generated for the wave (smaller wave spacing). Using negative
values for this property results in reversed playback of the grains
(note that it is the grain playback order that's reversed, not the
sound contained in each separate grain).
Note: If you want to achieve normal playback,
set both Grain Spacing and Wave Spacing to 100%.
Effects Section
- Stereo Separation wheel (PAN) - The more you
turn it to right, the more even grains are panned to right, and odd
ones panned to left. To disable the effect, turn the wheel maximum
to left.
- Effect Depth wheel (FX.D) - This setting
determines the amplitude of the LFO applied to the wave spacing
value. Turn to right to increase the amplitude. To turn the LFO
off, turn the wheel maximum to left.
- Effect Speed wheel (FX.S) - This wheel
determines the speed of the LFO applied to the wave spacing value.
Turning to right makes the LFO faster, while turning it to left
makes it slower.
- Randomness wheel (RAND) - Applies randomness
to grain playback. Turn the wheel to right to increase the effect.
To disable the effect, turn it maximum to left.
Transients Section
The Granulizer plugin is aware of
transients (either autodetected or processed from the sample if
slices were loaded). When a grain crosses a transient, it's aligned
to it & is set a new user-defined length. This gives better
quality when stretching certain material, like drum-loops.
- Hold - Sets the
length or transient grains.
- Switch -
OFF: Transients are disabled; USE
REGIONS: Uses the slices loaded from the sample, if any;
DETECT - Autodetects transients, even if
slice/region info is available in the sample.
Time Section
- Loop switch - When turned on, the wave
loops.
- Hold switch - While pressed, the playing
position won't change. It has the same effect as if the wave
spacing setting is set to 0% for a moment.
- Key To - Maps keys to several different
properties: Key to pitch: maps keys to pitch
(default); Key to percent: keys from C5 to C7
correspond to 0%-100% start position for the sample. For example,
to start the sample from the middle, trigger C6 key; Key to
step: keys C5 & above offset the sample start with a
step (C6 offsets 12 steps, C7 - 24 etc.); Key to
transient: keys C5 & above trigger the sample starting
from a specific slice.
- Sample Start wheel (START) - This wheel sets
the position in the sample used when playing starts. When turned
maximum to left, the sample starts playing from the beginning. Turn
the wheel to right to start playing offset inside the sample.
Notes & Tips
- Time stretching in the Sampler Settings has a special
meaning for this generator. The sample will be stretched according
to the settings, however, without altering its pitch.
