When it was first introduced, it was incredibly CPU heavy and confined to offline processing only. Now we have incredibly quick processing speeds which allow us to run complex plugins and virtual instruments almost seamlessly. Meaning, we can take advantage of granular synthesis whether we&#8217;re aware of it or not!<\/p>\n<p>Most commonly, you&#8217;ll find granular synthesis in pitch correction or speed manipulation software like Auto-Tune or Melodyne, which many of use all the time.<\/p>\n<p>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-stereo-imaging-plugins\/\">Best Stereo Imaging Plugins<\/a><br \/>\nSEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/what-is-stereo-imaging\/\">What Is Stereo Imaging<\/a><br \/>\nSEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/what-is-phantom-power\/\">What Is Phantom Power<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>What is Granular Synthesis?<\/h4>\n<p>In short, it&#8217;s a method of sound synthesis operating on the &#8220;microsound&#8221; scale. Microsounds are those which are longer than musical notes and shorter than samples&#8212;each piece is somewhere between 1 and 50 ms long.<\/p>\n<p>Granular synthesis is based on the same principles as sampling, but instead of playing back samples regularly, it chops them up into what are referred to as &#8220;grains.&#8221; These grains, we mentioned, are anywhere between 1 and 50 ms in length, and can be manipulated by a number of parameters. For example, grains can be layered on top of one another, or played at different speeds, phases, frequencies, and levels.<\/p>\n<p>When you alter the various parameters of grains, you can create a huge number of different sounds. Playback speed is also a crucial factor, with lower ones resulting in a kind of soundscape, and higher ones creating audible pitches with an unusual timbre.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_41958\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41958\" style=\"width: 585px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41958 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"376\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2.png 585w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2-80x51.png 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2-320x206.png 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2-264x170.png 264w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2-233x150.png 233w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2-40x26.png 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2-160x103.png 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2-20x13.png 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2-529x340.png 529w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2-16x10.png 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2-467x300.png 467w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2-14x9.png 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Understanding-Granular-Synthesis_2-385x247.png 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41958\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pitch correction software like Auto-Tune uses granular synthesis.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h5>Grains<\/h5>\n<p>A grain, as we&#8217;ve introduced, is a tiny chunk of sound, somewhere between 1 and 50 ms long, though other sources have described it as having a duration of 10-50 or 1-100 ms. Grains can be further broken down into its constituent parts; namely, the envelope and the &#8220;content.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A grain&#8217;s envelope is manipulated to ensure there are no clicks, pops, crunches, distortion, or other unpleasant artifacts at the beginning and end of the sample.<\/p>\n<p>A grain&#8217;s &#8220;content&#8221; can simply be described as audio, which is derived from any source, whether it be a sine wave, square wave, audio sample, or anything else.<\/p>\n<h5>Wavelet Synthesis: Similar But Different!<\/h5>\n<p>Wavelet synthesis is related to granular synthesis, though it&#8217;s a bit more precise in definition and principle, and more restrictive in practice.\u00a0Wavelet synthesis is optimized for &#8220;better&#8221;

Each of these parts is called a &#8220;grain,&#8221; anywhere between 1 and 100 ms long. Every grain has its own set of parameters, including frequency, speed, envelope, and level.<\/p>\n<p>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/fm-synthesis-the-classic-synthesizer-sound\/\">HOW FM SYNTHESIS WORKS<\/a><br \/>\nSEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/drum-loops\/\">Best Resources for Drum Loops in 2021<\/a><br \/>\nSEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/monitor-isolation-pads\/\">Monitor Isolation Pads | Home Studio Accessories<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Grains can be layered on top of one another, or played back together at different speeds, levels, frequencies, and the like. When used musically and at slower playback speeds, granular synthesis typically creates a soundscape that many users have referred to as a &#8220;cloud&#8221; of sound. At higher playback speeds, pitches with strange timbres are determinable.<\/p>\n<p>A variety of plugins, virtual instruments, and DAW functions all make use of the granular synthesis principle. Common ones are pitch correction\/manipulation software like Auto-Tune and Melodyne, and DAW functions that manipulate time\/speed, such as Elastic Audio in Pro Tools or Tempo Warping in Ableton.<\/p>\n<h5>Resources<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Granular_synthesis\">Wikipedia &#8211; &#8220;Granular Synthesis&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/granularsynthesis.com\/guide.php\">A Granular Synthesis Resource Web Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theproaudiofiles.com\/granular-synthesis\/\">The Pro Audio Files<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Granular synthesis is the operative force behind many plugins and DAW functions we use all the time.
