--> I was looking at the squarepusher interviews that some one linked, and there was a section where ol SP was bragging about being able to get granular synthesis out of some boss drum sampler.


I was trying to figure out how he did this, and I think taht I know how. I'm new to granular synthesis, so correct me if this does not qualify. It seems to me that the only way you could do granular shtuff on a unit like that would be if you sequenced a very fast roll on a particular sample, and adjusted the starting point during playback.

I tried it with the simpler in Ableton, and it yeilded some really cool results.

I feel like this is common knowledge, so sorry if I'm coming off as some kind of goofwad/ball. I just think it's a cool little trick.

EDIT: here is the squarepusher clips..
