Legendary Sound I Learned From Flume

[@hHushProject]

I first learned about granular synthesis about 8 months ago and it is easily my favorite sound design technique to mess around with.

[@o_o8684]

what plugins would you recommend? Any free options?

[@hHushProject]

@@o_o8684 depends, sometime I use fruity granulizer and sometime I use Quanta. They both work very differently and I use them for different things. Oversampled made a really good video about Quanta, so I recommend checking that out if you want to see how that works

Flume always starts a trend! Such an innovator

[@1998Cebola]

You're mixing up trendsetter and innovator. This technology has been around for a long time, and this is the most basic (not using that derogatory, I LOVE Flume) way to use it.

[@tallindeed1330]

@@1998Cebola You are right! I see your point. I know granular synthesis has been out there for a while. Each artist has a unique way of using it. Powerful tool especially if you are feeling lazy.

Learned about granular synthesis a long time ago, just jnterested in flume. Im an FL user, and it comes with a native grainulizer called fruity grainulizer. I really wish it was loadable in patcher :'( but unfortunately its not.

[@JondiOfLooq]

This is great, used in a track today. For Cubase users use C4 to play orig pitch. Love your channel.

[@BoosGunn]

Have you tried portal by output for granular stuff? I think they have a rent to own, and I’ve been meaning to get a granular plug-in for a while, but want to make sure the one I get is good before buying

[@1998Cebola]

Portal is a granular FX plug-in, works differently than a granular synth

Just found out FL have a granular synth got some wierd sounds from it. Can you layer parts of a song with your main song if you remove automation? Maybe it works to get some extra energy during buldups but not sure if it would sound any good :P Your shirt is amazing!

Pigments is not a granular synth per se but rather power synth so do not compare it to quanta it is not just. Pigments is the best value/ capabilities overall powersynth maybe pigments and phaseplant since it got recently granular engine.

Can't you do this without having to use the expensive software? can't you just put simpler on a tight loop with some reverb for the same effect?

No, granular synthesis uses variations in the loop, so not every loop is the same size or start point.

[@drum877]

It just chops the sample and repeats it very fast. And you pick how fast and how short the chops are. When you play something that fast and add reverb it make it sound like a solid sound.

for fl studio there is fruity granulizer

[@triplebeam23]

You can automate with a lfo wouldn't that be easier then doing in the track itself

[@zkdontplay]

nice vid

[@dallasbolton]

Wait so is everything in the key of C then? Or the key of whatever sample you put into the granulator?

[@1998Cebola]

C3 makes it play back in the original pitch at the original speed

[@AlexRome]

You have to keep everything in the same key. I failed to mention this. My vocal sample as in the same key as my song. This is why I wrote the sample in C3 which will play back your sample in the key it original is in. If your song is in C or any other key, make sure the samples you’re granulating are in that same key.
