java.lang.Object

com.jsyn.unitgen.UnitGenerator

com.jsyn.unitgen.GrainFarm

All Implemented Interfaces:

UnitSource

Direct Known Subclasses:

SampleGrainFarm

public class GrainFarm
extends UnitGenerator
implements UnitSource

A unit generator that generates a cloud of sound using multiple Grains. Special thanks to my friend Ross Bencina for his excellent article on Granular Synthesis. Several of his ideas are reflected in this architecture. "Implementing Real-Time Granular Synthesis" by Ross Bencina, Audio Anecdotes III, 2001.

   synth.add( sampleGrainFarm = new GrainFarm() );
   grainFarm.allocate( NUM_GRAINS );
