granular synths make fucking mental sounds, as i found out
wen i searched for "free granular synth" and was able to
download a wicked one (made by granulab) in 100k!

anyway this is the synth Ae use LOADS for their sound, and i
did my homework on it. This guy called Curtis Roads
basically wrote the programs for it in the 80s, based on
theory from the 40s!

his website is: http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/~clang/

now what pisses me off is that he was at ATP, and on the
radio 3 show 'mixing it' that had highlights, they were
interviewing him. Apart from going about abouit granny
synths, he talked about new creations like 'pulse
systhesis', and said that: "5 mins ago i just gave sean my
new program for this new instrument" !!!

no wonder Ae are so ahead!!! they have the tools! c*nts

on his website he has some free programs for download he
made, but are for bastard macs only.

interesting, non?

if someone has mac please download em and tell me if they
any good, worth buying a mac for? lol

i cant use it as such, i just mess about
the travelizer is the most impressive, you load a sample in
and then mess about using two x/y controllers, messed up
timestrech and stuff, i dont even know what im looking at
when im playing with it but it sounds wicked
