Model:Samples - Granular

This video is a tutorial about granular synthesis on the Elektron Model:Samples. I focus on a specific type of granular synthesis that is characterized as "quasi-synchronous granular synthesis". The Model:Samples has a lot of nice features for this (see a demonstration of the method at the end of the video). I think some sort of stereo speakers or headphones at a comfortable volume would probably be a good move.

TIMELINE

00:00 craft time!

00:35 ASMR (see links below)

01:10 some work on the Digitakt

01:40 quasi-synchronous granular synthesis (example)

02:05 resources (see links below)

02:50 working on grains in Audacity (see link below)

04:20 skip ahead to 09:00 if you just want the hands-on part

06:05 first grain

06:25 using the looped play feature in Audacity for synchronous granular
(note: don't fret over the sound quality here, i just used Audacity straight into OBSS for simplicity...)

08:00 the set of grains

09:00 transferring to the Model:Samples

09:45 setting up the sound

10:50 now synchronous on the device itself

11:50 a word of caution... (also, fyi I ended up boosting the delay feedback a little more for the last part of this video)

12:50 using the LFO for quasi-synchronous

13:30 3-track scheme T1(left), T2(center), T3(right)

13:50 trig-locking the sounds for variety (Track 1)

17:00 Fast-Forward setup for Track 2 and Track 3 trigs

17:45 other hits (pads 4, 5, and 6), and using retrigger

18:50 performance ideas

19:15 outro

19:40 TAKING IT FOR A SPIN
