Grain Storm

Grain Storm is a granular exploration device built with gen~ in Max4Live. I've wanted to explore the world of granular for a long time and this is my first of likely many of such devices. While there are many granular devices out there in the world, I've tried to take the tried and true guts of granular and inject something of my own vibe into it here.  I've developed some interesting ways to scrub very slowly (or very quickly) through a piece of audio (great for PaulXStretch type ambient explorations), as well as ways to turn a granular drone into something more percussive via three dials (Decay, Ramp and S&H).  I've also added a very dreamy and freezable reverb for instant ambient bliss, a one-pole filter for quick smoothing of harsh grains and, if you're familiar with some of my past devices, you'll recognize the Magic panel.  This is my own take on a multi-effects section -  ear candy.  Seven artisanal effects, each which react differently to the Magic Amount dial, just something to hopefully inspire and take your audio into new territories.  We've got some lush chorus, an aggressive tremolo, a haas widener, and then some more esoteric combinations like a glitchy phased delay, a stuttering vibrato, etc.
