[sdiy] Modular Granular Synthesis

[Paul Schreiber]

Demos implementing "granular synthesis" on a small MOTM system at:

http://www.synthtech.com/demo/new

Basically, you use a VCA and EG to "chop up" a simple VCO waveform at audio rates. The EG's
Attack and Release times are on the order of 2-15ms. The VCA needs pretty good CV feedthrough
rejection or you get "thumps".

More info on granular synthesis is found in books by Curtis Rhodes/MIT press and the Computer
Music Journal.

Also in the directory are simple demos of the MOTM-480 CS-80 filter.
