That must take an incredible amount of processor power to get the most out  
of it.

from Wikipedia, "It  is based on the same principle as _sampling_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(music)) .  However, the samples are not 
played back conventionally, but are instead split  into small pieces of around 1 
to 50_ms_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millisecond) . These small pieces 
are  called grains. Multiple grains may be layered on top of each other, and  
may play at different speeds, _phases_ (http://en.
wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(waves)) , volume, and  frequency."

The high end  granular synths split sound up even smaller than 1 ms.

OK, I've heard of granular synthesis, but haven't got a clue what it is.  
Simple explanation for we simple folks?

piece of software that does a very musical job  of granular synthesis. So, I 
took elements from the first 15 seconds of my  album and time expanded it to 3 
minutes and added a few knick knacks. I think  y'all'll enjoy it. The tron 
sounds great slowed waayyy down. Susan's voice  sounds great too. Very 
ambient and trippy!
