Went to put on my boots to do some snow shoveling and found 131 raw Asian peanuts in my right boot!

Bernie

Now, THAT'S what I call off-topic!

oh no! No cpmplaints here.  I love those kinds of posts actually.

While I'm here, I'll be posting a "tune" to my Soundcloud page in a little while.  I just have to record a guitar part and mix.  I finally got a 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!

later...

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

I think it refers to the artificial synthesis of granola. which Fritz  
probably eats before he makes music.

from Wikipedia, "It is based on the same principle as sampling. However, the samples are not played back conventionally, but are instead split into small pieces of around 1 to 50ms. These small pieces are called grains. Multiple grains may be layered on top of each other, and may play at different speeds, phases, volume, and frequency."

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

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

dunno... The app I'm using, Steinberg Padshop Pro, seems pretty efficient.  I ran four instances of it on my 2009 MacPro 8 core and it didn't flinch.
