TGrains buffer granulator


Triggers generate grains from a buffer. Each grain has a Hanning envelope (sin^2(x) for x from 0 to pi) and is panned between two channels of multiple outputs.


TGrains.ar(numChannels, trigger, bufnum, rate, centerPos, dur, pan, amp, interp)


numChannels - number of output channels.

trigger - at each trigger, the following arguments are sampled and used 

as the arguments of a new grain. 

A trigger occurs when a signal changes from <= 0 to > 0.

If the trigger is audio rate then the grains will start with sample accuracy.

bufnum - the index of the buffer to use. It must be a one channel (mono) buffer.

rate   -  1.0 is normal, 2.0 is one octave up, 0.5 is one octave down

-1.0 is backwards normal rate ... etc.

Unlike PlayBuf, the rate is multiplied by BufRate, so you needn't do that yourself.

centerPos - the position in the buffer in seconds at which the grain envelope will reach 

maximum amplitude.

dur    -   duration of the grain in seconds.

pan    -   a value from -1 to 1. Determines where to pan the output in the same manner as PanAz.

amp   - amplitude of the grain.

interp - 1,2,or 4. Determines whether the grain uses (1) no interpolation, (2) linear interpolation, 

or (4) cubic interpolation.
