New to crusher-X? In four minutes this tutorial shows what a grain cloud is made of. Two sliders decide it: Length - how long a grain lasts - and Birth - the time from one grain to the next. Between them lie a rhythm, a stream, sparks, a pitch of its own, and a cloud of 64 grains at a time.
What you will learn:
- Length and Birth: a grain, a pause - a rhythm
- the grain window, and Tilt: grains that start hard like a drop, or swell and stop
- overlap: when Birth is half of Length, the rhythm is gone
- sparks: grains of ten milliseconds
- a hundred grains a second: the rhythm becomes a pitch, and Birth tunes it
- long grains that overlap eight times - and why they still sound like the input
- what makes a cloud: generators, and every grain with a place and a pitch of its own (Random Grain)
