HISSTools Granular is a lightweight plugin for granular synthesis based on samples.
- HISSTools Granular was originally built for teaching purposes at the University of Huddersfield.
- It supports the generation of grains in either 'streams' or 'clouds' modes.
- It allows per-grain distortion and filtering, as well as giving control of more common granular synthesis parameters.
- A full manual can be found here.
- HISSTools Granular is curently provided as AUv2 (mac only) and VST2 / VST3 (mac / windows).
- Other formats are support by iPlug 2 but not yet configured to build correctly.
- Automated builds of the plugin can be found on the releases page of GitHub (the latest version is at the top).
- If you do not need to build from source you are strongly advised to download the official builds linked above, rather than to download the source code / repository available directly from the frontpage of the repo on GitHub.
- You will require a fully setup version of iPlug 2.
- This repo is designed to be placed in a subfolder of the iPlug 2 repository (e.g. iPlug2/Projects).
- The HISSTools_PluginLib repo is also required to be placed next to this one before building (e.g. iPlug2/Projects).
- You will need to make sure that the HISSTools_Library submodule is correctly initialised (which can be done with
git submodule update --initif you have already pulled the repository and you did not pull in a manner that already handled this). - The supplied Xcode workspace and Visual Studio solution should then build the valid plugin formats (AUv2 / VST2 / VST3) correctly.
