Features for Granulator in Current

Feature Requests

  1. Would be really cool to have an option to alternate panning on grains in the granulator, so that every panned in a pingpong like manner rather than just fully random. Additionally, it would be nice to have this feature on a slide so you could slowly fade into full ping grains. Allows for really mono stable stereo width at high rates (when grains don’t overlap).

  2. I’d love if there was a way to have pitch tracking in the grain rate in the granular engine of current function independently from the underlying sample repitching. Right now if you import a sample that isn’t in c, and use the pitch adjustment function in the granular engine to line it up with the keys (e.g. adjusting a sample in D down two semi tones to be in C), adjusting the grain rate pitch tracking up to +48 will also be shifted so it no longer is locked to the proper pitch. Only way around it a the moment is prepitching the sample to C before importing it into current. Adjusting the tuning also changes the way the pitch tracks at the moment.

  3. Would be cool to have pitch randomization quantizing so that you could set a randomization for grains to be repitched by octaves or fifths rather than just at any pitch.

    Just wanted to add on here that baby audios Grainferno has some of these features for reference point https://babyaud.io/grainferno

    They handle these points in the following way:
    1.) they’ve got the ability to retriggers modulators at the grain rate or by every x grains
    2 and 3.) they have a number of pitch tracking options that automatically lock into key tracked pitches — the knob can be free pitch or quantized by octaves or semitones

    and a fourth feature Id love too:
    4.) ability to crossfade between two different grains — would allow for some interesting morphs where you grain to extra tonal and then shift samples and slow back down
