ParticularityParticularity is a real-time granular synthesis system, along with a sequencer for some of the parameters, combined with a generator of animated visuals. There can be as many as 8 synthesis processes at any one time, and one "picture" window. Using this program alone, a whole audio-visual piece can be created and performed. - explore 3 types of granular synthesis, with grains made from the harmonics mixer, a drawn waveform or loaded sample. - use generated or drawn amplitude or frequency envelopes. - parameter sequencer lets you draw looping envelopes for many of the parameters: 6 per channel. - live mixer offers controls for volume, panning and frequency for both individual channels and the entire setup. - whole setups, including synthesis and sequencing, can be saved in slots and recalled under MIDI control. - create visual animations based on the sequenced parameters, plotting them in 2D space with user-definable shapes, colours and sizes. - most parameters can be controlled using "learned" MIDI CC messages. - Released under the GPL and available for no cost. In June 2010, Particularity was named joint winner of the LoMus open-source music software competition organised every two years by the Association Française d'Informatique Musicale. ![]() Downloads
