Granular Synthesis

The jMusic Online Granulator

The jMusic Online Granulator uses granular synthesis to granulate a square wave audio stream in real time over the internet.

It was created by Timothy Opie as a by-product of his masters degree in music, specialising in granular synthesis. This applet is just a small sample of the granulator code that is found in jMusic. The granulator code was was written in 2001. As far as I am aware, it was the first real-time granulator that worked over the internet.

Note: Minimum requirement is Java 1.2. This Applet may take anywhere from a couple of seconds to a couple of minutes to initialize, depending on your connection (It is about 200k) :)
