The Grainskan synth is perhaps best described as a hybrid sampler-wavetable-granular synthesizer. It can be used to create twisted techno funk loops, luscious evolving pads, glitchy blips and much much more.
The engine is based upon a crude time-domain pitchshifter, harnessing the colouration introduced in the process to generate rich harmonic tones, and parameterized in such a way as to allow the user to explore the transition between effect and instrument.
Magalov Audio have provided a compact user guide to explain how this synth works and how to use it.
