WHAT IS THIS PATCH?
Turns anything you record into a playable polyphonic instrument with 6 voices. Granular synthesis allows to change the playback speed independently of pitch by splitting the given audio into grains. You can control the grain size, density, spread, grain window function (hann, tukey, close to none), playback speed, playback direction and stereo width. Recorded samples can be up to 2 seconds long. The part to be played can be sliced by setting a start and a end position. Additionally, there is a page with controls for two effects: reverb and a filter LFO.
It is based on the fantastic GrainStorm patch (https://patchstorage.com/grainstorm-ver1-0/).

HOW DO I USE THIS PATCH?
The Organelle keyboard functions as a standard 2 octave keyboard in this patch, where the second C represents the original recorded pitch. It is playable like a normal synthesizer patch. Play notes and change the sound characteristics with the knobs. You can latch the notes you pressed by turning the first knob on page 4 to the right. Then you are free to use both hands to change the grain and effects parameters.

A typical use case would be:
1. Find an interesting audio source
2. Press AUX button to record the sound
3. Select page 2 via the encoder knob and set the playback start and end positions of the recorded audio such that no unintended clicks at the beginning or the end remain in the sound. Don’t forget to adjust them again after you record a new sample.
4. Play some notes
5. Latch one or multiple notes (on page 4)
6. Add an LFO Filter and a little bit of reverb on page 3
