Density for iPad
NEW: iDensiy User Manual
Density for iPad brings all the powerful Density/Pulsaret (Mac/Win standalone) Granular Synthesis tools to the world’s most popular tablet.
iDensity is a new real-time software designed for asynchronous sound file granulation, a genuine granular playground able to generate a wide range of usual and not so usual effects: time/pitch shifting, time/pitch jittering, intricate textures, grain fountain/pulverizer, recording and manipulation of buffers, complex scrub pad exploration, dynamic envelope shape and many more. iDensity for iPad will give you all the basic and advanced tools you need to manipulate sound in subtle and surprising ways. All these features are packed in an optimized, user-friendly, visually sharp interface that is easy to access when fast-improvising live, composing in a studio, or sound designing at home and on the go! You will have the power, freedom, and flexibility to create like never before – on your iPad! iDensity allows you to record audio directly with your iPad mic and load up to nine built-in sound sample or add your own WAV, AIFF, CAF, MP3, M4A or MP3 files via iTunes. With iDensity it is possible to record the stereo output (of granulation) into the documents folder while scrubbing in the wavepad or moving granulation parameters in real-time. The mixdown/audio results can then be syncronized with/in iTunes.
Control and shape grains, anytime, anywhere with Density for iPad.
- nine built-in sound samples
- record audio directly with iPad mic
- add WAV, AIFF, CAF, MP3, M4A or MP3 files via iTunes
- capture audio output- up to eight shapes for the grain envelope
- record the granulation audio output
- wavePad zoom selection- wavePad scrub
- wavePad peak normalize- etc.

PulsaretM4L (no Max 6 compatible)
PulsaretM4L Granular Synthesis plugins for Ableton Live. Requires Live 8.1 (better 8.2.2 or higher) and Max For Live. Details about Max For Live can be found at Ableton.com. PulsaretM4L plugin will only work in Ableton (not in the MaxMSP application).
WARNING: run only with Max 5, no compatible with Max 6.
PulsaretM4L Microsound Prototypes Granular Synthesis {Glisson, Pulsar, Grainlet, Trainlet} instrument device for Ableton Live
PulsaretM4L is a new interactive real-time program for asynchronous/synchronous prototypes granular synthesis. PulsaretM4L implements a wide range of time-domain varieties of granular synthesis: glisson, grainlet, trainlet pulsar etc… Sound disintegration, pulverizer, sampled envelope “convolution”, dynamic draw envelope/ shape, interpolation-transitions and Hyper Vectorials pads they simplify the creation of incredible sound objects. Through the Grainlet Matrix, you can connects all parameters between they, to modulate sounds. PulsaretM4L is able to generate all kind of prototypes granular synthesis.

Pulsaret
Pulsaret is a new interactive real-time program for asynchronous/synchronous prototypes granular synthesis.

All parameters are controllable via MIDI learning/rescale and OSC network. Matrix & LFO provide a powerfull way to connect one parameter with a dependent parameter/s, implementing all grainlets kind.

DensityM4L
DensityM4L Granular Synthesis plugins for Ableton Live. Requires Live 8.1 (better 8.2.2 or higher) and Max For Live. Details about Max For Live can be found at Ableton.com. DensityM4L plugins will only work in Ableton (not in the MaxMSP application).
DensityM4L Instrument and DensityM4L FX plugins, implements respectively a polyphonic sound file granulator (wav, aiff or mp3) and a polyphonic live-buffer granulator. They works on Audio and MIDI tracks like a normal Ableton FX.
DensityM4L is a new real-time software designed especially for LIVE asynchronous granular synthesis and sound file granulation, a genuine granular playground able to generate a wide range of usual and not so usual effects: time/pitch shifting, time/pitch jittering, intricate textures, grain fountain/pulverizer, recording and manipulation of buffers, complex scrub pad exploration, dynamic envelope shape drawing and many more.
Besides the basic tools, even more advanced tools are available to control the grains!
You have smooth transitions (interpolation) between global presets (snapshots), you can navigate with hyperVectorial pads or/and sequence your snaps using the “snap rhythm improviser” which provides an unique & powerful way to generate incredible sound phrases.DensityM4L Fx example from densitygs on Vimeo or You Tube

Like any good live-oriented tool, all widgets are controllable via MIDI and OSC protocol, easy to map and manipulate with your MIDI controller.
All is packed in an optimized visually sharp interface, easy to use and access when fast improvising live or lazy composing in a studio.Density sequencer programming and performance 01 from densitygs on Vimeo or You Tube

Background
The first official release of Density (2001), developed in Csound language and based on Eugenio Giordani ‘s GSC4 (Granular Synthesis for Csound). GSC4 was the first patch for granular synthesis on Csound implementing Barry Truax model.
Density can generate thousands of grains dynamically, I preferred this way, rather than a fixed number of “voices” (oscillators). The overlapping factor grains, depends only on the actual CPU power. Thus you have not limits in grains number for second (density).
DensityGSC (Csound version) is still available for free at: www.alessandro-petrolati.it/densitygsc.html it works on Windows XP but not in Windows Vista, it seems magically resurrected with Windows7. DensityGSC is a discontinued product.
New Density is completely rewritten in Max/Msp 5, available for both Macintosh and Windows, more stable, flexible, improved audio quality, restyling GUI look (Graphic User Interface) with native effects Hv_pads, FiltersEQ, Snapshots Sequencers improviser unit etc…
