Granular Guitar

video upload by Instruō

"làrachd is utilised as an input stage for the guitar.
The output from làrachd is patched to the Onset Input of arbhar.

When an onset signal is detected, arbhar begins recording the guitar. Once the buffer is full, we can use the Spray Knob and Scan Knob to explore which part of the recording we would like to hear.

The guitar signal normals to làrachd's envelope follower.

The Positive Envelope Output of the làrachd is used to modulate arbhars Intensity. As a result, when a loud input signal is present, fewer grains are triggered from the arbhars Continuous Granular Engine.

The Negative Envelope Output is offset using a vincâ and used to duck arbhar's internal reverb as well as adjust the Dry/Wet Mix when an input signal is present.

arbhar’s Pitch Deviation Knob is positioned fully clockwise meaning grains are transposed up and down octaves.

Finally, the left and right outputs of the arbhar are patched to the cuïr, which is used for gain staging and final signal output."
