Many of you that know me, know that for years I have wanted a granular synthesis footpedal for my electronics...Now that I've gone max/msp I have one. One of the gentlemen that I've met on this gig at Spark is Nathan Wolek, he is it when it comes to granular synthesis. And if you've been wondering what the heck granular synthesis is you can download papers at his website by clicking his name or pointing your browser at NathanWolek.com. Or you can start by going to Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_synthesis and read about it...
