Grainy Day

Grainy Day is a max4live designed and built by Aval.

It's an audio effects unit designed to upgrade your sound production! With its random grain sizes and adjustable delay times, this device offers unmatched creativity. Choose between random, free sync, or bpm sync settings for delay time, while the user-defined grain envelope lets you seamlessly switch between impulsive and smooth grains. Dive even deeper into sonic exploration with the four pitchshifters, allowing you to create evolving and distinctive textures by layering different ranges. And don't forget the incredible reverberation module! With two macros for decay and dry/wet, you can generate expansive clouds of sound that range from gentle ambience to an almost freeze. The GrainyDay's captivating visual display corresponds to send amount and signal RMS, while its random movement, synced to the tempo, adds an exciting element to your sonic journey.

• Tempo/Free : changes the sync mode of the individual grains, synced to Ableton's bpm or free. The small dial below the switch sets the speed.
• D/W : amount of dry or wet signal
• Much : Increases the delay time and its randomness
• Sync/Sfased : if Sync, the envelopes of the grains are aligned in phase with each other, resulting in more rhythmic and patterned results. If Sfased, the grain envelopes are not phase aligned, this allows to create a continuous audio signal flux.
• Send : send signal to the 4 pitchshifters, on the right is possible to change the pitch of each pitchshifter
• The top right arrow, next to the sync/sfased switch, pops up a window where you can change the envelope shape of the single grains.
• The bottom arrow, below the send potentiometer, pops up a window where you can change the integrated reverb dry/wet and its duration.
