Universal Polyphonic Player

Instructor: Thomas Grill

This workshop presents a general framework for playing polyphonic events, be it sample-based (granular) playback or generative audio synthesis. The method is purely patcher based, no specific knowledge is required.

The focus of the workshop will be on the implementation of the technique and on various practical use-cases, e.g. MIDI-note-style synthesis, types of granular synthesis and others.

Once understood, this framework can serve as a swiss-army knife for everyday digital musicking tasks.
