Eskite Granular Synthesizer

Granular synthesis is a sound synthesis technique based on creating small “particles” of sound, called grains, that are played rapidly one after another to create complex sounds and interesting textures.
In the case of this specific machine, the sound is created from two triangle waves that are calculated based on the decay and frequency controls. Each wave has two analog inputs: one controls the frequency of the wave, and the other controls the duration of the sound.

These two waves have the same static duration, and together they form a single grain. Then, there is an analog input that controls the frequency at which this grain is repeated, creating an interesting blend of the repetition frequency and the original grain.The machine also has six different frequency mapping modes: logarithmic, chromatic, diatonic major, diatonic minor, pentatonic major, and pentatonic minor. You can switch between these modes by pressing a button, and the LED on the machine will indicate which mode you are in.

Additionally, the machine has an additional LED that reflects the audio output, allowing you to visualize the sound being generated in real time.
