Granular synthesis takes one sound and cuts it into tiny grains, usually just a few milliseconds long, then replays them in new ways. When those grains overlap into a cloud, the result can feel airy, dense, or pad-like, because the engine can stack many grains at once and move through the source sample over time. Change grain size, density, position, and jitter, and the same sound can turn choppy, glitchy, or strangely alive. Listen to a clip and guess: is it granular, or is your ear just catching a clever illusion?
