Granular Synthesis (MicroGranny Edition)

This video is a return to granular synthesis featuring the MicroGranny 2.0 from Bastl Instruments. I go over some fundamentals of granular (possibly a rehash if you've seen my other granular videos) and discuss why the MicroGranny might (or might not) be a good choice for granular synthesis. I get to the tutorial part about a third of the way in and lastly talk about some alternatives. Timeline below.
