Bouncing Bonkers Call - with Dawesome Novum granular synth

[zvon]

In this short video, I am creating a joyous cacophony with a single speech sample. The sampler used is Novum granular synthesizer, a fantastic virtual instrument from Dawesome available for Mac and Windows.

Sample is from my audio samples Patreon Reward pack 30, The Second Slapstick Pack - part 2. Source video is a classic slapstick 1936 short movie that is now Public Domain.These packs are exclusively available to those who support me on Patreon.

Basic description of granular sampler/synth:
Contrary to a regular sampler that plays back samples linearly, from beginning to end or from end to beginning if playback is reversed, a granular sampler plays back samples in chunks, called grains. Size of grains can be adjusted and they are usually not played linearly. With longer grains, like in this example, sound is closer to the original.

The virtual playhead jumps from one grain to another. How it jumps is determined by the various controls a granular sampler/synthesizer has. This can be more or less randomly with more or less wide gaps.

The specific controls vary from one sampler to another. Additionally, many synth features are usually included, like filters, envelopes, LFOs and various modulators.
