About Pure-D16/24Grain

After building some virtual analog synths and ' sample based 'synths it was time create a new

synthesizer, based on small sample-grains.

What we can do with a normal sound sample? How we can use it in another way ?

These questions generated after a year's worth of hard work on TubeOhm's Pure-Grain.

Pure-Grain is not a recreation of a classic synth, it's a unique synth as unique as you.

So.... what is Pure-Grain ?

Pure-Grain plays does not play samples in a normal way. The focus on Pure-Grain is set to new

effects, organic human sound scapes, voice splitters and also strange natural instruments.

This allows for a new type of granular synthesis.

With help from a modulation envelope, Pure-Grain can pass through a sample, or stop at a vocal

sample.

The sound length is separete from the sound pitch.

You can cut a small part, a GRAIN, from any position of the sample and use it as a waveform for

the subtractive synthesis engine.

The DELAY, LFO ,GATER and ARP can switch tempo to synchronise to the VST

Hostprogramme.

And yes , if the programming is harsh, you'll have aliasing an distortion in the sound , but

sometimes after moving just a knob, you'll hear never before heard sounds with Pure-Grain.

Pure-Grain is an very experimental synth , buildingblocks for sound designers and background

effects for movies, industrial music - for all sounds you just can't do so with a 'normal' synth.

Pure-Grain has a lot of new features and posibilities. The instrument can be used for pads, effects,

unbelievable sounds and also some trashy sounds.......

But after a small 'playaround' time it is easy for you to get fresh new sounds with Pure-Grain

INFO:

To understand the basic functions of Pure-Grain, let us think about what happens with the grain

synthesis.

Each of you (I think) has cut a small loop from a long audio sample. A very short loop contains

only one waveform cycle . If you now move the start point from the loop , you get a lot of differentwaveforms from one long audio sample.

If you move the loop start position from sample start to sample end , you hear the complete sample

and you are also able to stop the grain on any position in the sample. This is because only the loop

plays !!

Be shure that the Static Button is on !!

Moving the loop (Grain) start point manually with the GRAIN SELECT knob we call the

'STATIC MODE'. This you can do ' manually' with the GRAIN SELECT knob.

You create one waveform from a Sample and manipulate it with subtractive synthesis.

What happens if we automate the GRAIN SELECT function with a modulation envelope?

Be shure that the Dynamic Button is on !!

Yes , we can do it and this mode is called ' DYMANIC MODE'.

In this mode the envelope controls how fast and how far the grain moves in the sample.

If the attack time is fast, then the samples will be played fast, if the attack is slow than the sample is

played slow.

But the pitch of the sample is the same, because we drive with a small loop through the sample.

That means, we manipulate the SAMPLE TIME !!!

Formant synthesis:

Now we pitch the complete sample a few notes up. The pitch goes up, but the sample lengh is the

same.

That means, we can manipulate the pitch from the sample in spite of the sample length notchanging.

Now we have 2 parameters to have fun and play with.

These two parameters in the DYNAMIC MODE can be controlled with the LFOs, FORMANT

SELECT, KEYTRACK

How does the DYNAMIC MODE work with the envelope ?? (DYNAMIC ON)

The values of each stage from the envelope is the Grain-Position in the Sample.The needed time from one value to the next value in the envelope is the grain play time, because

the grain moves from one position to the next in a given time.


5/29

If the envelope start on zero level and moves in 2 seconds to the maximum level, the grain moves in

2 seconds from the sample start to the sample end.-- you hear the complete sample in 2 seconds.-.

Now the envelope moves back from maximun level to zero level. In this case the grain moves back

from the end of the sample to sample start. You hear the sample in reverse !!

The envelope has maximum 8 stages . With this, Pure-Grain can move the grain back and forwards

or stop on any position of the sample.

If you move a grain slowly through the sample it will give a very intresting sound effect, because

the waveforms change very slow .It is like the classic wavescanning synths of old.

Remember. If the envelope is rising, the sample plays forward, if the envelope is falling, the

sample play in reverse and if the envelope is fixed on a level, Pure-Grain plays only the small

GRAIN wave on this position.

Useful samples:If you use you own samples for grain synthesis, take vocals or drum patterns, ore every kind of

abnormal crazy samples !!

It comes alive with sounds from a complex sample, and it is equal if the sound quality of the

original sample.

Inany case you will get new intresting results.

Unuseful samples:

Saw, sin, sqr sample for example, this because this kind of sample can be playse forward/reverse

and still have the same sound. That defeats the purpose.

Enhanced modulation of grains and formants

Witch each of the LFOs you can modulate the Grain position and the Formants.(also

VCA,VCF and pitch)

The two LFOs can be switched to syncronize to the host tempo.

Tip: If you use a square wave for the modulation of the Grain position, the Grain jump from oneposition to another position of the sample and you hear different rhythmic sounds.

Remember, in the STATIC MODE you can choose the Grain position by hand with GRAIN

SELECT.

In the DYNAMIC MODE the envelope automates the GRAIN movement.

In both modes you can modulate the Grain's position and the Formant (pitch) with the LFOs.

If the STATIC MODE is on, Formant and pitch is also controlled by the envelope


6/29

Enhanced modulation of grains and formants

The selector STATIC/DYNAMIC MODE is at the middle-top of the envelope module !

Here's a few examples:

In the STATIC MODE you can adjust the grain position with GRAIN SELECT .You see here the blue marker. This shows you the actual Grain position!

Picture 1.1

In the DYNAMIC MODE the red marker shows the movement through the sample.

Also the modulation from the LFOs

picture 1.2

The speed of the sample movement time is controlled by the envelope, The maximum position in

the sample is

controlled by the level of the envelope !!

More about this in the manual later:

In the STATIC MODUS you can adjust the grain position with the GRAIN SELECT knob.

You see here theblue marker. This shows you the actual Grain position!

picture 1.1

In the DYNAMIC MODUS the red marker shows the moving through the sample.

Also the modulation with the LFO'S

picture 1.2


7/29

picture 1.3

What happens in Picture 1.3.

The Grain position starts from zero in the sample.Than the Grain moves in 2.1 seconds to the end of

the sample.

Level = 0 is sample start position

Level max is sample end position

The time from start to to max is the complete sample play time - forward !!

But what happens tf the envelope moves back from max to zero ??

Easy, the grain moves from the end of the sample to the start point.(reverse)

In this example the envelope has 2 stages. But this envelope can have up to 8 stages !!

You understand ?

With 8 stages it is possible to move back, forward and hold on the grain on any position of the

sample.

You can adjust the sample movement time of any stage and it is possible to loop the Envelope .

In the example on 1.3 the stages have linear curves but you can change the curves from lin to log or

to inverse log and much more !!

A vast playground indeed !!


8/29

Here the basic sound generator in overview

picture 1.4

How work the modules in combination ?

picture 1.5

The basic sound generator consists of the Grain Select module, the formant module and the pitch

module.

With GRAIN SELECT and FINE you can choose the Grain position in the sample.(static mode)

The arrow switches step fine on in 10' steps through the sample.

FORMANT SELECT controls the pitch of the (both) sample (not the grain pitch)

SAM1 and SAM2 adjusts the pitch of sample one and sample two. So you get more overtones in thegrain.

Best results is obtained if SAM1/2 in the middle. This is the work from the arrow switches.


9/29

With KEY-TRACK the FORMANTS move with the Note hight like 'VCF KEY TRACK'.

You get the best results nearly in middle position.

The tune module tunes the complete instrument

Tune controls the complete tune

Fine is the finetuning

OKT moves one oct up and three oct down

Semi pitch in +/- seven semitones

Here in picture 1.6 the complete Grain oscillator in overview

picture 1.6

The other modules like LFOs and the ENVELOPE control the Grain position, the time from one

Grain position to the next Grain position and the formant and pitch.

Why single and dual mode ??

The single mode

picture 1.7

Pure-Grain uses for one Grain 2 Samples.


10/29

In the single mode the same sample is in use twice. Internally the Grains are mixed together with

different phase and with a special amplitude modulation.

To have less sound artifacts two samples give the best results. But both samples must have the

same amplitude!

With the mix knob and the arrow switch the amplitude of both samples will be adjusted.Pressing the arrow button sets the Amplitude to 50/50% .

If you use another mix value, the Signal generates more overtones. Setting the mix to zero gives a

sound with granular scattering.

Test it , it is an experimental synth after all!

To use your own Samples, open with the Knop the file browser and select your

own samples.

Sample formats in 16/24bit up to 44.1 kHz are supported

the dual mode

picture 1.8

In the dual Mode you can load two different samples into Pure-Grain !

From the mix of both samples Pure-Grain generates one new Grain. Now you can manipulate this

grain with the other modules. (static or dynamic)


11/29

Movement with the Envelope

The envelope is the important function in the Grain manipulation

picture 1.9a

LEVEL

SEGMENT RELEASE stage

TIME

picture 1.9b

picture 1.9c

The levels are the positions for the Grain.In the picture 1.9a the grain start from 30%sample

position , rises up to 70% of the sample position , falls down to 30% (reverse) and goes slow up to

40% of the sample position. Then the grain hold on the release level and play only the wave

cycle (grain) on this position.

This is as if the loop in the envelope in not active ! If set to active , the envelope repeats on a chosen

stage to release and so on !


12/29

picture 2.0

Here are the functions:

1) envelope display

2) AMP and OFS for the grainmanipulation (to GRAIN)

3) AMP and OFS for the FORMANT manipulation (to FORMANT)

4) the PITCH modulation____________________________________________

5) the RELEASE/HOLD switch

6) TIME adjust knob= time for the complete envelope_________________

7) FINE adjust the adjustment of the envelope_______________

8) the important switch STATIC/DYNAMIC

DYNAMIC mode is on !

If the DYNAMIC MODE is on , the envelope controls the position and the time movement of the

Grain.

The FORMANT (to FORMANT) is controlled also.

STATIC mode is on !Is the STATIC MODE on, the position of the grain is only controlled by the GRAIN SELECT

knob.

FORMANT and PITCH works with the envelope in both modes !!

A Picture over the Knobs shows that the knobs are disabled !

Grain select and Fine are disabled in DYNAMIC MODE.

ToGrain AMP and OFS is disabled in STATIC MODE.


13/29

The knobs in the Envelope window:

to GRAIN AMP and OFS

OFS moves the zero point from the envelope up. Normally the envelope start with the level 0.That means Sample position 'start/begin'. With OFS the complete envelope become a new basic

value.

Example: if all values in the envelope are minimum (meaning zero) with OFS all values increment

to a higher Level. That means the start position of the grain moves up.

AMP controls the amplification of the envelope. Is AMP to maximum and the attack level rises

from 0 to maximum, than the Grain moves through the complete sample.

IfAMP=50% on that grain, the Grain has it's end position to the half length of the sample.

Is AMP=0% then there is no movement, becaus the amplitude = 0.

AMP=0 than OFS has now the same function like GRAIN SELECT !!

to FORMANT AMP and OFS

it is similar the same like "to Grain", but these parameters control the FORMANT offset,

AMP controls the amplification of the envelope and so the modulation's depth envelope formant

control.

PITCH controls the Envelope modulation to pitch of the GRAIN OSCILLATORS .

It is a simple envelope to Pitch modulation.

Enhanced possibilitys of the envelope

picture 2.1

In the piture 2.1 we have the following possibilities

1. release switch

2 TIME multiplication3. TIME knob with time display right

4. Norm switch_______________________


14/29

The functions:

RELEASE/HOLD =the Loop works also in release (Key on keyboard depressed) mode, or the

loop stop in sustain and moves direct to the release phase. This works only if the loop in the

envelope is switched on.

TIME multiplication length the time axis of the whole envelope. T=50 , the envelope works very

slow.

TIME Knob adjusts the complete time of the envelope.

Norm, Fine, Ultra: if you adjust the envelope with the mouse, the movement of the single

segments can be adjusted - normal, fine or ultra fine.

More adjustmens of the envelope

click with the mouse on a envelope segment to open a popup menu

picture 2.2

It is closed if you click to close or click the small rectangle in the envelope.

In the popup menu you can adjust some additional parameters of the envelope

Shapes the curves can be lin, log, exp .....

How many sustain stages .

Repeat stage adjusts the stage for the loop

Active stage adjusts the maximum stages 1..8.

if you want to have a normal envelope with only one release stage, the sustain stages must have

one stage less than the active stages.

** 8 active, 7 sustain stages !! gives one release stage.

I hope now you'll understand the function STATIC/DYNAMIC with envelope modulation.

The modulators LFO1, LFO2 LFO-M

One other highlight is the tempo synchronization 'to host' modulation with the LFOs.

You can set the tempo sync to LFO1/2 the gater and the delay. That allows you to program rhythmic

soundscapes.

You can set all modulators to free run also.

But first, what is the difference between SYNC and T-SYNC ?

SYNC means you can adjust the start phase of the LFO waveform if you press a key on the

keyboard.

T-SYNC (tempo sync) syncronizes the LFO frequency with the host tempo.

Example: Host BPM=120 divisor =1/2 , the LFO works with 240 BPM=4 HzLFO 1 can switched monophonic/polyphonic. IN Poly mode each of the 10 voices has it's own

LFO.

Set to monophonic = all voices have only one LFO for modulation.

Additionally - LFO1 has a sample and hold function! The sample and hold frequency is controlled

by LFO 2

Waveform LFO 1 intern picture 2.3

Waveform LFO 2picture 2.3a

picture 2.3bresultant waveform LFO1with SAMPLE and HOLD
mailto:[email protected]:[email protected]


16/29

LFO2 is completely monophonic but has a fade in/out function.

The components of LFO 1/2

picture 2.4

FREQ adjusts the LFO frequency, choose the waveform with the switch right near FREQ

PHASE adjust the start phase of the LFO waveform 0..360 degree.

This works only if SYNC is on.

Phase =0, the sin begins with 0, phase =90 , the sin begin with the max pos amplitude

Phase =180 the sin level is again 0, phase 270 the sin start with it's negative maximum.

Tip: if you modulate the VCF, set SYNC to off, so the LFO runs free. Otherwhise the LFO willsync each time you press the key on the keyboard. That can cause spikes !!

If the LFO works in polyphony, it works like an extra envelope forVCF orVCA

T-SYNC syncronise the LFO frequency with the host frequency.It contains frequency

multiplication or division.

IfT-SYNC is on, the frequency Knob doesn't work , T-SYNC now adjusts the LFO frequency.

SAMPLE and HOLD takes each time (if LFO2 rises up) a sample from the LFO 1 amplitude and

holds it .

Look at picture 2.3b

Routing of the LFO's 1+2 picture 2.5


17/29

The LFO can modulate the following parameters.

TUNE = the pitch of the grain oscillator. (pitch modulation)

GRAIN = moves the Grain with help from the LFO wave to another position in the sample.

FORMANT 1../ 2../ 1+2 modulation of Sample 1/2 or both.

VCF/VCA modulation of filter cutoff or VCA amplitude.

_________________________________________________________________________

LFO 2 has nearly the same functions like LFO 1 but it is only monophonic.

picture 2.6

LFO 2 contains a FADE IN/OUT function

Fade in is the time to reach the max Amplitude

Fade out is the time the max Amplitude moves to zero after a key on the keyboard is depressed.

LFO-M ( modulations LFO ) and the wheels

picture 2.7

Pure-G has a third LFO, the modulation LFO.

This LFO is only monophonic. The modulation depth is controlled by the Mod Wheel and the

DEPTH knob.

FRQ Frequency is adjusted with the FREQ knob.

It can switch off (LFO-M =red) and route to the Samples, Grains or both.

PORTA on/off switch the portamento on/off and the Porta Knob adjusts the portamento time.The pitch wheel (left) controls the pitch in +/-0..12 semitones.


18/29

The subtraktive synthesis filter VCF

picture 2.8

he filter in Pure-Grain is a multi combination filter. It contains a LP , a LP/HP and in the end there

is a 6 db LP filter. This 6 dB LP filter reduces the high frequencies and also high Q values.

picture 2.9 1x LP filter without 6dB LP

picture 3.0 1 x LP-filter with 6dB LP


19/29

picture 3.1 both main filter LP in chain with additional 6 dB LP without distortion bost


20/29

picture 3.2 both filters in chain , distortion on, 6dB filter off

picture 3.3 LP with HP filter in chain, distortion off, 6dB LP on


21/29

Filterrouting:

Pure-G contains three filters.

Two main filter , the second can switched from LP to HP and one 6dB Lp filter.

picture 3.4

F-Mode is set to LP! That means only the first filter is set to LP .. picture 2.8

The 6 dB is switch off if Dig/6dB shows DIG./digital)

picture 3.5

if we switch now the 6dB filter from off (dig) to on (6dB) we can control its cutoff frequency with

the SPACING KNOB. picture2.9

picture 3.6

The SPACING knob controls simultaniously the cutoff frequency from the 6dB filter and parallel

the cutoff from the second main filter.

Thus if the second filter is switch on in the F-MODE menue.(LP-LP or LP-HP)

and if 6dB is off (dig) and the second filter is off F-MODE=LP , spacing has no function!!

The second posibility

Both main filters in chain Picture 3.0

picture 3.7

F-MODE shows LP-LP , BOOST is off . Both main filters in chain and both are LP.

With 12/24dB both filters can be set to 12/24dB, Reso adjusts both filters Q.

IF BOOST is on, the audio signal is distorted after the first filter. Now the second filter filters the


22/29

distorted audio signal again . Look to picture 3.1

The Cutoff knob adjusts cutoff only to filter 1,the spacing knob adjust the cutoff from Filter2.

The third possibility

in the third possibility the second filter is switch to HP Look to picture 3.2

picture 3.8

BOOST can be switch on/off.

The 6 dB filter can be switched on/off in all three modes.It is only a kind of high damping function.

In this third mode the result from a LP filter with a HP filter is a BP filter with adjustable

bandwidthRemember, the 6dB filter is controlled also with SPACING like the second main filter .

Here's the complete control panel again.

picture 3.9


23/29

CUTOFF cutoff for the first filter

DIG/6dB switches the 6dB filter on/off

SPACING controls the cutoff from the second filter and the cutoff from the 6 dB filter

simultaniously

LIN/LOG damps the signal amplitufe if Q is high

RESO is the resonace of both main filters

F-ENV adjust the depth of the Envelope modulation (cutoff of both main filters) not the 6 dB

filter

KEY-T adjust the key tracking cutoff frequency.

F-MODE it the filter routing.

Boost distorts the audio signal if F-MODE is LP/LP or LP/HP .

Filter envelope

picture 4.0

Here's the complete filter module again.

Right you see ADSR, the time stretch switch and the VELO knob

ADSRis attack, decay, sustain, release . The time switch sets the overall time of the complete

envelope.T=1 is a fast envelope, T=10 a very slow envelope.

Velo is the keyboard velocity of the filter cutoff, works with both main filters.***


24/29

The VCA section with soft distortion at the end.

picture 4.1

You'll see ADSR, the time stretch switch , the LIN/LOG switch the VELO knob

ADSRis attack, decay, sustain, release . The time switch set the overall time of the complete

envelope.

T=1 is a fast envelope, T=10 a very slow envelope.

LIN/LOG gives the ADSR another volume curve.LOG is useful for percussive sounds.

VELO is the keyboard velocity of the VCA amplitude.

SOFT DISTORTION works like tube distortion.

IfSOFT DIST is adjusted a little, it adds more overtonse to the audio signal- like an exciter.

Setting Soft dist to maximum, distorts the audio signal heavily.


25/29

Let us now fine tune your sound with effects

Important: the big volume Knob adjust the volume before the effects.

The volume knob in reverb adjust the volume again.

The effects chain works like the following.

First the signal runs through the delay, then through the chorus and then through the reverb.The Gater can be switched befor the delay (pre) or after the reverb(after)

Output signal l Pure-Grain>>**GATER**>>Delay>>Chorus>>Reverb>>**GATER.

The Delay

picture 4.2

Stereo delay with time, feedback, host sync , live function and damping

MIX mix the delay with the original signal.

TIME is the delaytime of each delay

TS host Sync Funktion (SYNC 1 /2 = OFF, , , 1/8, 3/8,1/16, 3/16 )

*** is sync activity, the time knobs have no function!! The time is calculated by the

host clock.***

FEED is the feedback from each delay

DMP damps the high frequencies

If the live function is in use, a slow LFO modulates the time of both delays .

The delay doesn't sound static.


26/29

The Chorus

picture 4.3

The stereo chorus has the following functions:

MIN = base delay for the chorus

PHASE = stereo depth

DEEP = modulation depth LFO for chorus

SPEED = frequency of the LFO

MIX = mixes original with chorus signalFEEDBK= feedback of the chorus

4 stage/2 stages = more chorus effect

The reverb

picture 4.4

Reverb functions

PREDELAY = time gap before the onset of reverb

LP= damping of high frequencies

HP = damping of the low frequencies

STEREO = stereo/mono

ROOM = big/small reverb room

DRY-WET = mix original with reverb signal

VOLUME = output volume


27/29

GATER AND ARPEGGIATOR

The Gater

The gater set the output volumen rhytmic to zero (adjustable)

It has two functions modes.

The both functions are selectable with the triangle switch above MODE

Modus 1picture 4.5

In mode one the gates are set with the small red switches. Two gates chained gives

a longer gater signal. Time control. Gate 1 and gate 2 together gives double overall gate time.

Modus 2 .

Modus 2 picture 4.6

In mode two the gate volume can be controlled by the black displays and switched on/off by the red

switches.Mode 2 plays 8 times the gates if it is on.

No time control is possible if two gates are daisychained !

The Gater controls

ON triangle switch -switches the gater on/off

FRQ adjusts the gater frequency if sync is off

SYNC syncs the gater to the host frequency. If sync is on, freq has no function !!

8 small switches switched the gate on/off

8 black displays adjust the volume of each gate in modus 2

EFFECT PRE/AFTER adjust the routing before the delay or after reverb

MIX, mixes the Gater with the original signal. If MIX is maximum the gater cuts the

sound completely.


28/29

The ARPEGGIATOR

picture 4.7

Arpeggiator functions

** Pure-G had a sync to host/free function (SYNC-H/Free).

In the SYNC-H mode, the speed can't be adjusted with the BPM Knob, only in free run.

LIVE on/off= on/off= with an internal LFO the gate time is modulated. That gives a dynamic

ARP-sound .

LIVE off= you can adjust the note lenght manually

FRQ 1,1/2,1/4 speeds up the tempo.

OFF/UP/DWN.... select the different ARP modes and switch the arp on/off

HOLD- hold the keys on the keyboard.

OKT- the ARP transpose 1 oct or 2 oct or 3 oct

MIDI und MIDI LEARN

Pure-Grain receives midi on all midi channels

MIDI learn

picture 4.7


29/29

Click with the right mouse button on a Knob, choose MIDI LEARN, move the hardware knob on

your keyboard. Ready !!

In each Sounbank you can have one complete midi learn setup.

Different MIDI learn setups are not stored by a single sound.

The laste stored MIDI learn setup overwrites all other MIDI learn setups !!

Known BUGS:

after switching to a new sound patch it may give small attack spikes for the first 10 played notes.

Sorry, that is system specific. We'd change it if it were possible.

FAQ:

Not enought high frequencies ??

**** 6db Filter on?- switch it off !

**** change with grain select the grain

Grain can't find the samples**** The Sample Bank is moved in another folder. Must be in C:\Programme\TubeOhm\Pure-

G\Samples

SPIKES in fast attack times

**** the envelopes are fast, 1 sample. Increase the attack time until the spikes go away.

Aliasing in high frequencys

*** sometimes it sounds better in you move the KEY TRACK knob in formant select a little bit.
