But Granita still esists

Please see here:

and download/pull here:
http://gitorious.org/granita

I get an error trying to open the file in Linux:

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Tried extracting the file from the commandline this time. Almost everything was extracted: is there meant to be a file called !.pd ? It shows up as 0 bytes...

Hi I'm sorry about that.. It looks like the forum doen's like the tar.gz and I had only tested localy.

The zip now included should work (I tried re-downloading, extracting and launching granita.pd)

The object is called !-.pd and it mimics a MAX/MSP object.

Thanks for pointing this out.
Let me know if it works.
Lorenzo

Great job, man.
Thank you.

The zip file is indeed working. Thanks for a fun patch!

damn thats sexy

Enjoying this. Thanks! Goes into my musical tools for sure!

Glad people are still using and, hopefully, enjoying this.

Lorenzo.

Hi ! I would really like to try out this patch, but i don't use gitorius (and i don't have an SSH Key). any chance you could upload a .zip file to this thread? Many Thanks!

No need

In gitorious you can dirctly download a tar.gz of the source tree:

Hi Lorenzo, very good patch, thanks for sharing it.
Maybe it is not fully clear how to download it from the main granita gitorious page:
first one have to press the "Source Tree" button and in the new page that opens there is the "download master as tar.gz".
Otherwise there is your donwload link...

Concerning the pitch control, how is it handled? The units you provided are kind of "arbitrary" (0-5000, with 4000 being the
"no pitch modification"). Wouldn't it be more informative to have something linked to the frequencies
(double the frequency, half the frequency etc.) or maybe this is not possible because of grain implementation?

By the way, It's true, this is "an incredibly original aesthetic problem "

Yes... I guess it's a bit convoluted, but once you get used to the intricacies of GIT it's rather custom
Actually it is also linked from e.g. http://puredata.info/downloads/granita-minimalist-granular-synthesis

Absolutely... the 'pitch' control is probably the roughest part of granita, although it can be fun (especially with the live looper). Redoing the whole GUI with more comprehensible controls and tidier patching is in the todo ever since

By the way, It's true, this is "an incredibly original aesthetic problem "
