The Kyma Language for Sound Design, Version 4.5

To specify a constant duration, no matter what the frequency of the waveform within each grain (implying
that high frequency grains will have more cycles in them than low frequency grains):
GrainDur =
CyclesPerGrain = 0
GrainDurJitter
The amount of random jitter added to the grain duration value when a new grain starts up. When
GrainDurJitter is 0, every new grain will have the same duration. At the other extreme, when it is set to 1,
the durations vary randomly from 0 to twice the specified duration.
CyclesPerGrain
The integer number of full cycles of the waveform that should occur inside each grain. Use this
parameter to specify grains that are shorter for high frequencies than they are for low frequencies. If you
prefer uniform grain durations over all frequencies, set this parameter to zero and use GrainDur to set the
grain duration.
Frequency
Frequency of the oscillator within each grain.
FreqJitter
The amount of random jitter added to the Frequency value when a new grain starts up. When FreqJitter
is 0, the frequency inside each grain will be equal to the value in the Frequency parameter. When it is 1,
each grain will have a different, randomly selected frequency.
It is defined as:
(1 + ( * FreqJitter)) * Frequency
so when FreqJitter is 1, the frequency can range from 0 hz up to twice the specified Frequency (100% up
is an octave up, while 100% down is DC). When FreqJitter is zero, no random deviations are added to
the Frequency.
Pan
Stereo position of each grain (where 0 is hard left, 0.5 is in the middle, and 1 is hard right).
PanJitter
The amount of random jitter added to the Pan value when a new grain starts up. The larger this number,
the more diffuse the apparent location, and the smaller the number, the more localized the sound.
Seed
A starting point for the random number generator. It should be a number between 0 and 1. Each
different seed number results in a different (but repeatable) sequence of random numbers. When adding
several GrainClouds with the same control parameters together in a Mixer, give each of them a different
seed in order to ensure that each of them has *different* random jitter added to its parameters (otherwise,
they will just double each other).
