Understanding the granular sampler

The term “granular” in “granular sampler” comes from the word “grain”.

This feature lets you create new sounds from “grains”, which are samples split into minute sections.

You can control the grain-related parameters listed below to alter the original image of the sound.

• Change the size and playback position of a grain
• Increase the number of grains
• Randomly change the grain playback direction, stereo position (pan), etc.

On the P-6, the function for using and playing grains is called the “granular sampler”.

You can use the granular sampler on the P-6 to create sounds from samples you’ve already recorded.
