Grain Main Frame Update 0.2
Watch this on YouTube!
In this screencast, first I record & resample that recording. The red ball shows in the middle while recording. Then I record and playback mouse movements while switching the sample. The whole background changes color when recording and playing mouse movements.

Obsession with Granular Synthesis
Posted by admin in Development on March 12, 2010
I have been very interested in granular synthesis lately, so I thought I would share my findings. Because of my crazy obsession with noises, I have been using some of the tools below. Soon, I hope to develop something similar to SoundGrain, Sampletoy, and Granulab. I thought maybe some other noise nerds of the world would be interested in these references, and could let me know about other tools out there.
Applications
SoundGrain (Video Above) | Granulab (Not pretty but amazing sounds) | Atomic Cloud | ChaosSynth | Ambient Grains| Granulator | SampleToy(Awesome iPhone app) | Curtis Heavy
Plug-ins
Alchemy (A very nice VST on my wish list) | Grainbot | +bubbler | KTGranulator | Granola | grANALiser | GrainSkan | Fragmental | GranulOSO | GrainFreeze | GGrain | Organik | ParticleCloud | Dropout | Minerva | Pudding | SideSlip | Stwetch | Muchacho | Grainz | Grapheed | Scope

HasCanvas allows you to create Processing apps in a browser that supports the Canvas tag. (so not IE) That site uses the javascript library from Processing.js which is a port of the Processing.org library. They have a live browser IDE here.
You can find projects at: Open Processing , Processingjs.org , Processing.org , Dave Bollinger , Minim , Creative Applications
