What you want is Adern's FleXor

Check the 'Modules' page and you'll find:
  • Granular
  • Displacer
  • Regroover
  • Granular sequencer
  • Pitcher Control
  • Pitcher engine
  • Pitcher engine fb
Not necessarily granular in the same sense as Reason's Maelstrom or certain csound cloud-synthesis algorithms but nonetheless offers up VERY interesting possibilities for Mod II/III users.

The Adern granular objects are 'full ability' for what they offer. However the term 'granular' when used in a sound-design sense still applies to many different algorithms and processes.

The main limitation to doing anything (including granular synthesis) on Mod II/III or even the full Scope platform is the PCI card's limited access to main system ram. This means that direct-from-disk streaming samplers and massive wavetable-based calculations (be they convolution, granular, fft/stft or whatever) are going to do better in native software or on a dsp system that has a built in RAM pool.

The real question though is what are YOU looking to do? Describe and/or provide examples and the modular experts here can surely help you figure out how to implement it in Mod II/III (or some variation of it at least).

thanx for so word for word answer..
i think i meaned thats beutiful sounds like reason malstrom makes,effects on voices like in a "matrix" movie when Neo takes a pill u remember?. I have some vst plugins doing something like this.Heizerbox VST and Granulab.They are great but imho they do a bad changes with the audio and very uncomfortable to use.THats why i want to know
what the best way to make experiments like thats.I have CW scope synths (no flexor yet) and G2 modular.
