Back to the ODD-1.
They just put out a video with an explanation of their “time path” function, and some ways to use it, along with envelopes.
You definitely could work up ways to do similar things with other granular synths, but this is a nicely packaged feature on the ODD-1.
ADDED : More detail on samples.
Four more videos.
With all eight videos together you can get a pretty comprehensive view of what all is part of this system. Where you can take it will only come once you get a chance to perform on it.
