Concatenative synthesis is a sub-set of granular synthesis that uses audio descriptors to create a navigable grain-space by mapping any two features to the X and Y axes - this versatile sampling technique lends itself to expressive performances and automations.

By grouping grains in this way, you can use audible characteristics of sound to traverse grains in a way you're probably unfamiliar with in granular synthesis - a very intuitive and meaningful way, that is.

As you'd expect for a granular synth, there is grain-level randomization

Randomization and modulation are at the core of the synth, from extreme to very subtle morphing attainable with carefully tuned parameter curves, there are countless sweet-spots to find in just a small set of controls.

* Note modes allow you to choose how note pitches affect the synth.

*  Time Quantization lets you use divisions of the current tempo to trigger your grains.

*  Pitch Quantization options allow you to achieve complex micro-tonal, harmonious just-intonation or musical equal-tempered results from the very same control 

*  Built-in modulators (3 envelopes + 4 LFOs) with expressive shaping algorithms and various trigger modes allow for a wide range of automated movement.
