In practice grains can be up to 100ms.
Some of the parameters of granulation:
- grain length (1 -100ms, but this )
- grain envelope (the envelope of each single grain, e.g. triangle,
trapezoid, gaussian etc.)
- grain density (can be measured or described in different ways but it's
the number of grains played in a certain amount of time, the more the
grains the 'denser' the sound)
etc.
There are many granular tools out there for linux. I made a
'minimalistic' one with Pd if anyone were interesterd
