Granular Audio-Building Synthesizers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Granular Synthesizer' Lets Users Slowly Build Audio

— December 28, 2019 — Tech
The 'Granular Synthesizer' is the design work of Dylan Wiener and is an external audio solution that will enable users to slowly build audio works bit by bit. Boasting a highly portable design, the peripheral can be used separately before being connected to a laptop or PC to export the audio creation. The interface on the unit consists of six wheels, three buttons and a black-and-white display to make it simple enough for users of all experience levels to utilize.

The 'Granular Synthesizer' is focused on providing a simple user experience that allows for audio tracks to be built using small sounds one by one. This helps to go against the traditionally complicated design of synthesizers that often feature an array of knobs, outputs, inputs and cables.
Trend Themes
1. Granular Audio Synthesis - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop user-friendly granular audio synthesis software for music producers looking for a simpler way to build audio tracks.
2. Portable Audio Solutions - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create compact and portable audio peripherals that allow users to create and export audio works with ease.
3. Simplified Audio Interfaces - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design intuitive, user-friendly audio interfaces featuring minimal buttons and displays for a more accessible experience.
Industry Implications
1. Music Production - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative tools and software for musicians and music producers to enhance their creativity and workflow.
2. Consumer Electronics - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative audio peripherals and devices that offer user-friendly features and convenient portability.
3. Software Development - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build user-friendly software solutions for audio synthesis and production, catering to both novice and experienced users.
