Abstract
Abstract EmissionControl2 (EC2) is a precision tool that provides a versatile and expressive platform for granular synthesis education, research, performance, and studio composition. It is available as a free download on all major operating systems. In this article, we describe the theoretical underpinnings of the software and expose the design choices made in creating this instrument. We present a brief historical overview and cover the main features of EC2, with an emphasis on per-grain processing, which renders each grain as a unique particle of sound. We discuss the graphical user interface design choices, the theory of operation, and intended use cases that guided these choices. We describe the architecture of the real-time per-grain granular engine, which emits grains in synchronous or asynchronous streams. We conclude with an evaluation of the software.
期刊介绍：
Computer Music Journal is published quarterly with an annual sound and video anthology containing curated music¹. For four decades, it has been the leading publication about computer music, concentrating fully on digital sound technology and all musical applications of computers. This makes it an essential resource for musicians, composers, scientists, engineers, computer enthusiasts, and anyone exploring the wonders of computer-generated sound.
Edited by experts in the field and featuring an international advisory board of eminent computer musicians, issues typically include:
In-depth articles on cutting-edge research and developments in technology, methods, and aesthetics of computer music
Reports on products of interest, such as new audio and MIDI software and hardware
Interviews with leading composers of computer music
Announcements of and reports on conferences and courses in the United States and abroad
Publication, event, and recording reviews
Tutorials, letters, and editorials
Numerous graphics, photographs, scores, algorithms, and other illustrations.
