Sampling and Granular Synthesis Techniques | Workshop | April 20, 2025

Sampling and Granular Synthesis Techniques Workshop
In my studio, using my own equipment, we will deeply explore the use of samples in electronic music and granular synthesis techniques. In this intensive four-hour program, we’ll cover many important topics step-by-step — from the fundamentals of sampling to advanced sample manipulation. We’ll work with various analog and digital tools, primarily Ableton Live, examining both the technical and creative processes together.
Granular synthesis has become very popular in recent years, widely used by many producers. The digital fragmentation and restructuring of sounds is applied across various fields — from film scoring to experimental electronic music. This workshop is valuable not only for musicians but also for sound engineers, sound designers, foley artists, and filmmakers. It offers both a creative and technical perspective, addressing a wide range of applications.
Workflow: Ableton Live & Analog Equipment
In this workshop, we’ll select sounds from different sources (organic and synthetic) to create unique sounds using advanced techniques such as one-shot and loop samples, granular synthesis applications, sample-based FM synthesis, and multisampling.
