Then granular synthesis is quite popular, but apart from simple pitch/time shifting it is to be rather difficult to use sucessfully.
In my (still not deep) experience it requires accurate choice and exploration of the sample(s) you are using. Also a granulation patch can be used to achieve many different things depending on the scales of values of the parameters that you are using: it can be a pitch shifter or a randomized sampler or kind-of riverberator. I find this really fascinating and in next months I would like to explore it working together with other synthesis techniques. Control on the granulation sequencer may be relevant and expressive when you are working at lower granulation frequencies.
