Granular Synthesis

Working from the tutorial;
http://www.cs.au.dk/~dsound/DigitalAudio.dir/Papers/IntroToGranSynth.pdf

Additional features utilised within this prototype is the preset object and the encapsulating function. 
Preset; "preset can store and recall the parameters of any specified user interface objects at the click of a mouse."
Encapsulate allows a selection to be encapsulated in a sub-patch tidying up the workspace. These features will be of great use within the prototype.
