Abstract
Sound synthesis using granular (or micro-sonic) techniques offers very attractive possibilities for creating musical sounds. We present a state of the researches conducted at GMEM for an integrated microsound synthesis system. This system includes at once synthesis generators and synthesis control programs, both gestures and sound analysis based control.
