There is also a granular "sound" that can be accomplished in many ways, many of them probably not even involving granular techniques per se - e.g. I think every granular synth (and there aren't really that many of these) probably has a completely different take on this. They just refer to manipulating grains of sound in some way. In general, by the way, the words "granular" or "granular synthesis" don't really have a very precise meaning.
Soundhack for mac Pc#
I am fairly certain that there are no free granular synths for the mac, though there may be a few for the pc (try the kvr db). There are a few more granular effects that are popular but that I haven't gotten so much out of myself (KTGranulator). Also, there is still the venerable (but now UB) soundhack for spectral and some granular stuff, and the recent soundhack delay package has some granular stuff. It sounds like you're using a pc, but if not, there's some good granular processing in the soundmagic spectral pack. I cannot over-emphasize how much you can do with this thing and racks.
Also, the built-in grain delay (combined with sampler, or even just an audio track) is a fantastic device, if you like weirdness (ranging from subtle to not) and sample manipulation. Henke's demo video for some granular-type stuff). Probably the most important thing for achieving a tim hecker type effect imo would be skills with a sampler, combined with a great collection of samples (Ableton's Sampler would be a good one for this, cf.
