The idea I had, was making an X/Y kinda setup for a Granulizer. IE: X would control the granulization, Y could control the pitch, or whatever else was linked to it.
I also thought that if it could sync to the host BPM, it would be alot easier to just make it so it worked not by seconds, or milliseconds, but by 1/4th, 1/2th, etc etc of a note. I'm not sure if i'm wording this correctly, but I'm hoping people will get the idea that I'm going for.
I'm not very familiar with Synthmaker, nor do I understand the mathmatics behind it all, but that doesnt mean I cant learn 😀

From what I know, SM stores no info about the BPM (thinking of it, I can't remember which MIDI message brings that). You could do it using a timer, though. You let the user control the tempo with a knob or a slider, and then based on that you trigger tempo-based actions.

There's a "Timing info" component that appears to output BPM from the host when it's exported as a VST.

Indeed, it works a treat. I've used it for a few things and the exported VST/i picks up the host tempo fine (at least in Tracktion and eXT).
Interesting idea BTW, I've been looking up granular synthesis - not too familiar with it but seems really interesting 🙂

If you're using BPM synced grains, you should be able to go quite extreme on the pitching, even with the most basic delay based method. A stuck buffer effect would be a nice addition to this also, I reckon.
