From Wikipedia
Granular synthesis is a sound synthesis method that operates on the microsound time scale.
It is based on the same principle as sampling. However, the samples are split into small pieces of around 1 to 100 ms in duration, called grains. Multiple grains may be layered on top of each other, and may play at different speeds, phases, volume, and frequency, among other parameters.
