this is something that is more common in digital systems.
a granular device is usually a sampler, which is able to chop
a signal into lots of tiny grains. then each grain gets a new
pitch, a new envelope and a new time position. this way you can
create completely new sounds out of any audio signal.

granular synthesis is standard with software like reaktor from
native instruments for example. i don't know if such a device
can be developed for an analogue system, because from my
understanding it is clearly digital. maybe we can achieve similar
sounds with a combination of the sampler module, the pll and the
forthcoming vc delay. anyway i think that the digital solution is
much better for this task.

best wishes
