Csound ugens:
grain - granular textures (grains taken from random points in soundtable)
granule - 4-stream granular synth chords, but many important parameters i- (not k-) rate
sndwarp/st - timestretching/repitching, but only i-rate control of grain length/density
fof2/fog - timestretching, repitching & effects; full k-rate control

IMHO.

There are many programs, you don't mention what system you're on.
You'll find stuff at:
All:  http://www.harmony-central.com/ 
Mac: http://shoko.calarts.edu/~tre/CompMusMac/ 
Mostly Mac/pc: http://www.synthzone.com/softsyn.htm 
Linux: http://www.bright.net/~dlphilp/linux_soundapps.html 
or Stampede for SGI: http://www.kgw.tu-berlin.de/~gb/stampede.html 

Sorry, forgot to mention, I am using Csound 3.52 in Win95.
I should have been more clear in my first message.  I just
heard a Barry Truax CD, (Song of Songs), which uses audio
files for granular synthesis, such as church bells, human
voices, and others.  I guess any old sound file will do, but
I was wondering which kinds of sound files work best, as I
am a complete beginner.  I know there's nothing like 
experimentation, but I was just hoping for a kick start, orcs etc.
