Hm... The docs seem pretty clear here: igskip and ilength says 
what section of the (mono soundfile) wavetable you want to use. 
igskip = seconds into the table, ilength = seconds of table to 
use, starting from igskip. So the table must at least be of 
the length igskip+ilength. Now I haven't tried it in quite
a while, but I presume those "seconds" are relative to sr - if
sr=44100, one second should be 44100 sample points in the table.

I've always preferred fof2/fog for granular synthesis, while some 
recommend sndwarp. These ugens give k-rate control over the starting 
point of grains (allowing both time-stretching / pitch shifting 
and randomised granular textures), while granule has most interesting 
params as i-time variables. It might faster for dense textures though.
But not for me to tell you how to make music; just have fun.
