QUARTET CHORUS ENSEMBLE1101
Phase
The Random Phase function randomly alters the phase of the grains to create a “bubbly” kind of effect, caused by
phase cancellation. This is especially noticeable when the Jitter parameter (see “Jitter”) is set to a low value.
Size
This controls the grain length. High values produce a more smooth effect, whereas low values generate more of a
“stuttering” effect.
Mod Depth
This randomly changes the initial pitch of the grains.
Jitter
The Jitter function modulates the grain playback position randomly. The Jitter function can be great for generating
chorus-like effects and to make a sound more “alive”, depending on the other settings.
Density
The Density function is a combination of grain size, playback rate and the amount of grain overlap. High values pro-
duce a really fat and dense chorus/ensemble effect, whereas low values generate a “thinner” effect.
