Pitch with grain density
DELAY + DENS
The delay knob sets the delay time. The param knob controls the density of grains, breaking the incom-
ing audio down into blips at lower settings. The chop and param knobs interact in this mode. Get VO-
SIM-like eects by setting the chop and delay knobs equal with feedback cranked up.
When the CHOP and PARAM knobs are both at higher settings, the audio will perfectly overlap.
DELAY + LFO
Steps through the delay buer at a rate set by the parameter knob. The DELAY knob sets the length of
the audio buer (maximum delay time). Audio plays at normal speed with the param knob at 12:00, is
stretched at lower settings, and compressed at higher settings. The chop knob adjusts the length of each
playback slice. Results can be similar to subtle phasing with short delay times. Longer delays create
time stretching, skip/repeat, and glitchy robot sounds.
For time stretching, adjust the CHOP knob to minimize or maximize audio artifacts.
DELAY + REV
Reverse delay with delay time set by DELAY knob. The PARAM knob controls the probability of each
grain playing forward or reverse. Fully counterclockwise gives a reverse delay. At 12:00, grains are
equally likely to play forward and reverse. The CHOP knob sets the grain size, but also imposes a mini-
mum delay. Longer grains reduce artifacts, especially for sustained sounds. Very short grains produce
glitchy tremolo sounds.
For live reverse delay, use tap tempo with DELAY and CHOP set to the same note division. You can also
set CHOP to a smaller note division, so that the phrase is rewound in smaller chunks.
DELAY + PITCH
The delayed signal is randomly pitch shifted up or down by the amount set by the PARAM knob. The DE-
LAY knob sets the delay time. The CHOP knob controls how often the pitch changes.
