DELAY + RND
The DELAY knob sets the maximum delay time. The PARAM knob sets the randomization range. The
CHOP knob controls how often the delay time is changed (size of the audio slices). Short delays create a
chorusing sound. Use longer delays for random beat slicing eects.
With tap tempo, try setting DELAY to a whole note and CHOP to 1/8th or 1/16th note.
PITCH + DTUNE
The PITCH knob sets +/- 1 octave pitch shift. The PARAM knob controls the amount of random detuning
around the set pitch. Each grain is detuned by a random amount, so the CHOP knob controls how smooth
or stepped the eect is.
Lower settings of the PARAM knob will introduce slight detuning, similar to a dual-oscillator synth. As
the PARAM knob is increased, the amount of detuning and number of simultaneous grains will increase.
Higher settings will create pitch clouds.
For organ-like sounds, use little or no detuning (PARAM), +1 octave pitch shift, and high FDBK. The
CHOP knob can be used to fine-tune the pitch shifting, and at higher settings it will introduce a slight
delay between repeats. That is useful for creating "power up" video game sound eects from percussive
sounds.
For chorus or reverb-like sounds, set the PITCH knob for no shift (12:00), use the PARAM knob to add
a bit of detuning, and increase FDBK to create a reverberant sound. The CHOP knob will adjust the
smoothness of the eect.
PITCH + LFO
The PITCH knob controls the range of pitch shift, from one octave down to one octave up. Within that
range, the pitch ramps at a frequency set by the PARAM knob. The pitch changes with each new grain, so
the CHOP knob controls how smooth or stepped the eect is. FDBK can be used to smooth out the eect.
