The DENSITY knob [D] selects a subdivision of this duration.
Turn the knob further away from 12 o’clock to use shorter
subdivisions. From 12 o’clock to fully CCW, only binary sub-
divisions will be used. From 12 o’clock to fully CW, a wider
variety of ratios are available.
Delaying or slicing
When FREEZE [B] is not engaged, Beads operates as a
delay. The TIME knob [E] selects the actual delay time, as
a multiple of the base delay time set by DENSITY and/or by
the external clock or taps.
When FREEZE [B] is engaged, a slice from the recording
buffer is continuously looped. The duration of a slice is equal
to the base delay time. The TIME knob [E] selects which
slice is played.
The SHAPE knob [H] applies a tempo-synchronized enve-
lope on the repeats. For normal operation, turn it fully CCW.
PITCH [F] applies a classic rotary-head pitch-shifting effect
on the delayed signal. At 12 o’clock, the pitch-shifter is
bypassed.
Slow random LFOs are internally routed to the attenuran-
domizers [I].
