8.5.2 Grain Delay
The Grain Delay on the software
By chopping the input into small “grains,” the Grain Delay is useful for creating ambient
textures. Increase Size, Space and Density to quickly transform any sound into an evolving
ambient texture. As a unique experimental effect, it is best experienced rsthand.
Grain
pItCh
Determines the pitch of the grains: low values result in
a deep, slowly repeating grain, high values speed up the
grain, making it sound faster and higher.
SIzE Denes the length of the grains.
jIttEr Introduces artifacts into the grains.
rEv
This button if activated results in reverse playback of the
grain.
Cloud
SpaCE
Determines the spacing between the grain clouds: the
higher the value, the bigger the space between the clouds.
dEnSIty
Creates a more “dense” cloud: higher values create feed-
back-like effects.
mod The amount of modulation introduced to the grain cloud.
Output
mIx
mIx lets you adjust the amount of the effect in relation to
the dry original audio signal.
