In this mode, the grains are generated continuously, at a
rate set by the DENSITY knob
DENSITY CV input (5).
At 12 o'clock, no grains are generated. Turn DENSITY CW
and grains will be generated at a randomly modulated rate,
or CCW for a constant generation rate. The further you turn,
the shorter the interval between grains, reaching at the
extreme the period of a C3 note.
Clocked
When latched grain generation is enabled, and when a
signal, such as a clock or sequence, is patched into the
SEED input (4), the DENSITY knob
divider or probability control. At 12 o'clock, no grains are
generated. Turn CW to increase the probability (from 0% to
100%) that a grain is triggered by the external signal. Turn
CCW to increase the division ratio, from 1/16 to 1.
Gated and triggered
Disable latched grain generation with a short press on the
SEED button [C].
Grains will then be generated only when the SEED button is
held, or when a gate signal patched in the SEED input
high. The DENSITY knob
grains. When DENSITY is at 12 o'clock, only a single grain
will be played at each press of the SEED button, or at each
trigger sent in the SEED input (4).
When grain density reaches audio rates, the DENSITY CV
input (5) applies exponential FM on this rate, with a scale
of 1V/octave.
