Blending modes
Press the Blending mode/Audio quality button re-
peatedly to select one of the four blending modes. The
current mode is indicated by a green LED.
Dry/wet balance
The BLEND knob and its CV input control the balance
between the original signal and the granularized signal.
Crossfade/rotation
The BLEND knob and its CV input progressively swap the
position of the left and right channels. The L output will
thus crossfade from L to R, and the R output from R to L.
Feedback
The BLEND knob and its CV input control the amount of
output signal reinjected back into the input of the mod-
ule. This mode is capable of very abrasive tones!
Reverb
The BLEND knob and its CV input control the amount of
digital reverberation applied to the output signal.
Audio quality
Hold the Blending mode/Audio quality button for
one second, then press it repeatedly to select the
recording quality. The current quality setting is
indicated by a red LED.
Rate Resolution Channels Buffer time
32kHz 16-bit stereo 1s
32kHz 16-bit mono 2s
16kHz 8-bit µ-law stereo 4s
16kHz 8-bit µ-law mono 8s
Changing audio quality erases the audio buffer.
Beyond granularization...
Setting the DENSITY and TEXTURE knobs to their ex-
tremes activates variations of the granular processing al-
gorithm. Grain position, size, and rate are then optimized
to generate a continuous stream of sound.
