Strands
Strands is a delay/micro looper with two main operation modes,
time stretch and tape looper, that come in 4 variations each.
It can be used like a delay pedal, loop short audio bits, create
evolving rhythmic or melodic patterns...
The overall memory size, delay and looping time, can be adjusted
with the fidelity knob.Turning it up will increase the audio quality,
but reduce the memory size, and vice versa.The audio memory
varies between a bit less than a second to a bit over 3 seconds.
The fidelity knob will also have an effect on other aspects of
sound processing, like filter ranges, response of time based
elements like LFO's, envelope detectors etc.
The left footswitch allows you to loop the current content of the
buffer. As the looped audio is recirculating through the buffer,
eventually it will start to degrade, after a few minutes.This too is
dependent on the fidelity setting.
