GRAIN PANNING MODES
There are 2 panning modes: Random and Travel, both share the same principle of
panning distribution as shown in the graphic below
GRAIN TRIGGERING
(New)
This feature allows to trigger grains into life using the [GRAINS N.] input.
This input can diferentiate between CV and Gate signals and will auto-
matically adjust it’s function to the input detected.
When using a CV the input will respond normally and add/subtract
grains according to the CV amplitude and the [GRAINS ACTIVE] knob
position.
When using a Gate signal (10ms minimum) at every ON signal it will
increase the grain count by 1 until the maximum grains count is reached.
For this Gate detection to be effective the [GRAINS ACTIVE] knob must be
below 1/4 of it’s range, at it’s leftmost point it will have no permanent
grains and will trigger them according to the Gate detection, up to 1/4
of the knob range it will add some permanent grains and still add more
according to the Gate detection. Beyond the 1/4 range the Gate signal
will be interpreted as a CV input.
When these grains finish playing they will be erased and wait for more
gate signals.
It can happen that when using random signals some fast CV amplitude
changes will be interpreted as a Gate signal.
In both modes a new random value is generated at the start of the grain
- FIXED MODE
The grain will be positioned on the stereo field as indicated by the
random value generated at the start and will remain static until the end
of the grain. In other words the grains will always appear in a new
random position.
- TRAVEL MODE
The grain will start wherever it was positioned at the end of the previous
grain and, during it’s length, it will travel on the stereo field towards the
position indicated by the random value generated. In other words the
grains will always be moving in the stereo field.
