Effects Design With the Raster 2
The Raster 2 combines delay, modulation, pitch, phase, and frequency shifting (all in stereo). It is capa-
ble of a wide range of delay-, pitch-, and amplitude-based effects. Some effects can be acheived multi-
ple ways, with slightly different sounds. Some are approximations of commonly-used techniques, which
give you familar effects with unique textures.
We will expand this section with more effects and details in future versions of the manual, and stay
tuned to our YouTube channel or social media for video tutorials.
Basic Delay
Set the alternate controls (gray labels) to 12:00. Start with all toggle switches in their center positions.
Set
RATE and DEPTH to minimum (7:00). Set the SHIFT control to noon and turn off the SHIFT
footswitch. The
BLEND, FDBK, and DELAY control act as a three knob delay. The delay range switch will
change the delay time to 400 ms, 800 ms, or 1600 ms.
To have the
BLEND control act as an effect level control instead of wet/dry blend, use the editor to set
the bypass mode to
FX Level.
Analog Voiced Delay
Start with the "Basic Delay" sound. Set the tone control (
[ALT]-FDBK) to 9:00 or lower for a dark delay
sound.
Modulated Delay
Start with the "Basic Delay" or "Analog Voiced Delay" sound. Set the modulation
WAVE to sine (
●○○○
)
or triangle (
●●○○
) and adjust the
RATE and DEPTH controls for a modulated delay sound.
Try the smooth random waveform (
○○●●
) for a constantly changing sound.
Stacked Delays
Use the series structure ( ) so that the left delay is fed into the right (page 6). Set the delay L/R ratio
(
[ALT]-DELAY) between 8:00-9:00 so the first (left) delay is shorter (1:3 or 3:8 ratio). Set the DELAY con-
trol around 1:00 using the medium delay range ( ). Start with the
FDBK control around 10:30.
Set
WAVE to triangle (
●●○○
). Set the modulation depth left/right balance (
[ALT]-DEPTH) to 5:00 so
no modulation is applied to the first (left) delay, then set the
RATE and DEPTH controls to 9:00 for sublte
pitch modulation.
