How to slow down the granulator?

Post by xkx » Mon Aug 15, 2022 8:10 am

Hi

I'm using the granulator a lot these days, but I was wondering if there is a way to slow down the scanning process. I like long slow drones, and some times the grains are scanning too quickly. The only way to do this is to warp the recorded granular piece, and you get that horrible warpy metallic taste afterwards.


There has to be an easier way?

Thanks

Dania

What modulation source movers the scanner?

Chances are it is an LFO. Maybe an Envelope.

Try changing the speed of one of those.

The "time" Scan parameter has a very wide range... Is it not enough for what you want to achieve?

Simple, you want to look for the 'Time' control in the 'Scan' section.

Higher % will slow down the scanning.

You should try PaulXStretch, if you're into that kind of thing.
