Granular Delay

Granular Delay is an effect on the RC-505 and RC-505mkII. It repeats a short portion of a sound, giving it a buzzy character or producing the effect of playing a roll.

Parameters

Name	Value	Description	Notes
Time	0–100	Specifies the spacing of the repeats.	Can be controlled by the Input Fx/Track Fx knobs.
Feedback	0–100	Specifies the length that will be repeated.
E.Level	0–100	Adjusts the volume level of the effect.

Time

The Time parameter defines the interval between each grain. Most of these intervals are small enough to produce musical notes. Below is a table listing each Time value and their corresponding note. The header row indicates its pitch, and the header column indicates its octave.
