Speed refers to the pitch of the grain. It is defined in percentage and ranges from -4 to 4. 1 means no pitch shifting. 2 means a double pitch. Values from 1 to 4 scales the pitch up, from 1 down to 0 down. Values below 0 represent backwards pitch shifting (-1 without pitch shift, 0 to -1 pitch down, -1 to -4 pitch up).
No sample rate conversions are made so that you hear up- and down-sampling errors. This is what makes the crusher so aggressive! Use the modulation to create scratch effects on longer grains.
Sweep determinate a changing pitch-shifting during the grain is alive. Positive values increases the speed during the grains lifetime, negative values decrease the speed. Use this to "wet" the sound! Longer grains will sounds like water drops with Sweep amounts different from 0.
In the Cloud 3D window the Speed is represented by the color of the grain: blue means 1%, white means 200%, and red is the 100% neutral color. The Direction is shown by a triangle in the middle of the grain. Sweep is represented by a colored + or - sign. The color of the sign represent the amount. |
