Grain Delay

Delay
Ableton

Grain Delay is a delay effect that slices the input signal into tiny particles called grains, which are then individually delayed and can have different pitches compared to the original signal. By randomizing pitch and delay time, it creates complex masses of sound and rhythm useful for generating new textures and experimental effects.

Key Features

  • Grain-based delay processing with individual pitch and delay per grain
  • Sync mode with beat division chooser (delay time in 16th notes)
  • Spray control for random delay time variations
  • Pitch transposition with Random Pitch parameter for chorusing to unintelligible effects
  • Feedback parameter for signal regeneration and oscillation
  • X-Y controller with assignable parameters on horizontal and vertical axes
  • Dry/wet control routable to X-Y controller vertical axis
