The Fable creates new sonic adventures with five granular delay programs centered around sample and chop algorithms.
Granular is a digital processing technique of micro-sampling, where short samples called grains are read from a delay buffer. With the Fable, you can adjust these grains by manipulating their sampling length, position, and buffer size from which they’re read.
They can be played at double or half speed for pitch shift and time stretching effects, in reverse, read from multiple positions, and more, in order to achieve different effects.
Programs:
Reverse Delay into Reverse Granular
Program 1 runs a reverse delay into a reverse granular algorithm, in which sampled grains are played backwards. Reversal and re-reversal build up in the feedback paths, creating a complex and organically shifting soundscape.
Forward Delay into Octave Up Granular
Program 2 runs a forward delay into an octave-up granular program, in which sampled grains are played at double speed. Swarms of double-speed grains build up in the feedback path for bright and airy cascades of sound.
Analog Delay into Octave Down Granular
Program 3 runs a warm, dark analog-style delay into an octave-down granular program, in which sampled grains are played back at half speed. Slowed down repeats combine with analog-style processing to create deep, thunderous footfalls and thick, murky ambience.
Multi-Tap Granular into Multi-Tap Granular (Grain-Verb)
Program 4 runs two multi-tap granular algorithms in series, in which multiple samples are played back from each granular buffer simultaneously. Multiple points of sampled sound build upon each other in the feedback paths to create glitchy clouds and unique organic reverberance.
Forward Delay into Randomised Pitch Granular
Program 5 runs a forward delay into a randomised pitch granular program, in which each grain is played back at a randomly selected speed and direction, varying between pitched up double speed, pitched down half speed, normal speed, plus forward and reversed playback from grain to grain.
