Particle V1 Granular Delay / Pitch Shifter

Red Panda Particle

Check out the updated Particle 2 here!

The Red Panda Particle sounds like a distressed time machine locked in an endless succession of mirrors. Though it essentially twists and mangles bits of the input signal, the result is paradoxically calming. The Particle utilizes granular synthesis and pitch shifting to affect an input signal. This means the pedal takes samples of the incoming audio and repeats them at a faster rate while simultaneously affording other avenues for manipulation. These avenues include an LFO, Random, Reverse, and more. For those looking to implement a granular delay into their repertoire, the Particle is it.
