GR-7 Grain Delay
Grains read from the last four seconds of your sound
GR-7 Grain Delay records the last four seconds of whatever plays through it and reads that recording back as grains from 5 ms to 1 s long, up to 16 in each burst. Bursts start on your song’s grid or up to 200 times a second, any grain can be moved up to two octaves onto notes you pick or played backwards, and Freeze stops the recording so the grains keep reading the same four seconds.

What each knob does to the cloud
Hold
Stretches each piece longer and slower until the cloud hangs in the air.
What it moves
How long each piece is, how widely they scatter back in time and how slowly the cloud moves through your sound.
How it was made
GR-7 Grain Delay is built on Live Grain, a granular engine of Studio 56’s own that keeps the last four seconds of what you play and replays them as grains. Studio 56 measured the engine against a written spec of its own, including checks that, on a steady noise, the cloud stays within a decibel of your sound’s loudness with anywhere from 1 to 64 grains overlapping.
- Grains moved up to two octaves, held to octaves, fifths, chords or a scale, with any share of them played backwards.
- Freeze stops the recording, so the grains keep reading the same four seconds for as long as it is on.
- A filter, a chorus, an echo, a plate reverb and a compressor after the grains.
