About Gradient
Gradient is a pitch-shifting delay with two units, A and B. Each has its own pitch, delay, feedback and output, so a single instance can make a shimmering octave tail on one side and a detuned slapback on the other.
Run them in Dual mode for two independent voices, Link them so B follows A at a fixed pitch and delay interval, or turn on Cross-feedback so each unit feeds the other.
Features
- Two independent pitch and delay units, A and B.
- Dual, Linked and Cross-feedback modes.
- Pitch of ±24 semitones plus ±50 cents of fine tuning on each unit.
- Regen (feedback) up to 350% per unit, with tempo sync for each delay.
- Three splice modes (Normal, Soft and Smart) and an adjustable crossfade length.
- Drift for slow, random variation.
Controls
Mode
| Control | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Dual Mode | — | Runs unit A on the left channel and unit B on the right, as two independent voices. Off, a single mono engine (unit A) runs, and unit B's controls, Stereo, Link and Cross-fdbk do nothing. |
| Stereo | 0–100% | Blends the two units' outputs toward mono. At 100% A is hard left and B hard right. Dual Mode only. |
| Link | — | Makes B follow A at a fixed interval. Dual Mode only. |
| Link Pitch | ±24 st | Pitch offset of B from A while linked. |
| Link Delay | ±1,000 ms | Delay offset of B from A while linked. |
| Cross-fdbk | — | Feeds each unit into the other. Dual Mode only. |
Splice (each unit)
| Control | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Splice Mode | — | Normal, Soft or Smart: how the pitch shifter joins its grains. |
| XFade | 1–14 ms | Length of the crossfade between grains. |
Pitch (each unit)
| Control | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Pitch | ±24 st | Pitch shift in semitones. |
| Fine | ±50 ct | Fine tuning in cents. |
Delay / Regen (each unit)
| Control | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Sync and Division | — | Locks the delay time to the host tempo, with a note value menu. |
| Delay | 0–1,000 ms | Delay time when Sync is off. |
| Regen | 0–350% | Feedback: how much of the shifted signal returns to the input. |
Drift / Output (each unit)
| Control | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Drift | 0–100% | Adds slow, random instability. Off at 0%. |
| Mix | 0–100% | Wet and dry balance for this unit. |
| Out | −24 to +12 dB | Output level of this unit. |
Global
| Control | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Bypass | — | Bypasses the plugin. |
