Frequently Asked Questions

Granular delays chop audio into tiny 'grains' and manipulate them individually, creating stutter, shimmer, and complex textures not possible with standard delay algorithms.
While it *can* do basic delay, the Particle 2 excels at more experimental sounds; achieving a pristine, transparent delay is difficult and not its primary purpose.
It's not immediately obvious—expect a significant investment of time to fully grasp the possibilities and create your own unique sounds, but the payoff is substantial.
