The Raster’s modulation section has seven waveforms that can be assigned to delay time, pitch shift, or effect level (for tremolo). It can be pushed to extremes for ring modulation and inharmonic shifted delays that distort and break apart. At subtle settings, repeats evolve in a way that sounds natural, but different from analog delays.īeyond pitch shifting, a combination phase/frequency shifter creates subtle evolving repeats, dissonant harmonies, and barber pole flanging. The left and right channels can be shifted by the same amount, a ratio, or in opposite directions. The detune setting can dial in micro pitch shifts and chorused repeats. Pitch shifting repeats up or down in semitone steps creates tempo-synced arpeggios and alien organ sounds. Arrange the two delay channels either in series, parallel or ping pong. Set the left and right delay times as a ratio, so a single knob changes both in sync. The feedback control has infinite repeats at 3 o’clock and chaotic, textured feedback loops at higher levels.Ī tone control sweeps from dark analog-style repeats to digital clarity and emphasizes the attack at higher settings. Three delay ranges allow you to precisely dial in resonant feedback sounds and instantly change delay time with rhythmic shifts. The core of the Raster™ is a clean delay with up to 1600 milliseconds of delay time. It delivers a wide range of sounds including modulated and harmonized delays, reverse delays, chorus, arpeggios, infinite descents, chaotic self-oscillation, and continuously evolving soundscapes.

The Red Panda Raster 2 is a digital delay with a pitch and frequency shifter integrated into the feedback loop.įorward or reverse delay can shift once or have continuously shifted repeats. 4.35' x 3.25' x 2.Description Red Panda Raster 2 Delay Pedal.shift footswitch and CV/expression input.Phase shift (not available with reverse delay).Detune (down a fourth to up a minor third).By carefully adjusting the delay time and feedback, you can create chaotic self-oscillating drones.Īdjusts output from 100% dry to 100% wet. The delay knob is tuned for short delays. Short delays with high feedback will create resonance or self-oscillation, especially when the shift knob is near zero. At settings above 3:00, the repeats gain in strength for self-oscillation or distorted echoes.ĭelay time, from approximately 20 to 750 milliseconds.

It can be pushed to extremes for ring modulation and inharmonic shifted delays that distort and break apart.Ĭapable of extreme sonic mayhem, it can also be used with restraint to add character to your sound. Two reverse delay modes can be used for reverse solos or with pitch shifting for crystal echoes.īeyond pitch shifting, a phase shifter creates subtle evolving repeats, dissonant harmonies, and barber pole flanging. Repeats can continuously shift up or down, or shift once and remain at that pitch. Slight detuning creates chorused delay sounds, while wider intervals with feedback create strange organ-like textures. The detuning mode gives smooth pitch changes from a fourth down to a minor third up. Repeats can be pitch shifted up or down by an octave in semitone steps. Three pitch shifting algorithms are integrated into the feedback loop. Knob responses are carefully tuned for exploration of self-oscillation and feedback on the verge of blowing up. The feedback control covers a wide range from slapback delay to noisy, textured infinite feedback loops.

The low end of the delay control allows you to precisely dial in resonant feedback sounds. The core of the Raster is a clean delay with up to 750 milliseconds delay time. It delivers a wide range of sounds including harmonized delays, reverse delays, chorus, arpeggios, infinite descents, chaotic self-oscillation, and continuously evolving soundscapes. The Raster is a digital delay with a pitch shifter integrated into the feedback loop. What a fun piece of gear this is! Lots of hours of fun ahead with this.
