Both footswitches can be latching or momentary, for instant pitch jumps or quick blasts of echo. Alternate knob settings are related to the primary knob function, labeled, and off at the center position. The original Raster was praised for its knob response and immediacy, and the Raster 2 maintains that simplicity while adding flexible modulation and extensive stereo functionality. The Raster 2 is performance friendly, with 6 knobs and 9 switches. Stereo controls adjust the modulation amount and phase between channels, for subtle shifts or swirling psychedelic washes.Ĭapable of extreme sonic mayhem, the Raster can also be used with restraint to add unique character to your sound. Envelope and inverse envelope enable dynamic flanging and pitch bent delays. There are two random waveforms for glitchy pitch jumps, wow and flutter, and broken tape deck effects. 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 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. The two delay channels can be arranged in series, parallel or ping pong. The left and right delay times can be set as a ratio, so a single knob changes both in sync. Knob responses are carefully tuned for exploration of self-oscillation and feedback on the verge of blowing up.Ī tone control sweeps from dark analog-style repeats to digital clarity and emphasizes the attack at higher settings. The feedback control has infinite repeats at 3 o’clock and chaotic, textured feedback loops at higher levels.

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.


Above that the delay with self oscillate and create feedback loops. From completely dry to completely wet signal It features three different styles of feedback and three different shift modes for a total of 8 combinations. From simple digital delay and shimmers to chorusing and flanging to pitch shifted arpeggios and dissonant delayed chaos. The Red Panda Raster is a pitch shifting delay a lot of control offering a wide variety of sounds.
