4. AN OVERVIEW OF CREATING A SOUND
The STRAYLIGHT is built from a custom granular engine with hand-tailored audio sources routed
through matching effects and modulators. In addition to the primary granular engine, there is also
a sample layer that can be used for complimentary sonic tasks like background noise, envelope
attacks, tonal centering or pads.
To build your own sound and get a feel for the STRAYLIGHT workflows, follow these steps:
Grain Engine
1. Select your Grain source and determine the behavior of the Granular engine. Sources for the
Granular engine can be chosen at the top left of the instrument, and using the Search Icon
you can browse Presets that are categorized by Origin, Pitch, Style and Character.
2. Adjust the Start position and set the Range and Length of the Grain sample playback.
3. Introduce some movement into your sound by adjusting the Scan and Jitter parameters in the
Cursor section. The Scan control will determine the speed and direction in which the cursor
moves, and the Jitter control will determine the random position of each grain.
4. Adjust the envelope section to determine the attack and decay of the Grain source.
5. Assign the Detune control to the X axis and apply a subtle Modulation Amount. As you move
the cursor of the XY pad, you will hear the fine deviations in pitch.
Modulation and Effects
1. In the Modulation pane, route an LFO to the Shaper and assign the Shaper to any modulata-
ble parameter by choosing S1 from the corresponding menu. Adjust the modulation amount
with the slider underneath the drop down menu.
2. Open the Send FX pane and turn up the level of the Delay for the Grain layer. Now select a
preset from Effect type dropdown until you find a delay character that works with your Grain
sound. Assign the Time and Feedback parameters to the X and Y axis respectively.
3. In the Effect page, select a Filter and assign the Cutoff to the Y axis. Assign the Resonance
control to the X axis, and move the cursor up and down to hear the filter open as the Delay
send effect becomes more intense.
Sample Engine
1. Sources for the Sampler engine can be chosen at the top right of the instrument. Using the
Search Icon allows you to browse sample presets that are categorized by Type, Pitch, Origin
and Style.
2. Transpose the Sample layer to -1 octave or use the Tune to finely tune the sample to compli-
ment the Grain sample source.
3. Extend the Filter Modulation and Amp envelopes to create a more expansive sound, then as-
sign LFO 2 to the Volume parameter to create a tremolo effect.
4. In the Modulation pane, set LFO 2 to a fast setting to create the rapid deviations in volume
that define tremolo.
