Idea for a new touch mode

Hi,
The old mini kaoss pad by Korg had an interesting glitch effect called the grainshifter, never seen it anywhere else. I loved that effect but it was always a struggle to use the kaoss pad for guitar, and I always wished it would exist as a pedal. It uses two parameters so perfect for an extra touch mode on ribbons I thought. Would be cool. :slight_smile:

I’ll check it out!

The name and the reference to the Kaoss Pad reminds me of Ableton’s built-in Grain Delay effect:

Same wavelength! I really love that effect, too, and have been trying to recreate that on guitar forever. You can get pretty damn close with Repeater, though it doesn’t necessarily have the same type of interactivity/control as the Kaoss Pad. Also, if memory serves, Grain Shifter had a kinda chopped and screwed vibe to it which would be KILLER in a pedal.

I can send u my old mini kp if that helps? Just need to find it.

I just saw there’s a plug-in version, too.
