There are old stories of a forest in the far north, hidden beyond the places most travelers dare to wander. Once each spring, beneath the first new moon, strange sounds rise from within its depths. No one knows where they come from, but wherever they spread, the forest begins to shift. Things splice and twist back together. Familiar things become unfamiliar. Those who have witnessed it speak of another sight, a flicker of light between the trees, a tiny winged figure disappearing into the darkness before it can be seen clearly. The old stories call them… The Fable. Let your storybook adventure grow with the Fable Granular Soundscape Generator. The Fable generates its wonder with a dual feedback path developed by DSP engineers at Walrus Audio. Your signal runs through two separate effects in series, independently controlled by the Feedback and Regen knobs, and then runs back through both again before heading to the output. What does that mean? Artists will discover unique soundscapes ranging from smooth, flowing ambiance; to bizarre, organic reverberance; to chaotic, glitchy swarms. What exactly is this granular effect and why is it a magical experience when combined with delay? Granular is a digital processing technique of micro-sampling, wherein short samples called grains are read from a delay buffer. In the Fable, players can adjust these grains by manipulating their sampling length, position, and the buffer size they are read from. They can be played at double or half speed for pitch-shift and time-stretching effects, played in reverse, read from multiple positions, and more to achieve different effects. It's a powerful but complex technique, and we've created five streamlined Modes in the Fable that explore different aspects of its sonic range.

Product Features

• Granular delay pedal with 5 programs that turn your guitar into soundscapes, from reversed swells to glitchy swarms
• Dual DSP design runs two FX in series, feeding them back through both chips for evolving, intricate repeats
• Feedback and Regen controls set how each stage of a program builds on itself
• Time, Tone, Mod, Mix, and X controls shape parameters of every program
• True stereo I/O for wide, immersive textures
• Full MIDI control with 3 onboard presets and 127 MIDI presets
• Expression and external tap input, assignable to any knob
• Tweak control offers finer sound shaping of stereo width, mod rate, mod shape, the amount of dive/rise, or the speed of dive/rise
• Tap tempo footswitch keeps delay times locked to the song
