Beads rythmic clipping noise

I’m out and about now and will tinker more tomorrow. Anything I should be looking at specifically?

Thank you!

At audio rate and with regularly spaced grains, it’ll thus behave like a square oscillator, this is fairly obvious in the video when you sweep DENSITY. This signal is not really meant to be heard, but rather, to trigger further envelopes, sequences, S&H etc in sync w…

Thank you Émilie! I am both embarrassed and relieved! I will now go read the manual.
