If you had an Unicorn Account you could see a chart with the price development of this module and the average price asked for this module.
The Beads is in excellent condition with alternate Black Magpie Panel.All controls have an excellent feel - see pictures. All input/outputs are in good shape and make solid connections. Comes with power cable, original Silver Panel and OEM box. Used in a smoke-free environment with no pets. I will ship safely and insured via Reverb with the default signature required; thanks for looking. Please feel free to ask any questions.#### from the manufacturer Beads in a nutshellOne way of picturing how Beads operates is to imagine a tape loop, on which incoming audio is continuously recorded.Every time you request a grain to be played (in reaction to a trigger, a button press, periodically, or randomly), a new replay head positions itself along the tape.If this replay head doesn’t move, the audio will be played back at the original pitch and speed, but if it moves closer to, or further away from the record head, the signal will be replayed at a different speed and pitch. This replay head has its own amplitude envelope, and it will leave the tape once the envelope has reached a null amplitude.Now imagine up to 30 replay heads flying along the tape. Imagine you can stop the incoming audio from being record- ed on the tape so that all these little replay heads can freely move along and gather sounds. And there’s a reverb...Beads does not use tape, but RAM. In this manual we use computer-science terminology and refer to this virtual piece of tape as a recording buffer.FeaturesAudio acquisitionStereo I/O with automatic level detection.Manual override of the level detection.Automatic mono/stereo switching through patch cable detection.Recording time: 4s (48kHz 16-bit, stereo) to 32s (24kHz µ-law, mono).Four quality modes, with different tone and reverb characters:48kHz 16-bit32kHz 12-bit with Clouds emulation24kHz 12-bit with a hi-fi dry signal path24kHz µ-law with cassette emulationThe FREEZE button and the gate input freezes the content of the recording buffer, allowing you to dive into its sonic details.Auto-saving of the FREEZE buffer.Granular synthesisThree grain generation modes:Latched (continuous), with a periodic or randomized rate, tracking V/O.Gated, with bursts of grains triggered by the press of the SEED button or an external gate.Clocked, with randomization or division of an external clock or trigger signal.Four grain parameters:TIME. Temporal position within the buffer.SIZE. Grain duration from 0.03 to 4 seconds, forward or backward playback.SHAPE. Morphing between four key shapes of the grain envelope: solid rectangular, snappy decay, smooth bell, or reversed.PITCH. With V/O tracking.AttenurandomizersAvailable for each of the four parameters of a grain, sampled each time a grain is started:Direct CV control.CV control of the amount of gaussian randomization.Internal randomization with an independent, uniform or peaky, random source.DelayControl of both the base delay clock rate (DENSITY), and its multiplication (TIME), with optional random taps.Tap tempo with the SEED button or an external signal.Enveloping of delay repeats, with the SHAPE setting.Pitch shifting of the delayed signal, controlled by PITCH.Signal flowFeedback path delay: 1 sample.Independent knobs for feedback, dry/wet amount, and reverb amount.CV input assignable to each of these three parameters, or to variable combinations of them.When unpatched, the R output is summed to the L output.Optional generation of a gate signal on the R output.SpecificationsAll inputs: 100k impedance.Audio codec: 24kHz, 32kHz or 48kHz, 24-bit.16-bit CV capture.Processing rate: audio-rate for the SEED and FREEZE inputs, 4kHz for the CV inputs.Latency: 0.25ms.CV input range: +/- 8V for grain parameters, +/- 5V for density (with V/O tracking) and assignable CV.Internal processing: 32-bit floating point.
