The Walrus Audio Fable is a unique and powerful delay pedal that invites you to explore the depths of granular synthesis. With its five distinct granular delay programs, dual feedback paths, and intuitive controls, the Fable unlocks a world of sonic possibilities, from smooth and ambient textures to glitchy and chaotic soundscapes.

Granular Synthesis Meets Delay

The Fable combines the magic of granular synthesis with the versatility of delay, creating a truly unique sonic experience. Granular synthesis involves manipulating tiny fragments of sound (grains) to create evolving textures and otherworldly soundscapes. The Fable allows you to adjust the grain size, position, and playback speed, among other parameters, to craft a wide range of sonic textures.

Five Unique Granular Delay Programs

The Fable offers five distinct granular delay programs, each with its own character and sonic possibilities. Explore reverse delays and reverse granular textures, create shimmering octave-up cascades, or delve into the depths of octave-down ambience. The Grain-Verb program combines two multi-tap granular algorithms for glitchy clouds and organic reverberance, while the randomized pitch program adds unpredictable pitch shifts and sonic surprises to your delays.

Dual Feedback Paths for Complex Textures

The Fable's dual feedback paths, powered by two independent DSP chips, allow you to create complex and evolving soundscapes. The Feedback and Regen knobs control the feedback levels of each path, allowing you to build layers of sound, create swirling textures, and explore the boundaries of sonic experimentation.

Intuitive Controls and Expressive Performance

Despite its complex capabilities, the Fable is surprisingly easy to use. The intuitive controls allow you to quickly dial in a wide range of sounds, from subtle textures to chaotic glitches. The X knob provides additional control over each program's unique parameters, allowing you to fine-tune your sound and unlock the full potential of granular synthesis.
