Halftone

Halftone splits your sound into two lines, A and B, that read the same input. Each line has its own pitch shifter, its own tape drift and its own filters and position in the stereo field. Then it cuts between them, grain by grain, in a ratio you choose: two grains of A for every grain of B, or seven to one.

Smooth sets how softly the grains cross, Random scrambles the order and the length of the grains. Ink Heat saturates some grains and not others, like ink that soaks the paper unevenly. Smear adds close, hard reflections that blur into a dark wash as you turn it up.
