3 simple questions on GrainstatesFX .ens

I am using the GrainstatesFX on some live elpiano audio, and I have a few simple questions:
1) why is there a generally long delay (on all snaps) before any audio is output at all? I wanted a less delayed response, but a long "tail" is OK.
2) I added a 4ch mixer to also let the pure epno through - is there an easy way to make a fader between the two sources? Currently I am just adjusting each 2-ch pair to my liking.
3) I realise the Grainstates is not excatly what i wanted - I was looking for something slightly different, more like some of the sample mangler ensembles: longer "grains" (tens to hundres of milisecs), and shorter general delay. I want to create something leaning more towards stutters similar to buffer underflows etc (I think, hehe And I want to put live audio into it. Is there something suitable I should look at?

E!

 

a quick point before i go to sleep.

GrainstatesFX does have a Dry/Wet knob.

it comes with a sample looper for demo purposes, but you can play an external audio through it.

the buttons can be activated with your mouse and/or MIDI notes (starting at C3).

Thankyou!

 

Yeah, thanks. Cool ensemble, not exactly what I was after but I am still using it on some tracks I work on right now. Fun!
