GRIND | Extended Demos (no talking)

Extended Demos of the new GRIND Hybrid Synthesizer showcasing a selection of it's powerful synth engines.

[@mbrombert]

I genuinely don't think I have been more excited for a new synth. I love everything about it.

[@andybside]

This is the perfect synth. LOVE it. You guys are just killing it. You make the synth world fun and exciting.

[@EdvinLaura]

and accessible

[@raysubject]

So that's basically Mutable Instruments Plaits with analog filter and sequencer from Crave. Not bad idea, i like this product line..

[@eldontyrellcorp]

Same here ! The Crave and Edge are very nice synths. And this one seems to go further and offer a wide sound palette. But what about the Spice ?

[@AlkisT]

@@eldontyrellcorpthe Spice got announced around the time the Edge got released, so fingers crossed the same is about to happen here.

[@adambabos3370]

It looks great! I love the digital way in synths! :)

[@DerMiezMiez]

most definitely gonna get this one after getting the crave for a full melodic setup

[@modelenginerding6996]

For sure, stacking the oscillators and patching across will be fun.

[@christdolphin69]

i didnt know the page arrows were for pitch bend.very cool man, if any other company made a semi-modular super-plaits with analog filter and built in step seq with knob-per function and an lpg on the output stage for like $200-300, it would be such a massive deal really incredible. and its actually good looking this time. love the grey and black obove the sort of deep pale red at the top

[@jerrypilarz3076]

Pre-Order is in and paid SHIP IT BABY SHIP IT

[@jkoo6528]

If this is going to be in the same price bracket as the Crave and the Edge, I'll buy it in day one. The supersaw and rain engines are just up to my alley.

[@amazeus1980]

Surely must have synth. I see it as a utility module. And it sounds like modular ❤

[@stashusclay]

Plaits with and analog filter in a jam-able little package. Gladly giving you my monies for this one.

[@dgazart]

Oh nice. The oct location is a nice touch.

[@Phantasma999]

Great sounds. Most versatile synth from "behringer studio" so far

[@JulioAvalos3000]

Just shut up and take my money, Behringer.

[@Deaphdot1]

This will definitely stave off me getting fully back into modular. nice work

[@sokoleski]

Absolutely gorgeous 💚 Sold !

[@DeliriumElectric]

Wow, have to say, that sounds great

[@Subtronik]

Awesome. Keep them coming.

[@yourilamie3111]

i should buy 4 of these

[@streglof]

Why does the rain engine sound more like a JP8000 than the actual supersaw engine?

[@jkoo6528]

Yeah 😅

[@HightechLowlife-r8x]

Because Emilie Gillet of mutable instrumental is a real talented coder, genius and gave this all for open source community

[@HightechLowlife-r8x]

I have a lot of mutables modules , braids , warps , clouds , peak and it’s all brilliant and above the rest in terms of quality, versatility and creativity , I’m just sad mutable has stopped

[@bLiNdEDM]

I promised myself I wouldn't buy another one but mannnnnnn ur making it so hard

[@LAZ-org]

The GAS is STROooooNG with this one.

Just pre-ordered one from Sweetwater. I wonder when they'll actually ship it?

[@paulmattle6683]

I was going to pre-order it, but I clicked the notify when in stock button and will hopefully be hearing from them soon

[@laurentmialon2594]

good idea, good price range / any idea of the release date / I own a Plaits and/but will get this one for sure / PS : eternal thanks and respect to Emilie Gillet //

[@xisotopex]

do all the knobs respond to cc parameters?

[@nathankirklambo1986]

Sounds like the damn thing cant make up its mind. I like it.

[@happylittlesynth]

Buying immediately!

[@wilorules]

The lads at behringer at it again

[@saskatchewandave]

This sounds great. How do you sequence it, externally and internal?

[@kosmikmusa]

Something simple is the key.

[@Luapbeatz]

Mutable instruments on steroids... nice artwork from behringer. I like it. For the future, put more crazy things together, more lfo's etc. Stay creative And by the way the videos are so dope thx Patrick...

[@PatchDog]

Thanks Luap :) I like your suggestions too

[@djkanyon]

Not only Behringer making awesome stuff, their review game is top notch. You get to know the hardware inside out and in details.

[@zoned7609]

Monofreak. I'll keep my microfreak, it's got paraphony, unison, sample playback, granular, user uploaded wavetables, a vocoder, better arp/sequencer, and extra oscillator types like bass/sawx that you can't find in plaits/brains, and an insanely powerful mod matrix. I'm disappointed at some of the missed opportunities i see in the grinds input selection for it's semi modular section. That's not to say this is bad. I'm almost tempted to get it for the filter. I say this is a very fantastic synth and it would be crazy to expect it to do everything a microfreak can for only 200 bucks. A very very nice synth for the money.

[@unclemick-synths]

More hybrid products like this please! 👍

[@EnigmaState]

Got a Brains arriving soon and already have the Crave. And there we have the Grind 😄

[@oddcircuit]

man that chord engine jam needs to become a full track!

[@thedeepblueskys]

Yeah, that reminds me of a Detroit vibe. Was waiting for that kick to come in

[@speakingcolors]

It looks amazing. I'll get one for sure. However, I wish it would be polyphonic. I know we can chain it to get the polyphony but... I wanted this a tiny desktop beast that takes up no space instead of having to chain it. 🙃

[@paulmattle6683]

The Modal SKULPT is a good option for polyphony on a budget. Every time I sit down with mine, I find new functions that I didn't know were possible.

[@Jason75913]

Skulpt is an alternative, also the Micromonsta2 if you can get ahold of one. Dreadbox Nymphes is another. MC-101 as a last resort.

[@nobodyxxxxxxxx]

Just think in terms of height instead of width. Stack em' and then you have insane control that you wouldn't have with a smaller all-in-one with the same footprint

[@Talkerus]

So it’s a Brain as a producer line product or I’m wrong? It’s seems it has the same sound engines…

[@fujurrecords8360]

Que bien suena muy Electro

[@davidgoode7416]

I think I need one...

[@Gino_567]

Yup.. *opens wallet

[@littlemouse7066]

a demo with a midi keyboard?

[@dotline4759]

Indeed so much potential. i will buy it for sure. Glad to see FM back a bit more in the game, wonder what the youth will do with.

[@stashusclay]

What reverb was used on the demo.

[@Maragua1974]

3:16 Aah man! Pure ear candy. What a lush Juno-esque sound😊🎶. Is it possible to route audio through te filter? Actually i'm waiting for a good (stand alone) filter from Behringer, that would be great!

[@adamkrasneski3679]

Im seeing mixed info. What is the note-polyphony on this thing? Can we play manual chords? 7ths? 9ths?

[@Jason75913]

You get only one note to play at a time unless you switch to the chord oscillator. No manual chords. If you want something you can play polyphonically, you need a Deepmind or Pro-800 at this time, as far as Behringer. They will have JP8000, Jupiter8, and Polysix clones later, to add to their list of polysynths.

[@adamkrasneski3679]

@@Jason75913 i had a feeling (oooohoooooo). Shame. This format is the only thing i support and ive really been hoping for a minifreak in a compact rackmount form. Already have a pro800. Big fan. Wish theyd release a deepmind 6 in this smaller format.

[@josephwright5921]

Can you please make a YELLOW and BLACK one with the WASP Filter?

[@jeffreyalme6480]

What is the polyphony? Might as well make it a groove box.

[@Jason75913]

Groovebox? This couldn't be more lacking in groovebox features, it's just a synth. Polyphony is just 1. This is a monosynth.

[@JeffPedlow]

It is VERY nice to see the Plaits bloodline in this .... Respect where it's due to both Behringer and Mutable

[@araguet]

Very nice, but you missed the opportunity to show the stereo outs, Plaits two outputs expand the sound capabilities a lot.

[@Jason75913]

Might be the headphones output only, if this thing is stereo at all (which I strongly doubt)

[@araguet]

@@Jason75913 I doubt too, I think that all the audio chain is mono, but the two Plaits outs are available in the outs sections of this Grind, so it can be possible to go stereo directly from the Plaits, so I think that the main Plaits out is what goes to the audio chain (VCF-VCA) and if you want to use the other Plaits out, you can mix externally using the out 2, but without VCF and VCA. Hahahah, rally I don't know, just a very nerd speculation.

[@666nacirema666]

When and where can I get this?

[@Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

This could have been awesome with a second on board filter. But then again, it's gladly patchable.

[@wavetimeaudio]

It sounds like many people commenting already have the Crave. Mix it through the Crave. 😊

Behringer needs to make some good fx boxes.

Behringer already makes FX pedals, if that's what you mean.

[@paleemperor5379]

@@Jason75913 Yeah but most of them are plastic boss clones. They could make something original or more advanced.

[@Jason75913]

@@paleemperor5379 Tried TCE FX pedals? TC Electronic belongs to Behringer, and TCE did some or all of the effects in the Deepmind synths. "Boss clones" that don't even sound that much like Boss pedals, as far as video comparisons demonstrate. Too bad they won't make anything as half as good as my Boss RV500 and DD500.

[@djkanyon]

i was asking for it for years... why not have Uli's version of Strymon Big Sky or something

[@andybside]

@@Jason75913 I mean a high quality multifx like the chroma or microcosm

Whish it was used without external FX / gear.

[@EricBlair-jg2ux]

watch the breakdown video he made of the intro song, he shows all the patches dry before adding the fx

It's not like FX levels are that high. That would be a poor way to showcase any kind of synth.

Incredibly tempting. But imagine how many smaller monosynth makers (ie, _all_ of them) Bear-Injure must be putting out of business - how could anyone compete with the features, flexibility, and price point? Even big boys like Moog must be feeling the pressure.
