FIRST JAM with the TASTY CHIPS GR MEGA

It's been a long waiting time but it seems it was totally worth it! The Tasty Chips GR-MEGA Granular Workstation is here. More info on ‪@TastyChips‬ site: www.tastychips...

Really enjoyed this performance. Thank you.

what a trip.....................................I have a GR-1, and wish the internal reverb were more useful..............this is glorius

[@ThanasisPapathanasiou1963]

@@willswitchcraft Hi Will! I used to have a GR1 but only when I upgraded I realised that how much a very large reverb adds to the granular sound. Anyway I am sure you have some good external reverb or even from the DAW. For me the only problem with both these machines is that there is only one output instead of four separate ones. Have a nice day!

[@willswitchcraft]

All good points. Love what you're doing with your gear. Yeah, the GR-1 is wonderful in many ways, but also quite lacking, which was totally avoidable I think (not sure if you saw this review I did): kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqO6dGB4mcx9rsU

[@MapleSonics]

Very happy i ordered in black! It looks amazing.

[@deastman2]

Looks and sounds great! Mine is supposed to be shipping this month. Can’t wait!

[@tristancaver4836]

Awesome! I'm going nuts with anticipation. I get mine mid January. Thanks for the upload!

[@NonsenseInBASIC]

I think this might be my perfect synth. Lovely jam by the way.

[@Winterdagen]

Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for mine to arrive.

[@MrEarlabs]

hi Thanasis, my Mega will arrive (hopefully) early May. What are your impressions after 4 weeks?

[@funnzie]

Were you a GR-1 owner before this? Undecided on granular, but Tasty Chips GR-1 is the only way I would enter into it. I like the way TC think about UI. (been subtractive and FM designer for over 35 years).

[@ThanasisPapathanasiou1963]

Yes, I loved it so much that I decided to get the MEGA. New firmware will soon be released for the GR1 which will massively improve the file system. If you are into design you will love it. Happy new year!

[@funnzie]

@@ThanasisPapathanasiou1963 Thank you so much for the info! Good to know this is a great little company (in Netherlands I think). You have so great music on your channel.

[@lemelstudio]

​@@ThanasisPapathanasiou1963 oh! since you've had both, are the faders improved on the Mega? the faders on my original GR-1 are not great, especially the caps which are very wobbly. (still love it though)

[@ThanasisPapathanasiou1963]

@@lemelstudio No problem with the faders but also on the GR faders were quite OK imo.

[@niancanardworks]

Contacted Tasty Chips and it's only 7 months waiting time at the moment... So please do more videos.

[@MapleSonics]

Same here. Really a massive test of my patience.

[@niancanardworks]

@@MapleSonics got a Torso S4 until then. Just to turn some knobs.

[@MapleSonics]

@@niancanardworks I am seriously considering to build Collidoscope.

Reminds me of the Forbidden Planet soundtrack. 🛸🪐

[@williambowden4192]

Mine's stuck in the post dammit! Good choice on the colour :)

[@benhamednawres3615]

hi thanasis hope you're doing great i am searching for a song you dropped last year called 'ain't got no time to say". keep up the good work

[@ThanasisPapathanasiou1963]

Hey, I don't believe that you even remember the title! This track was a part of a collaborative project we started with 2 synth friends called Elephants in a room. You can find the song here kzbin.info/www/bejne/apDSfXxtZrGrh7s Also in Spotify you can find our material open.spotify.com/artist/4HnRMh5F1GFNEpbg1xSdzC Thank you for this encouragement, have a perfect 2025!

[@soundscapematrix]

sounds great......a bit tacky on the price come on though.....down payment?

[@RyanHarris77]

That’s not uncommon for smaller manufacturers. They need to buy parts.

[@vit9dobro]

beautiful synth🥹😻❤️‍🩹

[@StudioMagnetique]

I'm not usually one to leave "This synth should have this feature or it's a dealbreaker" comments as I am usually happy to follow the designers original vision and accept a product for what it is. But.... It is an absolute crime that this unit only comes with a stereo pair of outputs. I would happily of paid another 50% for 8 outs as 4 stereo pairs, or even just an ADAT. I think for me that would be near perfect... That said, I'm gonna get me one anyway. 🫡

[@StudioMagnetique]

Sorry, nice jam too. Appreciate it.

[@ThanasisPapathanasiou1963]

@@StudioMagnetique Totally agree. I think in the future it will be possible to record 4 stereo channels through the usb c port.
