I would say this type of device would be great as a soft-synth, BUT having physical control over the sound is such a creative process that I feel it could never be replaced by something in software.

There is a hardware competitor for this in the Waldorf Quantum, obviously not in the same price league but you do get all the benefits of a true synth plus an analogue filter with distortion modes, which seems like the only thing a software granular synth cannot offer over a hardware version, unless maybe you add an Elektron Analog Heat to send your arsenal of plugins through.

Another fantastic review , my GR1 arrived in mid 2020. This synth/sampler really does reward those who will spend time learning its eccentricities.And as with all samplers , rubbish in, rubbish out. Its not a straight out of the box delight. But there are more and more videos on youtube showing its unique possibilities. With persistence the results can be quite stunning. Very similar learning curve to Monome Norns and I suspect will appeal to the same kind of people.You will either grow tired of it quickly or be draw deeper into its digital haze of granular intrigue.

@kyleholman71914 жыл бұрын
Yeah. I've wanted this thing since the moment I seen it. I see a lot of people talking about waiting for the polyend tracker or that there are a ton of more powerful vst granular options, but to me the fact that it's a dedicated hardware granular with a pretty simple workflow and a lot of sliders and knobs for the parameters that make sense to control via those methods is what makes me so excited about this machine. Yeah it's a bit pricy for being a raspberry pi, but tasty chips obviously spent a lot of time and effort developing a UI that is very intuitive for the type of machine that this is. I hate pieces of gear that strive to do everything. Most of the time that stuff ends up being tedious to navigate and ends up making me frustrated. I would much rather spend $1000 on a piece of gear that was fun for me to use than anything cheaper and/or more powerful just to end up selling it because it frustrated me and ended up not being fun to me.
@V3nom74 жыл бұрын
I can confirm that the GR-1 is really easy and intuitive to use. The flow of creation makes it as much a nice instrument to control with a master keyboard than a true sound design mini laboratory. And by itself, without keyboard, a nice "drone generator" for instant overwhelming ambient textures. (and its developpers are updating and fixing it really regularly, and they are still very disponible to answer to any mail)

For comparison, and if you can settle with software: Reason costs ~400€/$ comes with the Grain synth (among many others), which does three kinds of granular synthesis and has a bunch of effects, and can be of course paired with your effects plugins of choice. You can use Reason as a plugin in other daws now too. Of course you'd lose the tactileness of a dedicated hardware interface.

Really cool looking device, I was surprised at the lack of a step sequencer! it seems like it would be a given on a device like this. Even something like 4 steps of playhead sequencing would have been amazing. Plus with all that screen real estate they could've added one even without room on the interface for button control. That and the lack of audio input mean I won't buy this, which I very much would have liked to.

Love the premise. Are there any VST granular synths i couldn check out to get a similar kind of workflow?

Great review! While it's not out yet, and I hope yet doubt that it will be less expensive, the Polyend Tracker coming out next week has a granular synth in (even though it's not its main feature). I hope you'll review it on your channel! Cheers

vgm and stuff Yes - coming soon... However the granular synth in tracker is simple compared to this (they may improve it of course)

Really curious what could have gone into the decision to make a granular synth without an audio In. Wouldn't thst have gave this thing an immense amount of utility within a larger rig?

I wanted this still do but ...Polyend is launching a workstation with something like this built in.
