Demos pls : )
Coming soon:
So Cute! I think they have missed the price point (for me at least) at 449⏠(MSRP)âŚyou can get a lot if synth for that nowadaysâŚI was expecting more like 199E
ÂŁ378 on dv247
What a nice little device, I always liked granular synth. But you can discuss about the color. And âŹ456,50 is too much for what you get.
Very nice, but the price tag is almost at the Blackbox level.
Curious about the engine differences. Now the BB has 2 LFO, however their selection of targets is a bit strange. For example, envelope attack & decay times. It can add some movement to âkeyboardâ type of instruments, but in granular context is not very useful (donât remember exactly which are currently targets available in latest OS)
The way I look at it is the price might seem high, and for similar money you can get two microgranny units but miss two voices, basically no effects apart from bitcrush, less envelopes, no LFOs, no modulation⌠and all in a smaller package.
If it does real-time granular mangling on incoming audio then fantastic.
We will see in a few hoursâŚ
Microgranny is fun, but itâs too crude and the most pain is the file management. It kills all the inspiration.
I donât mind the flat file system and weird naming, it is less painful to me than the op-z. The bigger issue is only 6 presets of 6 sounds but you can store hundreds of sound files; seems like disconnected thinking.
The sound is cruuuuude! Perhaps too crude for many setups including my own. If Bastl made a full granular groovebox I would buy that though.
Color causes tooth pain
I donât mind the color, but if going with bright yellow why label everything in white? Looks⌠unreadable. Maybe itâs different in person, though.
Seems like itâll b black labeling⌠that pic with white is just to increase the tooth pain of their site viewers
Actually it looks like they are LED-backlit buttons.
Some years ago played two live shows which were both without a laptop. Combo of MG + kaospad mini was a wonder.
This new thing has very few performance controls unfortunatelyâŚ
I love love love desktop effects boxes and have a soft-spot for XY pads so Iâm most interested in the Lemon Drop.
'âWAV files can be saved to a microSD cardâ. Yes please.
An polyphonic synth as well, sounds intriguing.
I spy USB-C. Audio over midi hopefully? Audio interface capabilities?
Iâve always thought that 5 voices is the perfect polyphony and I never understand why they keep the number in 4. The same with MicroFreak for example.
Is there too much difference in CPU usage?
@Claid Iâm pretty psyched about the lemon drop too. I currently donât have any performative multi-effects units (unless you consider a Norns Shield one). I was actually considering buying one of the newer mini kpâs recently but this looks like a step up from that. Two Lfos and a modulation sequencer thatâs midi-controllable is an instant sell for me.
Iâm curious about its audio capabilities though, specifically whether or not itâll be able to sample sound with the granulator effect, or if it relies on loading wav files. I guess weâll know tomorrowâŚ
