Congratulations, mate! Enjoy :slight_smile:

How is it?!?!?!

You may have to wait another 5 years for the answer. :rofl:

Well now.

TastyChips hinted that not only might the new filesystem be back ported to the GR-1, but also the new engines and features, albeit with limitations (no spectral stuff though, but this may be CPU intensive)

In the GR-1 thread :

oops, the redundancy

No that’s cool. It pertains to both synths.

If you own a GR-1 already, or can get one inexpensively, this is a reason to consider not buying the GR-MEGA.

It is reassuring though the way Tasty Chips supports their products.

The GR-MEGA will still have way more to offer.

Maybe in the GR-1 thread someone might comment about having a “mega” upgrade for the GR-1, and what that might mean for sales of all the other granular synths.

My thoughts on this are that it would be ideal for SFX production/foley in a larger TV/film studio environment.

Why limit yourself? It could also be used for a smaller display!

They aren’t available yet…

They were briefly very in stock at Perfect Circuit a month or so ago, so there are definitely some out there in the real world.

There was an update put out today.

New firmware, full release of a manual, and a temporary slow down, that is being fixed, on this months production.

As people who have been reading this thread already know this synth has been shipping in small quantities for a while. E’nauts have already received theirs.

I guess I’ll keep my mouth shut then, carry on

First test drive with my GR_MEGA. Great synth. Stellar sound and really easy to use/configure.

My preorders ready! it’s a black unit in the first batch on the list.

Does anyone know why it says EXPRESS SHIPPING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, for international coming from Netherlands via DHL?

Just curious bc its a €66 vs €122 price difference.
