groc
Polyphonic granular synth. Under development.
Connectivity
- 1/8” headphone output
- balanced stereo 1/8” analog audio input and output
- 2 balanced stereo 1/8” analog control; each is configurable as either input or output
- MIDI input and output
- USB-C for power, multi-channel audio input / output, and MIDI input / output
Audio Formats
- Transfer and use audio samples in common formats
- Record new samples and loops at 48kHz / 24-bit in mono or stereo
Storage
- Over 2GB of hand-crafted audio samples recorded at 96kHz
- Over 1GB dedicated to store preset synthesis and effect patches
- 2GB available for user storage of recorded or transferred samples and loops
Synthesis and Signal Processing
- 12+ simultaneous voices
- Custom granular sound engine with oversampling for high-quality manipulation of time and pitch
- The groc “time path”: adjust the playback speed independently in different note regions (attack, decay, sustain, release) to move through audio samples in new ways
- Includes common granular synthesis parameters - size, shape, overlap (aka density), and position - but also controls to randomize or select pre-programmed patterns
- Filtering and binaural spatialization at the grain level
- Unique chordal, rhythmic, and arpeggiation features
- Patch without limits! More than 16 easy-to access modulation sources and 100s of destinations. Modulate your modulator’s modulator, if you dare.
- 4 LFOs with many shapes and unique controls
- 3 ADSR envelopes, 1 time path
- 4 analog control inputs
- MIDI control inputs
- Multi-mode resonant filters (low pass, high pass, band pass, band stop, low shelf, high shelf, all pass). Use 2 filters in series, parallel or split mode at up to 4 locations in the effect processing chain
- Saturation, distortion, compression and limiting with state-of-the-art neural signal processing can be inserted in multiple places in the effect processing chain
- 2 echo paths with series, parallel, split and ping-pong modes, including filters and saturation within the feedback loop to re-create warm tape echo or analog delay sounds
- Harmonizer within the echo paths that can move between subtle chorus, wild re-pitched delays and beautiful shimmer reverb
