Apology accepted 
It does look amazing. Iāve watched loads of videos on it ā Loopopās is the best one, as usual, even that bit at the start taking a prelude and turning it into chords was a āHello!ā moment for me. I reckon the bad videos are just a case of poor sample choice or uninspired settings ā this even happens on the official TC videos.

Iāve been eyeing this device for a while now but you canāt buy everything the same year (or can you?). Iāve bought a lot in the last 2 months (Peak, Hydrasynth, NDLR and Midihub), now itās time to dive deeply and learn them well.

Agreed.
Wow, nice collection! Youāll definitely be better off learning those before adding anything else. If I end up getting the GR-1, Iāll come back here to post my thoughts. Thereās not so much talk on here compared to other synths, which is odd, because it seems so unique in the hardware/non-modular world

Has anyone seen this thing demoāed in MPE mode?
Anyone acquire one of these lately and want to share opinions? Iāve been unloading the majority of my synths and drum machines and am thinking I may pick a GR-1 up to pair with OT, DN, and Orville.

This is a dope synth. Iāve been trying to get away from the dependence of software for production and use hardware instruments for a while. Iāve never jelled well with vsts (Iām a drummer) and have always gotten distracted trying to do stuff on the computer.
If I can relegate my laptop to just recording and mixing, Iāll be good. An instrument like this would be cool to have in my arsenal.
Yep, the GR-1 is a Raspberry Pi underneath. I remember I read it on their forum talking about the possibility of upgrading the hardware in the future or something like that.

Hmmā¦I have an extra rpi3 just sitting around and a pimoroni box with a few picoās showed up last nightā¦
This might be the new project.
Iāve been aware of this one for the last couple of years. And sort of dismissed it because Iām not into the granualar glitchy sound. But Iāve been wanting a polyphonic sample player with the layout of a synth in hardware for a few years now. And first now Iām realizing that I donāt have to use the granular site of the GR-1

Great work ! I love the whole thing Juan, you do a great job blending your playing in with the sounds coming from the GR-1.
I especially love the short section at 7 seconds in where you blend the ākidsā voices with the simple bass line.
I donāt own a GR-1 ā this video is definitely a GAS generator.

Thanks Jukka!
Iām not going to lie, I almost sold it.
Putting on a single sample started to bore me.
But I started testing and putting a lot of samples on a single track and discovered this, this is why I show it.
The improvisation will have lasted an hour, but make the samples much much more.
You have to squeeze the Gr-1.
Greetings!

Have you used it with live sampling ? Itās a little weird using a USB input device to do that, but iām fine with that.
I posted this link before over in the SOMA COSMOS thread.

No, I donāt use it like that.
You lose many functions and variations that the gr-1 gives.
And youāre going to have to buy another sound card.
Better to work the samplers on the daw.
Gives better results!

Mine outputs into a stereo channel, while at the same time receiving stereo input from aux 1 and aux 2 on my mixer. That way, I can easily switch (or mix) between live granular as a stereo effect on any channel and the GR-1 as a standalone box on its own channel. This does require an extra USB soundcard to get the live audio into the GR-1, so I picked up an inexpensive NI Komplete Audio 6 for that, which actually works better for this purpose than my AudioFuse Studio.

Do you send and receive the same signal from Gr-1?
Interesting!
The GR-1 receives whatever is getting sent to aux 1 and aux2. At the same time, itās ouputting to its own stereo channel. If you mean I can send the GR-1 into itself by also sending it to aux 1 and aux 2, that is interesting, but Iāve never given that a listen because the thing has been dedicated to live granular since Iāve had it. That hasnāt been all that long, and I had like a month of mixer down time followed by a consuming new project, so Iāve underused my GR-1 so far.
