Thanks matey!

I really like this thing. it doesnt have very high grain density compared to some of the other options so can be a bit grainy rather than smooth but there are a ton of modulation possibilities, the mappable XY pad, live line in etc .... I've made some really weird, disturbing stuff on it. it's not just generic plink plonk ambient like most videos on here would suggest.

100% agree. I think the other devices with more options are great but also a load more $$$$. I think this is a good "dip your toe into the granular world" synth

I love mine for pads, drones, weird soundscapes etc. - my only gripe is with the external USB powering and its usual issues (noise, unplugs sometimes, and the unit gets really warm after a while), and having to keep a power bank charged to use it. Now you couple this with a Fireball, a Circuit track, and you have a lovely portable setup that's fairly unexpensive.

I haven’t had any noise issues but I’m def aware of them from the blue and black boxes.

My friend for years has been telling me to get this. I didn’t take its size seriously

I have been turned off devices because of their size now I just give everything a try. This box doesn’t do everything but for granular and layering it’s pretty good. Also the price is a lot better than a lot of the other granular synths out there.

@@craigwilliamsmusic dude yeah, I should’ve listened to him. In the digital world small means nothing. I want to see how thick the bass sounds because the organelle for example is insane w that

@@sonicpulp9417 you can make incredibly thick and dense bass sounds with it. one thing I notice is it seems to pitch sounds down really well. you have 4 note polyphony so it's easy to have a sub bass note under it etc

thanks for the comment, I always love to hear how other people are using it

It's just... that's a lot of menu diving.

At first it feels like a lot, it’s pretty intuitive after using it for 20-30mins
