Grains running over a recording. There is no synthesiser inside — everything you hear is a fragment of the material. Record from the microphone, keep it listening live, or load a file; a test tone is already loaded at launch, so it sounds the moment it opens. Eight pads read the material back as grains — where, how long, how high, how scattered, and through which filter and effect. · Seven ways to play the grains: FIX, SCATTER, TOUCH, LFO, GATE, RIPPLE, LOOP · Three engines: GRAIN, PULSE (pulsar synthesis) and FEED · Eight XY pads, or the original four · Filters (LP / HP, BP, COMB, RING, SHIFT, CRUSH, STUT), grain shapes, pitch and sample-and-hold · Effects: delay, reverb, harmoniser, fold, digital — and FREEZE · RENTHOUSE: a ring of five cells and two loopers that keep the sound moving without a finger on it · CAM: the camera moves the pads · Presets, materials A and B, EQ, compressor and limiter · Optional LCD look · iPhone and iPad, in landscape Nothing leaves the device.
