- Hello! Thanks for watching this video, or at least considering watching. This is yet another noodling video with a new toy. The Tasty Chips GR-1 granular synthesizer. A granular synthesizer breaks an audio file into tiny pieces of wheat, or on occasion barley. All audio is direct from the GR-1 into a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 with no additional processing (other than normalization.) My GR-1 was on firmware version 1.1.8 for this video.
I thought it might be useful to hear the original sample before the GR-1 patch that uses it, so I included them in the video. Hope its not too annoying.
The GR-1 can process live audio, but I need to get a suitable USB audio interface to try it. Another feature of the GR-1 I have yet to try are the two CV inputs. This could open up some fun control possibilities with modular gear.
A nice thing is that every parameter on the GR-1 is controllable via MIDI CC. This is shown at 7:15 where the sample position and filter cutoff are controlled with the Casio XW-P1's step sequencer control tracks. Not that you can really tell, it's not a good example of MIDI control really with the arpeggiator happening. I should've made a clearer example of that.
Apologies if the audio and video don't align exactly, I tried my best to line them up. :) - Hudba
I appreciate you playing the original sample before running it in the GR-1. I know I came in here 5 years after the fact, but I just got a used GR-1! Thanks for the video.
PERFECT demo, mate. No talking, egos, acting like a dipshit on camera, no clickbait, lousy audio through a phone. Just the synthesis. And included the original samples too! Subscribed, keep it up.
dude, I just bought one because of your demo. This is a GREAT demo. Thank you for showing the original waveform and the resulting patch. fucking awesome.
LOUD EXCITED SWEARING!!!!!!! ok this is really awesome , as is what you're playing on it . thanks for introducing this crazy to us all!!
the processed kurzweil sound is magical, nice demo.
Awww man, got my mouth watering. I'm in the 2nd batch so I think im in the home stretch to receive this thing. Your video has my heart pounding!!! Thanks for posting,.
Thanks for sharing. You were right to include the original sample. It was very useful!
Thank you for making this showcase video! It’s the best example of what the GR-1 can do.
@ 4:50 I’m blown away. I want one of these, but I think I’ll wait for a GR-2 if it’s in the cards.
Theee best demo of this incredible hands on device. Yes, you can do something like this in M4L or Padshop etc, but this is dedicated hardware and it truly has a sound of it’s own.
Nice! I had saved for nearly a year for the GR1 but the demos were just all so uninspiring.
Until I found you! And i'm back!!
Sounds like the future.
Great ambient machine. Wouldn't mind feeding it some DX-7 stuff.
Ordered mine last week! Can't wait
Really nice demo! :) Mine is just arriving next week! :)
Amazing that it's hardware! Looks and sounds fantastic
This is amazing! Good job! Nice that you put original samples. Sometimes it's hard to believe that such a great sounds are created from a regular sample. Like the first one or Kawai k1m. This thing adds so much complexity to the sound... I'm more and more convinced about this product, even though peoples opinion is that it is overpriced and you can do the same with vsts..
Fantastic machine!!!
love the Gr1
This machine is the most exciting thing to hit the market in decades.. far more immediate and tactile that the Waldorf Quantum to use.. I can't stop playing mine
Ok ok,,,i'm gettn one..you done did it now Mr..Your persuasion has cost me Money..What do you have to say for yourself now...lol.....AWESOME Vid btw
Awesome. I've been using analog synths in my band but looking for a way to make nice bell and sample-based sounds. Adding in the granular fuckery would just be a bonus.
this is so sick
4:48 on loop! Beautiful!
A bit like Feurio Enstürzende Neubauten.

This thing is unbelievable - I agree future of wacky synthesis at least :-)
If only padshop sounded this good I would save 1K ......excellent.
I want one! Granular sampling is the next best thing after full resynthesis. This thing combined with modeled resonators would get very close to my ultimate synth. The new Waldorf Quantum might come even closer to that ideal but it is very expensive. This one however is decently priced, already sounds awesome as it is and has a VERY intuitive user interface. Yep, I surely want one!
Marc Brassé you nailed it. ....yes
Time to write that letter to Santa.
Wow. So freaking cool!
3:40 has to be my favorite! So thick and lush
very dope. i think you just sold me on the Casio XW-P1 though.. that thing sounds crazy
It provides musical fun! It's great! No worries, Buddy!
This ( granular synth ) and a hydrasynth or argon 8 ( wavetable synths) would cover the abilities of a Waldorf quantum and enough change for some other VA or real analog DM 12 ?
Nice!
Oh, shit, I need this!
I have one and many future discoveries in the world of infinite wave frequency. this revolutionary war machine plunges us into a new world of synthesizer...
i can't lie, this seems really cool. don't know though if i wanna buy it, i can pretty much do granular synthesis with omnisphere and control it directly with prophet x due to the recent software/hardware integration update. i do wanna try this though.
how good is the GR-1 in the low end? some pure digital machines are pretty weak there when it come to samples (and one reason for still using vintage sampler btw...)?
In short: how good is the Lowpass filter ?&
Thanks for this - it illustrates very well that you'll get really interesting stuff out of relatively one dimensional input.
Still waiting on mine. Hopefully it will ship soon!
Almost got one of these but went with Maschine instead . No regrets but this looks fun.
Wow! I love this thing more and more.
How many octaves do you get playing chromatically?
Thanks for this great video !!
But i'm not sure to understand the routing (link usb with your midi keyboard? what the white IN ?)
4:50 sold me.
So you load a sample into it via usb connection, then do granular processing on that sample?
I can not find this product! Thank.
If the sample is played lower does it make it slower, also if a sound is looped and it is played lower, does the looping get slower, and if so, is there a way to turn that off
Were the polyphonic bits recorded chords or can you turn mono into poly within the gr-1?
Although the very first example seems to include some keyboard playing most are just producing sound while in autorepeat. Then all the grains repeats and stereo pannings are 1 voice. If you actually see 2 hands in the picture you can be pretty shure about it anyway because that probably means nobody is playing a the keyboard. If I am correct it is presently 16-voice on top of that. So it will indeed turn every monosample into something that can be played polyphonically. Because full phrases are recorded it however often seems to do a lot more already then just loop / repeat /granulate one sample.
Can you sample something weird for demonstration. Like an orchestra hit, or a used-car commercial or something?
Absolutely Amazing synth , really interested in it. How many voices ?
Any useful advice on it?
Thanks for sharing
11 voices currently.. 16 when we complete optimization.
Tasty Chips wow...price?
849 eur
wow €€€ but probably totally worth it as far as hardware goes... makes me want to see if i can emulate this in Granulator for now
J Whitty just for the display, knobs, switches, faders and enclosure that is a good price. A really really nice piece of hardware.
Are these just playing on various loop types, or is there a sequencer/movement recorder?
So...basically a synth that does the equivalent of Ensoniq transwave synthesis? Nice to see someone making something marginally affordable.
WHen is the release?
Can you tune it in order to play it with a keyboard along other instruments?
it has cv inputs and usb connect, so yes, you can play via midi controller :)
you can also assign up to four notes/tones to play, but it's obviously not so convenient.
and it is polyphonic. crazy, expensive synth
16 note poly with up to 128 'grains' per voice
Great demo! What does this do that I couldn’t do in Ableton simpler? (Apart from it being hardware)
Every example: Me: Sounds like Bladerunner.
Does this thing sample on the fly or you can only dump sample files into it?
Both, with sampling on the fly only if you plug in an USB audio interface / dongle.
3:55 weeee
Is there a gluten-free version of this? I'm allergic to life.
whooooo 5:41 eeeeeee
I got padshop pro in Cubase, and I'm still wondering wtf this grainy synth stuff is useful for, if we are still refraining from becoming total androids
I think you do not get it. Of course people are doing a lot of freaky stuff just by chance but one can also use this to isolate a singlt tone/note from sample and then play real musical parts on it. It basically does what older samplers could not do and only first became widely availble via Roland's V-processor technology: Duration and tuning of samples can be detached from achother. And one also get 's rid of much of the old hassle of looking for looppoints. If you have ever worked with a 80's samplar you know what I mean. So for creative sampling it is spot on.
Nothing shameless about this noodle O.O
a eurorack version would be nice...
There are already a ton of Granular samples for Eurorack....
There is more than enough eurorack modules to last a hundred decades available already, its nice to see an idea grow into an actual real instrument instead of module everything. Buy an ER-301 or g0 if you need granular in your modular.
Why? This is way more ergonomic. Unless you have not much desk space left. No wires wires fkin WIRES getting in the way here
7:15 is insane
Expensive...
Yet everyone who owns one loves it..
Uh.... What!!!!
Cool as $400 dollars cool not $1000 plus
Still worth every penny..
Did they abandon this project?
no
