  • This is the first part of a little series I'll record with the Tasty Chips Electronics GR-1. I loooove granular synthesis and this machine is a beast! I'm just scratching the surface here, so I'll definitely record some more videos in the future where I'll be using more complex settings (and the modular of course!). Enjooooy!

    Hi Megan, I have a GR-1 since a whie... I have a question: Overall, I love it, but there is one thing that "bothers" me, that is, that when one makes it play few grains, it starts to become rhytmical (around 6:25 for example). Is there a way, according to you, that it can trigger the grains more randomly? I thought I ever found an option, but don't know anymore... Groetjes uit België

    • @MeganLeber
      @MeganLeber  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi Axel! Well at 06:25 I have two LFO’s at work which make it rhythmical. If you turn the encoders counter clockwise they shouldn’t do anything and the grains should trigger randomly 😃 Or do you have it connected to MIDI?

    • @Freakydile
      @Freakydile Před 2 lety +1

      @@MeganLeber Hello!!! Thank you for your time. Inknoe the LFO's make it quite rhytmical, but even without LFO, it's quite rhytmical when playing few grains... I added a random LFO to the density, but without it's predictable... Not clocked on midi... I have to lookup what the different grain respaw options do... Maybe they make it more "random".

      @MeganLeber  Před 2 lety

      @@Freakydile I actually know what you mean now yes, good idea to put a random LFO on it! Other than that I’m not sure (yet) how to change that. You can ask on the Facebook group for GR-1 users maybe (don’t have fb myself)?

    The first shocking thing I heard was stereo. Why is it in stereo? Are you post processing with effects? Is there a ping/pong delay in the unit or post processed?

    • @MeganLeber
      @MeganLeber  Před 2 měsíci

      Hi! The GR-1 has a pan spray parameter, which controls how much the grain’s stereo panning is randomised :) so just like the Digitakt 1 for example, it can sound stereo with the use of panning. (+ as I mention in my video, I added some Toraverb.) Enjoy your week!
