Oddment Audio announced Groc
A granular synthesizer with limitless modulation, groc includes all the joy of a tape machine, modular synth and pedal board in a stunning desktop package. Every parameter on groc is a modulation destination, and connecting modulation sources is as easy as plugging in a patch cable (w/o the need to search in your closet).
Modulation Sources and Destinations
To go with its myriad destinations, groc has a bounty of modulation sources: 4 LFOs, 4 envelopes, MIDI velocity, key tracking, polyphonic after touch and all the rest. In the event you were hoping to use a physical patch cable, yes, you can use grocu2019s modulation sources to wiggle analog voltages via the 4 control outputs. Or configure them as inputs to control any of grocu2019s parameters with CV from your other gear, a sustain pedal or you name it.
Custom Granular Sound Engine
Groc demonstrates that a compact form can deliver unparalleled sound synthesis functionality. Access dozens of parameters in the custom granular sound engine with 4 grains encoders. Achieve one-of-a-kind manipulations of playback speed, shape multiple envelopes, edit audio sample crop and loop points, adjust 4 LFOs, 3 macros and morph between patches with just 8 more encoders. Add in an entire world of effects, accessed with just 4 more. The large and vivid touch screen provides rich information and beautiful visualizations of your sounds, and enables deep functionality within just a touch or two. Is this where we mention the placard at Oddment HQ that reads, u201cDown with menu diving!u201d?
