Lo-fi sound manipulation
Whether you’re more into Xenakis or Arca, granular synthesis has helped a plethora of artists express themselves in unconventional ways. Wanna join them? That’s where microGranny comes into play.
Our monophonic granular sampler packs grand lo-fi sound into a small body. The 2nd generation of Bastl's instant classic reads WAV samples from a microSD card and applies granular algorithms to them. With a vast collection of samples at your hands, you can do much more than simply trigger each one in turn. You can adjust start, end, sample rate (tuned or free run), crush, and envelope (attack release).
