Multigrain Part of a Nutritious Microsound Diet Multigrain is a Stereo Morphing Granular Sampler with instant access to up to eight different audio samples (“Sounds”) . These sounds are played back through a granular engine with morphable scenes, and a reverb effect that we call Blur. Granular sampling or synthesis creates small slices of audio—or grains—from a larger piece of audio. In Multigrain, streams of grains can be shaped, layered, pitched, filtered, and reversed to generate entirely new sounds.The eight available Sounds use stereo WAV files, up to 32 seconds long, to generate grains from. These are loaded in from the microSD card (where you can store thousands of files), recorded from the inputs, or resampled from the outputs. Automation / Modulation The granular engine has a full set of controls to shape your grains. You can apply two panel settings per Sound—Scenes A and B—then morph between them using the Morph fader or automate it with the dedicated Morph CV/Attenuverter. Multigrain loves modulation. It has three assignable CV inputs, which can be applied to the granular engine’s parameters. You can also apply internally generated random modulation and sync Multigrain to your system clock. Dedicated Next, Gate, Select CV inputs allow you to sequence or surf through sounds, layering and mixing them on top of each other. Ready for the Stage Multigrain supports up to 48 Projects, each with 48 Presets, so you can store multiple configurations and sample sets for instant recall. This also frees you up to explore new sound palettes, while still being able to return to your favourites. Bend any Sound into your own creation Sample your own sources (or others) directly into the module for instant gratification, or load a copy of your WAV files to the SD card with a computer, and explore the sounds like you’ve never heard them before. We have partnered with some amazing artists to provide you with exclusive samples for use with Multigrain— Richard Devine (Warp/Schematic) Speedy J (Warp/STOOR) Taylor Deupree (12k/Nettwerk) Jeremy Blake (Red Means Recording) You’ll find these Projects on the 32GB SD card included with the module, as well as more sounds and samples from our staff here at intellijel; over 600MB of included samples. Features Eight Sounds available at once — Each Sound can be freely assigned from the MicroSD card or by sampling directly into the module.
