More Information

The GR-MEGA is a granular hardware synth and sampler that picks up where the GR-1 left off. With four multitimbral layers, 20 voices of polyphony per layer, up to 5000 grains in total, and five different engines, it offers massive sound design possibilities.

In addition to traditional and granular sampling, the GR-MEGA offers a tape mode, granular slice mode, and a spectral phase vocoder engine. Everything is controlled through a hands-on interface with plenty of knobs, a large 7” screen, and a big slider for moving through the source material in a very intuitive way.

The modulation engine comprises four LFOs, four envelopes, four step sequencer modulators, and a matrix to bring everything together. All in all, you can route 20 sources to no less than 100 destinations. Furthermore, the GR-MEGA features a built-in FX section with four simultaneous effects and a choice of various delays, reverbs, dynamic effects, and distortion.

The built-in step sequencer can play up to seven notes simultaneously and offers up to 64 steps. In multitimbral mode, each layer gets its own sequencer.

It’s great news that Tasty Chips seems to have sorted out the last issues and is getting ready for production!

    when your digital synth costs more than a decent laptop + a good midi controller + a virtual synth that does way more…
