GrainField-5000 is a hardware granular sampler with randomization features. It is intended as a musical exploration tool, such that you can record in a sound and “dissect” it by controlling the grain start position and frequency. It leverages two potentiometers as the main control method, giving the user tactile control.
- Record 5.25 seconds of sound at 48kHz, stored in external SRAM.
- Crossfading grains ensure continuous, smooth sound without pops, and classic “glitchy” textures at very small grain sizes.
- Choose grain repeat frequency from 0.5 Hz to 150 Hz.
- Two smoothed potentiometers allow for tactile control of the parameters.
- Controlled randomization of grain start position and repeat frequency allows for anywhere between wild cacophonous sound and microscale smearing.
- Smoothing disable mode to use electromagnetic interference for musical discovery!
- LCD shows mode information/current status.
