"3 Voices 3 Rows" on Cwejman S1 / GRP R24
video upload by kapillarkraft
"Since I don't appreciate big setups so much, I tried to accomplish a Berlin School - style piece on an analogue monophonic synthesiser with external sequencing. Now that the Cwejman S1 is not your regular mono synth, I got 3 independent voices out of it all by itself.
Have fun watching."

Synth Cafè presenta: Grp Synthesizer A1 con Enrico Cosimi
video upload by Synth Cafè
First demo of the new GRP A1 Mini Desktop Synth posted here. Front panel and system diagram pics below.
"Per la prima volta in assoluto, Grp Synhesizer presenta Grp A1
Il sintetizzatore monofonico Grp A1 può essere utilizzato come uno strumento indipendente oppure si possono filtrare segnali esterni attraverso il circuito risonante Low Pass 18dB VCF.
La presenza di tre segnali interni (VCO, SUB e NOISE) garantisce potenza timbrica e facilità d'uso. Con i due oscillatori a bassa frequenza - LFO (il primo integra un Sample & Hold S&H) e il generatore di inviluppo ADSR, è possibile avere comportamenti di modulazione ciclici o transitori.
Lo strumento può essere alimentato tramite un cavo USB di tipo C collegato a qualsiasi alimentatore USB da 2,5A. A1 può anche essere estratto dal suo cabinet per essere facilmente installato in qualsiasi sistema modulare Eurorack alimentandolo utilizzando i normali cavi piatti forniti con i sistemi Eurorack

"For the first time ever, Grp Synhesizer presents Grp A1
The Grp A1 monophonic synthesizer can be used as a standalone instrument or external signals can be filtered through the Low Pass 18dB VCF resonant circuit.
The presence of three internal signals (VCO, SUB and NOISE) guarantees tonal power and ease of use. With the two low-frequency oscillators - LFO (the first integrates a Sample & Hold S&H) and the ADSR envelope generator, it is possible to have cyclical or transient modulation behaviors.
The instrument can be powered via a USB Type-C cable connected to any 2.5A USB power supply. A1 can also be extracted from its cabinet to be easily installed in any Eurorack modular system by powering it using the normal flat cables supplied with Eurorack systems

GRP R24
via this auction
The Grp Synthesizer R24 is a powerful CV and gate sequencer in the tradition of classic Moog sequencers, with extended options for fine voltage tuning and complex rhythmic generation. With three total tracks of CV and Gate control and extensive opportunities to reorder steps, run sequences at different speeds, and complex gate ratcheting, and more, the R24 is an ideal controller for any CV/Gate or MIDI-capable instruments, providing a central workstation for create intricate control and timing relationships. With complex step order permutations, integrated clock dividers per row, support for MIDI clock,and easy access to 1/4" CV/Gate I/O, the R24 easily integrates into and adds tremendous depth to any type of electronic music setup, modular, semimodular, digital, or otherwise.
Nice view.

GRP Synthesizer - A2
GRP Synthesizer - A2 from HerrSchneider on Vimeo.
Let's listen to the GRP Synthesizer A2 - a very versatile analog monosynth with a high-quality sound and a huge number of modulation possibilities - and this is no exaggeration: The frequency of the two oscillators and the filter cutoff each can be influenced by one of 11 different modulation signals.
The two oscillators feature 5 waveforms each, the first VCO offers additional PWM at two waveforms, the second VCO a parameter called "Shape" which fades in nine copies of the selected waveform for super-saw and super-triangle sounds. You get a Ring Mod, Noise, Sample & Hold, two LFOs, arpeggiator and more.
The filter design has a lot of character and is capable of producing formant/vocal-like sounds and a liquid sounding resonance. The great sounding distortion parameter offers many more options for designing sounds.
With its MIDI and CV/Gate inputs this is a synthesizer that fits in all studio or live-environments. It has a good size for jamming and a quality feel - and last but not least, the A2 is proving very popular among our staff - so maybe that means something.

GRP R24 Sequencer - Performance Rig #shorts
video upload by O.Z. Hall
"This is a demo of the R24 sequencer. I wanted a portable sequencing solution that was fun to play. I mounted the GRP R24 sequencer in a Synthesizers.com QCP22 Portable Cabinet. I have a number of modules, including the new Synthesizers.com Q169 and Q168 Oscillator++ Combo, providing oscillator/env/amp as well as raw noise. I've also got two Z506 Swiss Daisy DSP modules, a well as bandpass filter, VCA, mixers, etc.
There are 4 voices total. Here are the voices in order of 'introduction':
1) Z506 Swiss Daisy DSP in voice/delay mode. CV/Gate from R24 Row 1.
2) The Q169 oscillator 1 processed through the Swiss Daisy DSP for VCF/VCA/ADSR. CV/Gate from R24 Row 2.
3) The Q169 oscillator 2 set to a noise waveform and processed through the Q169 VCA 2/AD envelope. Gate from R24 Row 2.
4) The noise from the Q168 is processed through a VCA/ADSR. The timbre is modulated by a multimode filter (mostly bandpass). Filter CV/Gate from R24 Row 3.
I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed making the video!"

"A little great analog synthesizer with all the Grp heritage of sound and capabilities. Wide 8 vertical space in 5U format or, if you prefer, optionally rack mountable, with a wooden sided dedicated cabinet, the Grp A2 Analog Synthesizer has MIDI In and Analog CV/Gate connections. It offers two big oscillators with the classic analog waveforms , from Grp, Plus Super Saw and Super Triangle; the great 12dB/Oct ; Grp State Variable Filter, one Ring Modulator (have you ever tried to ring modulate a 9-components Super Saw?), One Noise Generator, one Amplifier, one Master Out section with a couple of gorgeous analog Vumeters. There are a couple of Envelope Generators, the Filter-dedicated one with Looping capabilities as on big Grp A4 Synth and a couple of LFOs/Modulation Routings. The on board Arpeggiator can be clocked by Internal Clock, ExternalAnalog Clock or MIDI Clock; easy and fun, it's a breeze to use. Grp A2 Analog Synthesizer is built like a tank. But is far more dangerous."

Elektron Digitakt + CXM1978 + GRP A2 // Ambient lofi beat
video upload by Dexba
"As an old meme once said: 'I don't always pull out the Digitakt. But when I do, I always end up amazed by how simple and yet versatile it is.'
Having 2 LFO's per track, modulating modulation, quickest sampling EVER (even for a lazy ass player like me), MIDI tracks to be able to quickly play external instruments!
This all started with the loop I put in track 8, a little arpeggio on the Matriarch, that I listened to for many many hours without knowing what to do with it. Then I decided to stop being lazy, so I pulled out the Digitakt and I started flipping the sample, recorded one drone note with the GRP, recorded water, recorded birds, and even some vinyl scratching because... you know, that's the way these things go down.
In the past few days, I've had trouble sleeping, and I have to admit I resorted to my own video quite a bit, mixed with some other sounds of nature.
Everything sounded beautiful already without reverb, but then I remembered I OWN A F***ING Chase Bliss CXM1978! I attached that, I turned the CREAMY factor on the GRP to 11, and... here we are: MY FIRST AMBIENT JAM EVER!"

GRP A2 + OTO Bim & Bam // My new favorite MONO SYNTH
video upload by Dexba
"So I stumbled upon a GRP A2 the other day, and I already love it.
There is something cute in its 5U enclosure, like a baby modular, as the OTO are definitely cute with their boxy, a bit cryptic, design.
I wanted to record a jam that could highlight some of the most prominent features of both the synth and the pedals. We have an arpeggio, very classical, almost Bach-sounding, going into a classical delay and a short reverb, then we get to a lush, water-like, filter playing, supported by a long and frozen reverb and a way more strong, hazy delay. In the end, the jam gets modern, with no delay, a very short reverb, just to give more air, more space to a powerful jumping sequence with some gnarly filter action.
Both the GRP A2 and the OTO are a pleasure for the dawless jammer, with all you need in plain sight. The only thing missing is a proper sequencer (GRP sells one too, the R24, but it costs almost twice the A2 synth, so...), but I have my handy Synthstrom Deluge always ready for that! Enjoy ✨"
