Granular Synthesis - Pulse Synthesizers Load Runner Module Demo

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2022

Today I am checking out the Load Runner Granular Synthesizer Module by Pulse Synthesizers.
Back in 2018, Youtube user John Crombie was uploading these prototype videos of a sampler in development.
It started out life as a 4-channel sampler
And evolved into the granular processor we now know [videos previously posted here]
How does it differ from Mutable Clouds, Akai S612, and Erica Sample Drum?
Let's take it for a spin and see how it sounds.

Recorded direct, no other mastering or effects.

Load Runner-Pulse Synthesizers -Granular synthesizer ideal for creating background sound

Published on Aug 5, 2019 Dziam Bass

"today I have a little bit of creating cool effects with the granular synthesizer Load Runner from pulse Synthesizers.
basically it's a small game with granulation and length, later I raised the pitch up and then down to say how cool results give you granular synth for creating textures or new ambient sounds and backgrounds.
for showing this I also used a little reverb from Black Hole DSP from Erica Synths.

The Load Runner granular synthesizer allows you to load 16bit WAV files from USB flash drive.
The selected sample is a randomly generated source of information on CV and CV.
Grain length and pitch are also controlled via the front panel or CV. Three pitch modes are selectable via the settings menu. The grain amplitude envelope is selectable from 10 shapes.
Also the term 'granular'refers to small snippets of sound ranging from 10 milliseconds to 1 second; each short section of sound is referred to as grain. An amplitude envelope is applied to different grains and textures. When multiple grains are played together, they can form a continuous sound with different characteristics."

Load Runner-Pulse Synthesizers /Granular synthesizer with vocal in music

Published on May 27, 2019 Dziam Bass

"I have today a small movie from the last use in my evening session of the Load Runner module from Pulse Synthesizers .
Load Runner is a recently released granular synthesizer module.
This time I used just the vocals in the music on which I made light pellets and the usual vocal turned into a different psychedelic vocal, released by Black Octasource from Erica Synths with a very slow lfo, drums comes from Pico Drums also Erica Synths.
Load Runner allows us to load many samples up to 15 at a time and pellet them.
everything can be loaded from the usb memory, the memory cleans quickly and intuitively so you can, in principle, change the samples and search for new amazing sounds.
The Load Runner granular synthesizer allows you to load 16bit WAV files from USB flash drive into the modules internal memory and playback grains from those samples.
he Selected sample is shown graphically on the LCD from which grains are randomly generated between the start and range lines controlled by front panel and CV.
Grain length density and pitch are also controlled via the front panel or CV. Three pitch modes are selectable via the settings menu. The grain amplitude envelope is selectable from 10 shapes.
Recording of the module output to USB as a mono 16bit WAV file allows it to be reloaded into memory for granular playback.
There is also the ability to skip between samples using CV, i.e. sample up / down."

Granular synthesizer -Load Runner / Pulse Synthesizers Marimba sample in use

Published on May 13, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Hello Guys!
I have a small demo video using the granular synthesizer Load Runner from Pulse Synthesizers.
In principle, it can be considered a small tutorial because I added some subtitles that say about the knobs when using, but this is only the first part only some function.
Load Runner is a granular synthesizer module with USB , so you can put your favorite sounds through usb from pendrive and granulate them,basically you can use everything you want, synth sample, loops, vinyl sample, voice, fx ,noises and more, here I used Marimba sample but the next video covers pads in a similar way.
for more information, I refer to the official website of the manufacturer Pulse Synthesizers which is already running.
Have Fun and Have a nice day for everyone !!!"
