Superlative SB01 with Roland SH-101 - production unit 2025

video upload by Antony Fewster

"Very quick play around with the new Superlative SB01 (last minute thing, apologies for the lack of lighting and shaky iphone). SB01 sequenced by the Intellijel Metropolix, SB01 keyboard (running on internal battery) controlling external SH-101.
u-he uhbik 2 beta on delay duties.
Not the best quality lighting, nor does it (not intended) show the breadth of what this can do (I only had one hand free), but wanted share an initial take how this looks and sounds in a style I'm familiar with. I'm a fan."

Superlative SB01 filter mod

video upload by Antony Fewster

"Metropolix sending gate, cv and additional cv into the mod CV input of the SB01. Gives any baseline more movement and life - a really nice addition that takes it beyond the standard sh-101. Playing around with the filter and resonance for effect."

Chaos to Beauty: Multigrain Meets Noise Plethora

video upload by Metamyther

"In this video, I dive into a powerful sound design session using the Intellijel Multigrain granular engine and the Befaco Noise Plethora to create rich, evolving textures, glitchy atmospheres, and industrial-grade sonic chaos. Modulated noise into granular synthesis is basically textures for days, unlocking new possibilities for dark ambient music, industrial techno, and experimental Eurorack compositions. If you're an adventurous modular synthesizer enthusiast looking to push the boundaries of sound design, this exploration showcases how Multigrain and Noise Plethora can become an essential part of your creative arsenal."

Intellijel Tête + Tetrapad + Multigrain Patches

video upload by Intellijel

"In this video, we combine Multigrain with Tête & Tetrapad to explore their combined potential. Tête & Tetrapad in combo mode gives us a variety of options for how to use the touch surface, while Multigrain's assignable modulation makes it easy to allocate parameters to modulation. Tête's looper also plays a part in some of the patches we developed here, leading to some interesting cyclic modulation."

"Just got back from this year´s Superbooth in Berlin. Here are some of our highlights.
Frap Tools just might have dropped the polysynth of the year. Intellijel surprised us with a stunning desktop mixer.
Haken Audio & La Voix Du Luthier’s resonator turns any synth into an acoustic instrument—and Korg’s Phase 8 is finally production-ready. Superbooth 2025 came through!”

Intellijel MultiGrain |The Grainmakers Playlist | Episode 14

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I did not expect this playlist to grow with yet another grainmaker. I am quite happy with the ones I already have and my Intellijel stealth case is already completely full. So when you already have plenty of options and no room, what better excuse is there to just get it? So here we are.

I can't just objectively use MultiGrain on its own, without considering the alternatives and Arbhar as a reference module. Is it even fair to compare it with what's already around? I think so. Objectively, MultiGrain covers a lot of ground. It's versatile and musical, but it can also do microsound adventures. However, I had to go back and forth between manual and module to find out how typical granular techniques are implemented. For instance, there's no spray, no panning, no dubbing, etc, etc. Well, it's there, but it's implemented in a completely different way. If you're familiar with granular synthesis, MultiGrain is simply not intuitive to use, even though the user interface is amazing. If you want a spray, you'll need to randomize start and length. If you want panning, you'll need to randomize level and tone. Need a threshold to start your recording? You'll need to go to the advanced sampling page which complements the main and ALT pages.

Still, MultiGrain is in my favorite top 3, but Arbhar and Morphagene are 1 and 2 respectively. I think Arbhar is more suited for musical adventures, and the Morph still wins when it comes down to splicing virtual tape and making weird sounds. MultiGrain provides a lot of both, but it will take time and patience to find what you're looking for.

I hope Intellijel will listen to their end users and work on firmware updates to streamline the experience. It would be great to splice a drum loop over the eight sounds using transient detection. It would be great if two or more sounds could play together, and it should be able to dub over a sound to make layers. MultiGrain has the potential to become the best granular module in eurorack, but not today. Not yet."

MIDI Output from the iconic Metropolix Sequencer—

Output MIDI Notes and CC Modulation from both Tracks

Output CC Modulation from 8 Mod Lanes.

Deep support for configuring Slide (Glide/Portamento) for any synth.

The Backpack offers the same MIDI functionality as Metropolix Solo , but using the Jacks on your Intellijel Case. [see Intellijel Metropolix Solo - Desktop Sequencer with MIDI]

Tucked away

The Backpack is mounted directly onto the power header of Metropolix and secured with a screw.

"A whole bunch of hardware synthesizers!

The sequences you hear are from my modular system which includes VCZIII oscillator, filter from Feedback Modules, Behringer System 100m and 2500 modules. Also some Roland System 500 gear. The sequences are mainly from the Korg SQ64 - but I've also used Behringer 960 to do some things, as well as getting the SQ64 to trigger the 182 sequencer - see if you can spot it :)

Vocoder bit was done on the Roland E4. Other strings and sounds were from Streichfett, Pro 800 and Novation Peak. Effects are MXR Flanger or in the Modular system: Strymon Magneto, Intellijel Sealegs, Feedback Modules 106 Chorus."
