Tasty Chips Introduces The Integral Dual Convolver Pedal

Demonstration video upload by Tasty Chips

"The Integral Dual Convolver Pedal

Convolution works with Impulse Responses, which can be added to the Integral via USB. This means it is not limited to just reverberation IR samples. IR's could also be something like delays, filter banks, resonators, Foley sounds and even recordings directly into the pedal itself. This versatile device is a great addition to any pedal board and sparks a ton of creativity.

Tasty Chips GR-1 Granular Synthesizer Stretch Goal Tease

Published on Sep 28, 2017 Tasty Chips

"The keyboard is split in 2 octaves. The higher octave plays within the area of a drumloop sample. The other one is playing in the area of a synth sample. Within the drumloop sample, the sample position is mapped to MIDI notes, so you can map a note to the snare position for example. This is a quick hack to test multitimbral possibilities and is not even close to be polished and included, but we will work this out when the next stretch goal is reached!! :)"

Tasty Chips Electronics GR-1 -- preliminary noodlings

Published on Feb 12, 2018 Nice and Synths

"Hello! Thanks for watching this video, or at least considering watching. This is yet another noodling video with a new toy. The Tasty Chips GR-1 granular synthesizer. A granular synthesizer breaks an audio file into tiny pieces of wheat, or on occasion barley. All audio is direct from the GR-1 into a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 with no additional processing (other than normalization.) My GR-1 was on firmware version 1.1.8 for this video.

I thought it might be useful to hear the original sample before the GR-1 patch that uses it, so I included them in the video. Hope its not too annoying.

The GR-1 *can* process live audio, but I need to get a suitable USB audio interface to try it. Another feature of the GR-1 I have yet to try are the two CV inputs. This could open up some fun control possibilities with modular gear.

A nice thing is that every parameter on the GR-1 is controllable via MIDI CC. This is shown at 7:15 where the sample position and filter cutoff are controlled with the Casio XW-P1's step sequencer control tracks. Not that you can really tell, it's not a good example of MIDI control really with the arpeggiator happening. I should've made a clearer example of that.

Apologies if the audio and video don't align exactly, I tried my best to line them up. :)"

Superbooth 2023: Tasty Chips - GR Mega

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2023, we spoke to Peter from Tasty Chips who showed us their flagship model, the GR Mega, a granular synthesizer designed for complex sound design based on samples. The GR Mega boasts many modulation options, a large mod matrix, four LFOs, 18 mod destinations, four envelopes (one freely assignable), and a step sequencer. The instrument also includes dual filters, low-pass and high-pass, seven effects (of which four can be used in parallel), and 128 presets. Peter explained that the grains in the synthesizer are generated from the samples and can be randomized in position and mixed together to create the final output.

The GR Mega is expected to be released at the end of the year.

Price: Around 1,800 Euros."

Tasty Chips ST4 Hybrid Synthesizer/Tracker Nears Completion

ST4 Kickstarter trailer Published on Jan 20, 2016 Pieter van der Meer

"Part monster synthesizer, part computer: The ST4 is a unique product, loaded with features, that combines the best of both worlds."

You might remember the prototype ST4 videos posted here, back in October of last year. As you can see, the ST4 has come a long way. Tasty Chips has launched a kickstarter campaign to help fund the project. The following are a few details from their site for the archives:


The ST4 is a unique device that combines a powerful hybrid analog/digital synthesizer with a 16-bit style tracker music machine. It has digital oscillators backed up with sampling for versatility, with analogue VCF’s and VCA’s for character. It’s packed with features, yet these are almost all usable hands-on with dedicated knobs and buttons. It’s usable stand-alone for live gigs but also mountable in a standard 19″ rack, and fully MIDI controllable.

The layout of the controls is fully linear: the entire signal path from oscillator (left) up to VCA mastering (right) is laid out horizontally for each channel.

As mentioned it’s loaded with features like the sampler, built-in mic, and the bit crusher. It has its own stereo mixer. Most of these controls are completely duplicated per channel, allowing instant access, and powerful live experimentation. Think: running your MIDI sequencer and tweaking the channel’s LFO influence and VCO, VCF, and VCA envelopes live. Or even, use the on-board tracker for this!

Features:

4 Stereo voices
Analog multi-mode VCF per channel including voltage controlled resonance.
4 Stereo VCA’s
2 LFO’s with saw, square, sine, noise and sample modes
Direct LFO modulation matrix: 4 channels x VCO, VCA, VCF
ADSR envelope for VCO, VCA, VCF per channel
MIDI IN: Monophonic on ch1..4 and polyphonic on ch5
MIDI OUT ch1..4 (via tracker)
Sampler and built-in microphone:
8 sample banks
configurable loop start, end
tuning
wav import/export
Digital oscillators: saw, square, sine, noise, sample
128 instruments (MIDI patches):
VCO, VCA, VCF env’s settings incl looping
VCF mode
oscillator mode
sample mapping
instrument chaining
Direct control of voice pair detuning
Built-in bitcrusher
3.2″ high colour TFT display
On-board multi-channel sequencer “16 bit tracker style”, in conjunction with USB keyboard:
4 channels
16 steps, panning & volume definable per step
1024 positions
powerful editor with many block functions
independent glide per channel
polyrhythm support, tap tempo, bpm display
Versatile casing usable as desktop or 19″ rackmount.
Interfaces:
4x 6.35mm channel outputs
2x 6.35mm master outputs (stereo)
1x 3.5mm line input (for sampler)
DIN-5 MIDI IN, OUT, THRU
USB A (for USB keyboard)
USB B Programming/debugging interface
SD card, for sample and song I/O
3.5mm stereo headphone
2.1mm AC power"
