Grainer Tutorial // Granular on Tonverk with OS 1.1.0

video upload by Elektron

"Dive into Tonverk's new granular machine, Grainer, with this thorough tutorial from Risa T. OS 1.1.0 introduces this playful tool - alongside a host of fixes and improvements - letting you break your sample into the tiniest grains and reassemble it into new textures, strange rhythms, or continuous, evolving tones. Risa explores Grainer's parameters, as they easily open the door to wide-ranging soundscapes, shaped slowly or dialled in almost instantly, and puts together some sweet musical demonstrations via the machine's different Play Modes.

Tonverk 1.2.0 OS Upgrade

video upload by Elektron

"Tonverk 1.2.0 is here! With some lovely little festive additions to put under the Tonverk tree. We’ve got two new FX to play with, even more options with the existing FX, random mode for the arpeggiator, and further fixes and improvements.

Find out more and download Tonverk OS 1.1.0: https://bit.ly/48T1BjG"

"OS Upgrade: Tonverk OS 1.2.0
We know Grainer, and the 1.1.0 OS that fixed the sync issues, are still fresh on the block, but we had some pretty neat dishes in the oven that didn’t quite make that release. So here is OS 1.2.0, a chance to put a few more little festive additions under the Tonverk tree. We’ve got new effects, even more options with the existing effects, a random mode for the arpeggiator, and some other little additions alongside further fixes and improvements.

New effect: Steel Box Reverb

A third reverb comes to Tonverk, and it’s a whole other flavor. Steel Box Reverb draws on early digital and ’90s plate reverbs, with deliberately wide parameter ranges that let you push sounds from tight metallic rooms to sprawling, resonant spaces. It can clang, bloom, or decay endlessly, making it equally suited to metal can tails or big, characterful ambience.

New effect: Filter Folder

Filter Folder combines wavefolding with filtering and distortion to reshape sound at a more fundamental level. By folding the waveform before it passes through a multimode filter and drive stage, it adds harmonics, grit, and movement that go far beyond traditional filtering. From subtle edge and density to aggressive, overtone-rich transformations, Filter Folder excels at turning simple signals into something far more complex.

More FX availability

If those two additions weren’t enough (for now) we’ve also extended Tonverk’s FX powers in other ways too. Daisy Delay can now be used on all tracks - and Frequency Warper can now be wielded on all audio tracks, bus tracks and mix. Use these two awesome options wherever your echoing, warped heart desires.

Random Arp

Random Arp introduces controlled unpredictability to arpeggiated patterns, reshuffling note order on the fly to generate evolving melodies and unexpected variations.

And more

There’s a few other stocking fillers too. Pattern mute, improved gain reduction and new sidechain sources for the compressor, shorter samples available to use on Grainer, and improved tempo stability when simultaneously receiving clock and large amounts of MIDI data from an external source, such as Octatrack. Plus various other fixes and improvements."

Techno Live Jam - 140 | Tonverk meets Perkons HD-01

video upload by Mark Cee

"What heck, was feeling 140 today and thought about running Perkons main out into one input on Tonverk and the main send out into the other Tonverk input. Tonverk provides the FX Chain. Now I just move the sends on each Voice on Perkons. The vast amount of routing options and FX in Tonverk make it a pedal killer as well. It does a lot. Massive utility.

Perk still my favorite off all time."
