Tempera Quirks and Foibles by Benge

video upload by Memetune Studio

"I’ve been exploring granular synthesis since around 1997, when Native Instruments brought out Reaktor, because it was the first system I knew of that had a granular synthesis engine built into it

But even before that I was experimenting with certain samplers that could do a sort of proto-granular thing where you could control the loop start and end end points of a sample independently, and use sliders to scroll through the sample by hand (for example on the Fairlight CMI 2X and also the Akai S612)

But nowadays we have it so easy, as there are a whole slew of desktop granular devices coming out, often based on ARM chips, such as the Tasty Chips GR units, the recent Waldorf synths, the Torso S4, Endorphines Evil Pet, not to mention the Mutable Instruments Clouds and its many derivatives

And then there's this little monster, The Beetlecrab Tempera - a strange and tiny box which takes granular synthesis and does something completely unique with it

It’s got 8 stereo granular samplers at its heart, but the way you interact with them is using the 8x8 touch-points. They are called emitters, and you play them either over midi or using some of the touch-points. You can change and trigger emitters in x - y directions, and it's all extremely complex, and things can get really wild very quickly, so as this is my first patch on it, I decided to keep it simple by using just 2 of the 8 grain samplers

I captured the samples myself using the built in mic (sample 1 is just tapping the box with my fingers, and sample 2 is me humming

It also has comprehensive mixing and FX processors, so here is a little ambient sketch done in real time, using just the Tempera

I’m going to have fun exploring this thing - especially when I integrate it into some of my modular systems, once I have got my head round its many quirks and foibles"

EVIL PET Granular Synth Feeds Itself, Ambient Exploration

video upload by substatica drones

"An ambient exploration with the ENDORPHIN.ES EVIL PET granular synth. Using the feedback effect of the EVIL PET to feed ambient noise from its onboard microphone back into itself to create wave after wave of ominous ambient swells with no other instruments or audio sources involved.

Meet ‪@Endorphines‬ EVIL PET - the creative box that is designed for anybody who has enough fantasy and imagination for using it. EVIL PET can be a polyphonic synthesizer, a granular effect unit, a radio FM tuner, a reel-to-reel recorder, sampler and more.

EVIL PET bites incoming audio into tiny grains and plays them in new, playful, or unexpected ways. Stretch, shrink, or flip the grains to create unique sounds, textures, and effects. Layer grains to make dreamy, glitchy, or swirling soundscapes. It works with any input - guitar, voice, synth, or drums - turning ordinary sounds into something magical."

RROAARRR with EVIL PET - a new little synth/granular/FM by ENDORPHIN.ES

video upload by Endorphin.es

"Welcome to EVIL PET - your granular processor with built-in FM radio. EVIL PET can be a synthesizer, an effect unit, a radio FM tuner, a reel-to-reel recorder, a sampler and more.

https://endorphin.es/evil-pet

EVIL PET bites incoming audio into tiny grains and plays them in new, playful, or unexpected ways. Stretch, shrink, or flip the grains to create unique sounds, textures, and effects. Layer grains to make dreamy, glitchy, or swirling soundscapes. It works with any input - guitar, voice, synth, or drums - turning ordinary sounds into something magical.

Audio can either come from: the input jacks, the built-in microphone, the built-in FM tuner or loading samples from a microSD card. Grains can be triggered by tactile PLAY key or via connected MIDI or MPE keyboard, allowing for expressive polyphonic performance and live experimentation.
