What Graindad can do
With up to 64 grains Graindad offers extensive possibilities to define your sound in realtime. With 12 main parameters, quick and powerful access to granular synthesis is provided.
There are basically 2 modulation systems: a classical system with modulators like step sequencers, lfo, & envelope, for familiar access. And a modulation system called Harvester, which provides an easy and playful way to control multiple parameters at once in a visual manner. These two modulation systems can then be mixed for uniquely complex results.
Randomization is a big part of Graindad - varying amounts of randomization can be applied to nearly every parameter. Furthermore, there are dedicated functions to define when randomization should be generated, for example, a transient in your audio signal can trigger a randomizer.

video upload by Telekom Electronic Beats
"Yassine Hafdane, better known to most as Yes'in, steps up for the newest addition to Electronic Beats Tech Talk series. The Casablanca, Morocco born producer and DJ has been on a never ending path of musical discovery since his early years, embracing a broad spectrum of musical styles from funk, disco, and afro-pop through to house, techno, and electronica. Nowadays his sound oscillates between African groove and European electronic sounds with a minimalistic aesthetic at its core.
Yes’in’s production career began in 2010 and has seen him releasing material for the likes of Casablanca's Cosmo Records and a number of projects on his own Afterbeats and Notonlabel. Here we see Yassine guide us through his studio workflow and share with us some of his favourite production tools found in his studio."

"Vintage 1977 Roland MC-8 Microcomposer 8-Channel Analog Sequencer, complete with the crucial proprietary data cable, as well as the original manual with demo programs, a pad of program data sheets, four CV/Gate cables that came shipped with the unit when new, and the original factory box. This is the cleanest and most complete example of this rare sequencer that I'm personally aware of. Cosmetically it's almost like new, with only a couple small nicks/blemishes. It's currently working 100% and is fully loaded with 15,936 bytes of RAM.
I tested it just prior to this listing in Oct 2022 by loading in the "Odd Rhythms" program data and recording all the parts one by one into my computer, using the MC-8's onboard sync capabilities, and everything worked fine. The demo video here is a different version of "Odd Rhythms" that I recorded with this unit many years ago.
The only quirk of this unit, that I believe to be something in the particular firmware revision that's installed, is that when running in loop mode, there's a slight hiccup at the loop point. Also, there's a similar hiccup at the very beginning of a sequence when the unit is slaved to the sync tone. Some years back I had another MC-8 that didn't exhibit these particular issues.
The only servicing I've ever had done on this unit was several years back when the clock chip needed to be replaced."
