Versatile VCF
GRIND's classic 24 dB ladder filter, lets you freely experiment with Cutoff Frequency, Resonance, and Modulation, to dial in the perfect sound. The Filter Mode switch can be set to either low- or high-pass for selecting the range of your choice.
Onboard Sequencer and Arpeggiator
GRIND's sequencer allows you to program up to 32 steps of notes and rests and save them as a pattern. You can record, save, and recall up to 64 patterns, all of which can be stored in the 8 banks, each holding up to 8 patterns. Your sequences can be played either in Keyboard mode, where you create and store the pattern, or Step mode, which allows you to interact while composing a pattern.
Analog LFO
Thanks to its dedicated and fully analog low-frequency oscillator (LFO), GRIND lets you choose from either triangle or square waveforms, and features an LED that provides visual feedback of the adjustable LFO Rate.
