- lfo parameters of sound: rate, amount, destination (pitch, crush)
- instant loop feature
- micro SD card slot (plays monophonic wav samples)
- 8 presets (15 sounds each)
- MIDI input (MIDI through by special connector)
- intuitive interface
- 3 digit 7-segment display to keep track of editing
- 2 pots to tweak the parameters
- mode switching buttons

Slavoj Zizek!
I’ve been needing this since I began making synthesis, a hardware, cheap granulator, with similar functions as the fl granulator, seems like it can’t sample in real time, and the mono samples only can be a limitant in granular capabilities, but I guess i’m gonna to get one
YES!!
Yeah, that’s it, I’m getting one of these.
Looks great! Still, I’d kinda like a proper enclosure.
Cool little unit. I love standalone hardware, but for those with macs, check out Destroy FX Buffer Override, its FREE!
“Those with Windows” can check it, too. I’ve been using it since it was released… in 2002.
