Intellijel has introduced Multigrain, an eight-channel stereo morphing granular sampler.

It lets you layer grains and sequence from the eight available Sounds, which can be loaded from a microSD sample library, or recorded directly on the module.

They say that Multigrain can “transform your audio samples into everything from ethereal ambient drones to sputtering, alien machine techno, and virtually everything else in between.”

Each of the eight Sound Buttons plays grains generated from its own sample, and its own pair of Scenes. Two different sets of granular parameters, a dedicated Morphing Fader and CV allow you to smoothly morph between these two Scenes. Dedicated Select, Next and Gate CV inputs allow you to sequence the playback of all eight Sounds.

Assignable X/Y/Z CV as well as an internal Random S&H generator, can be applied to any and all granular parameters at once. Assignable MOD A/B Outputs let you modulate other modules in time with Multigrain.

Projects and Presets allow you to save, load, and organize different sets of samples and settings. 48kHz 24-bit Stereo I/O and 32-bit floating point internal processing for Hi-Fi output.

Features:

• Eight Sounds available at once — Each Sound can be freely assigned from the MicroSD card or by sampling directly into the module.
• Latch your sound for drones or use unlatched for percussive bursts of sound
• Morph Sounds between two Scenes — Two individual sets of parameters for each Sound
• 13 Dedicated Granular Parameters — 10 Per-Knob Functions, 3 Behaviour Toggles
• Built-in Per-Sound Pitch Quantizer
• Clock Sync toggle and Input
• Blur (HiFi Reverb) — Process your grains and L/R Inputs through a unique reverb
• Sample directly on the module—
  • Sample the L/R Inputs directly or…
  • Resample (internally) the L/R Outputs to reprocess your new sounds
  • Optional Normalize feature for maximum dynamic range
  • 32 Second Always-Listening recording buffer — Capture the sounds you thought you missed
  • Advanced Sample Trimming UI built into the module
• Use dedicated Next, Select and Gate CV to surf or sequence through Sounds
