Whether you’re more into Xenakis or Arca, granular synthesis has helped a plethora of artists express themselves in unconventional ways. Wanna join them? That’s where microGranny comes into play.

Our monophonic granular sampler packs grand lo-fi sound into a small body. The 2nd generation of Bastl's instant classic reads wav samples from a microSD card and applies granular algorithms to them. With a vast collection of samples at your hands, you can do much more than simply trigger each one in turn. You can adjust start, end, sample rate (tuned or free run), crush, and envelope (attack release).

Don’t fear pushing microGranny’s buttons The minimal interface keeps things simple while offering many possible styles of playing. The microGranny complements your musical gear with no fuss – with MIDI Input, you can take complete external control of all parameters and transposition of the samples or play individual grains by different keys. You can play and hack the settings as much as you like, since over the past few years, we’ve majorly improved stability and so that it’s impossible to get the device stuck in any mode.
