Intellijel Designs Multigrain

Grand fan d'Intellijel et de granulaire, je me suis jeté dessus quand il est sorti.
J'ai eu un morphagene, un Beads, mais celui-ci est vraiment spéciale.

La partie granulaire (looper ou en live depuis la dernière maj) est parfaite.
Mais tous les éléments en plus font de ce module un outil imbatable.

Je l'utilise aussi comme une simple reverb, comme un fader de controle pour les autres modules, comme d'un enveloppe follower, comme un générateur d'enveloppe, comme un VCA...

Bref quand on le connait bien il a bien plus de fonctions d'un simple looper/effet granulaire.

I had very high expectations for this module, especially after seeing the Red means recording videos. I spent a good three weeks on the module but still came to the conclusion that it wasn't for me.

It started with loading my own samples, which I found very hard to do. For example, creating your own projects and then putting different WAV files into those banks didn't worked for me in those three weeks. Eventually I was able to put single WAV's on the multigrain, but only 1 at the time and not in a complete bank of 8.

In comparison, I now have Qu-Bit Stardust, which obviously is another module but with this it is a piece of cake to load banks with samples.

Another drawback for me was the inability to hear the entire "dry" sample. Now, I understand it's not a sampler, but it would be much easier to determine which part of a sample you want to use for grains.

All in all, a versatile module, but given its price and complexity, it's not for me.
