Grnltr - A Granulator on the Daisy Pod

G’day All,

I’ve coded up a granulator, currently running on the Daisy Pod:

Here’s a demo (please excuse the background noise picked up by my phone):

I still need to add MIDI support, and I’m planning on porting it to the kxmx_bluemchen so there’s a screen for browsing folders of samples. As it stands it will just read the first 16 wav files it comes across in the root directory of the sd-card.

Recording from the inputs is also missing at the moment, but I figured I’d get this up on github now that I think all the other functionality is there.

Feedback and/or constructive criticism welcomed.

Cheers

This looks like so much fun! I definitely need to try this out when I have time.
I really dig how mangled the sample can sound (the example from 7:31 is awesome).

Thank you so much for sharing this!!

Sounds fun… I’ve started hacking it for Bluemchen.
It actually makes some sound in its original Pod version.

I put a WAV of Tom’s Diner on a micro SD. I’ve loved that song since I bought the CD about 30 years ago.

I’ve got a bluemchen, but I haven’t powered it up yet. I’m not surprised it makes sound, but I guess the controls don’t make much sense.
I suppose It shouldn’t take too much reorganization to separate those out.

And I don’t think we’d need too many drastic changes to make it build for several daisy platforms, probably just some defines in the Makefile and some ifdefs sprinkled through the code. Do you have any thoughts on the subject?

In any case when you get something working I’d gladly accept a pull request.

Cheers

I’d play with that

I have PCB’s in the mail for the MiniVerb from BenjiaoModular

If you’re seperating the controls, to make it run on other platforms, please consider supporting the miniverb too.

I has 5 pots on GIPO0, GPIO1, GPIO2, GPIO3 and GPIO4.

No sdcard, no encoder, no buttons - but maybe sample to ram and invent a clever interface, using only the pots ?

(I don’t know enough to make a PR yet.)

Thanks.

Yeah, this might make it a bit tricky. I also don’t have a MiniVerb, which would make it even trickier.

I just pushed some rudimentary MIDI support for anyone who’s interested. It’s liable to change once I bang on it a bit to see what does and doesn’t work, but it should be enough to get most parameters under MIDI control.
