The Grainity brings a unique and never-heard-before concept to the world of analog VCF. While being based on analog filtering only, the Grainity expands and enriches the sound in creating subharmonics, harmonies, unison, flanging effects and formant filtering all at once. The module presents two sections, the granular filter itself and a typical multimode filter, each with its own output. A third output offers a mix of both filter paths. Numerous controls and CV allow a very wide palette of results.
In the granular section, the incoming sound cycle is determined in order to step through various filtering and phase variations of itself according to predefined patterns called structures. The controls allow alterations to the cycling phase, cycling frequency offset (tuning), structure selection and frequency division of the filters cycling. This comes in addition to the usual filter frequency and resonance controls.
