Intellijel Multigrain, a stereo morphing granular sampler module

It’s about time for a new granular dream module, and the Intellijel Multigrain could be a real contender. Available now, it packs stereo morphing granular powers into 20HP and US$479. (And yes, USA, you can import this from Canada!) I’ve had an advance look at the manual and I’m ready to wrap my granular brain around this one.

Neutral Labs Pip module: morphable, complex LFOs designed to be paired

Why work in modular? One good answer: modulation. And modules are increasingly departing from more utilitarian approaches to gesture recording, morphing, and other expressive concepts. Neutral Labs Pip does all that and has some clever ideas for how two LFOs can work together. It’s available pre-assembled or with source code & DIY builds for those who want it.

Some of that brain-bending research from Paris’ famed IRCAM is coming your way in plug-in form – even (partly) for free.
