GRIND?s semi-modular design with its 22 input and 12 output CV matrix provides endless routing possibilities. Hybrid power for limitless sound creation At the heart of the Behringer GRIND is its hybrid architecture combining 24 digital oscillators with a classic analog ladder filter. This unique setup enables you to create a wide variety of sounds from powerful basslines to complex ambient textures. The inclusion of 15 Mutable Instruments Plaits engines opens up infinite possibilities for sound design covering everything from traditional synth tones to experimental soundscapes. Advanced sequencing and arpeggiation GRIND’s 32-step sequencer offers a flexible and intuitive way to compose patterns. You can save up to 64 patterns across 8 banks allowing you to recall complex sequences with ease. The built-in arpeggiator further enhances your creativity by providing rhythmic and melodic movement perfect for live performances or studio sessions. Classic analog filter with modern control The GRIND’s 24 dB ladder filter provides classic analog warmth giving your sounds depth and character. The switchable low/high-pass filter mode expands your sound-shaping options making it easy to dial in anything from smooth resonant bass to crisp cutting highs. Real-time control of the filter’s parameters lets you sculpt your tone with precision. Modular flexibility for creative routing The semi-modular design of GRIND features an impressive 22 x 12 I/O matrix allowing for extensive patching options without the need for external modules. This makes it easy to explore complex signal routing and modulation setups giving you complete control over your sound. Whether you’re creating evolving drones or intricate rhythmic patterns GRIND’s patching capabilities deliver unmatched flexibility.
