Freshly Squeezed Granular Synthesis

Polyphonic granular mini synthesizer with touchscreen control

Explore a freshly squeezed approach to granular synthesis with nanobox | lemondrop, a tabletop polyphonic mini synthesizer with intuitive touchscreen control.

Explore a freshly squeezed approach to granular synthesis with nanobox | lemondrop, a polyphonic granular mini synthesizer with intuitive touchscreen control. Four voice polyphony, two granulators and an oscillator provide a wide sonic palette—from lush environmental pads to rugged and glitched-out textures. Instantly morph and shape sounds with the swipe of a finger using touchscreen X/Y control. Choose from hundreds of professionally designed presets and wav files, or quickly create your own patches with deep parameter control via the 2” touchscreen. Integrate lemondrop seamlessly with your existing tabletop gear—or create on-the-go thanks to a compact design that fits in the palm of your hand.

i love the lemondrop! Pressing load on every preset protects your sound, but I would adore a “preset preview” mode where you could quickly audition the sound as you scroll past them

Very happy with mine. the video tutorial is great, thanks! I could of ordered mine from the local suppler here in Canada, but got mine shipped from 1010 in US (likely paid a bit more, but I couldnt wait). Looking forward to more amazing products.

[PaulRichards]

This is incredible
Been looking for something like this for years
Looking forward to getting one

Ordered this Granular synth today. I plan on running my DSS-1 samples through it. I have many additive waveforms to choose from. Once I learn how to navigate this incredible synth of course. Great product Gentleman!

Geez, I want one! I got a bunch of granular apps on my iPad, but having a standalone granular has been a dream of mine…

Nice job on this and the Fireball, both look and sound(from what I’ve heard so far) pretty killer. I’m not going to ask if any of these features will be coming to the Blackbox, can we get please get some of these amazing UI updates and additional FX? I’d kill for the distortion and ability to apply fx to the line input…

[synthesauriov]

Looks awesome, can we get the pattern parameter for the bitbox micro? I was just playing with spacecraft (which you can define the intervals for the playback pitch of the grains) yesterday and was thinking that would be awesome that my bitbox micro could do something similar!!

[monomakes]

It would be great to see some colour, and choices thereof, introduced to the UI of the Blackbox.
Would certainly increase accessibility.

[AppAxis]

Initially, I prefer the Lemondrop. We shall see.

[cemdasou]

No volume knob? Why not doing a shift function like press button + move knob = volume?

[thriceborn]

This box is amazing I only wish the lemon drop was usb compliant so I could process, resample, receive midi/send midi and granulize my iPad apps into this box and vice-versa that would be absolutely ground breaking.

[Frozirra]

The whole grain pan setting totally done by the GR-1 by tasty chips

Also if you record/import larger samples will you be able to select the 30 second chunk that is playable?

I’m getting it, I need more yellow synths in my life (I prefer the Mopho’s yellow, but beggars can’t be choosers)

Also here’s a free idea, green version special edition with a bigger screen (called - melon drop)

[binarysun_]

Mine will hopefully arrive soon so can incorporate them to my live sets in the club and on YouTube. One thing I wish though is to have midi over the USB port to rid me of cable tangle. Is this already working or possibly planned?

[walrtbstudios]

Had mine a coupla days. Pretty steep learning curve- I expected that with a ton of functionality accessed by just four buttons and two knobs- but a lot of fun. I just need a signal booster to get it to play nice with the modular setup, and there’ll be no limits…

Edit: the buttons and knobs quickly become muscle memory, and running this through Make Noise’s QPAS, Mimeophon and Erbe Verb sounds like nothing on earth. Problem is, I now want a Fireball…

9:00 to jump to line input processing external gear

[AnnesYarak]

Seems like the amount control for modulation acts like a attenuater. Acting like a attenuverter would be a nice update.

[leftmono]

As I understand it you can’t save waveforms from the audio input? Any plans to add this feature?
If not, would it be possible to record audio files on the Bluebox and swap the sd card to the Lemondrop?

[tacticalgrooveorbit]

thanks a lot for this video is there a way to loop the 20 sec buffer in live input? i mean to fix these 20 sec as a temporary sample instead of have to always refeed the buffer live input. (i don't know if i'm clear sorry)

[Gtr]

is there no way to slice up samples and sequence them?

I am just desperate for a box to be a pocket-sized breakbeat machine. OP-Z doesn't quite cut it, but comes close. PO-31 is a novelty.
