• Around 150 real time parameters, with full stand-alone control and editing using the touch screen and encoders,
or via MIDI over USB and 5-pin DIN (with user defined thru connectivity)
• MIDI USB HOST port for external controllers / keyboards
• Five GROUPS of (3+3) assignable encoders for instant ‘live’ parameter control via 30 virtual encoders
• Syncs to MIDI Clock with individually configurable PPQN scalers for Tempo, Drum and LFO rates, and loop length
• Automation capabilities that enable parameters to randomly DRIFT and MORPH between patches
• Full bidirectional MANUAL MORPH control between any patches with save option at any morph setting
• Powerful Expression Matrix allows every parameter to respond independently to modwheel, velocity, breath-control,
after-touch, and a dedicated expression LFO (XPlfo) modulation block
• Unique modulation blocks that mix twin waveforms selected from over 30 different wave shapes and signal sources each
• Audio rate modulation of amplitude, pitch and speech filter using the “MFO”
• Touch Sensor, main rotary encoder, and MIDI note number assignable to expression matrix controllers
• Extensive randomisation possibilities with undo
• Ultra dynamic MIDI Rhythm Generator algorithm improvises drum grooves on-the-fly as it interacts with the synthesis engine
• Over a dozen Drum parameters, with the same extensive control as synth parameters and saved with each patch
• Drum note triggers can be sent to 40 unique built-in drum kits and external MIDI devices, and act as modulation sources
• Built in stereo overdrive, (fat) resonant Post-Filter, and classic echo / looper functions
• Full stereo 44kHz analog and digital USB Audio I/O
• Store up to 1000 presets with seamless preset switching and morphing
NOTE THAT SENDING THIS SYSEX FILE TO YOUR GND-1T WILL OVERWRITE ANY PATCHES YOU HAVE SAVED IN LOCATIONS 500-599, SO BE SURE TO RELOCATE THOSE FIRST IF YOU WANT TO PRESERVE THEM.
The standard preloaded factory sounds #0-99 in the GND-1T are primarily loop and drum examples, with just a few of the patches at the end of the block set up for more traditional keyboard playing.
An additional block of “keyboard” patches is now available as a download. These are usually based on short loops acting as complex oscillators, and make more extensive use of the expression matrix. Most are intended to be controlled by the 1T touch sensor in addition to a keyboard. I hope they will be useful as templates when you first start creating your own keyboard patches.
Click the “Keyboard Patches (SysEx)” button to the left to download a SysEx file containing the keyboard patches, and send this file to your GND-1T over MIDI to install the added patches into locations #500-599.
