Start the engine
At the heart of GRIND are 24 digital oscillators, including 15 Mutable Instruments Plaits engines, which allow you to create a wide variety of sounds, from ethereal pads to lustrous chords to funky bass lines.

Engines include:

Virtual Analog
Waveshaper
FM
Grain
Rain
Noise
Dust
DX7
TD-3 Bassline
Wave Generator
Vox

Versatile VCF
Equipped with a 24dB ladder filter, with freely adjustable cutoff frequency, resonance and modulation. The filter mode switch can be set to low pass or high pass, allowing you to choose your preferred range.

ONBOARD SEQUENCER AND ARPEGGIATOR
GRIND’s sequencer allows you to program up to 32 steps of notes and rests and save them as patterns. You can record, store and recall up to 64 patterns, with up to 8 patterns stored in each of 8 banks. Sequences can be played in either Keyboard mode, where you create and save patterns, or in Step mode, where you can play patterns interactively as you compose them.

Truly Analog LFO
A dedicated, fully analog low-frequency oscillator (LFO) gives GRIND a choice of triangle or square waveforms and features LEDs for visual feedback of the adjustable LFO rate.
