As has become tradition, every spring we release a new sound pack for the GR-1. This is a total of 32 patches that explore most of the GR-1 sonic capabilities. They cover the full spectrum from tranquility up to full-blown chaos. Some of patches feature micro (very small) grains, for phaser like effects, amongst things. Download here: GR1 Spring Pack 2021.

In our ongoing effort for the most stable firmware, we’ve just released version 2.4.2. Again this eliminates annoying bugs and glitches in the workflow, especially concerning sampling. It also fixes a sneaky crash, and correctly implements sustain/hold pedal support, finally. All in all, quite a good reason to upgrade, and another step closer to “perfect” stability. Release notes. You can upgrade using LAN or by downloading it from our GR-1 downloads page.

The remaining firmware issues are mostly minor ones. We’ll release a version 2.4.3 that covers those. After this, we’ll start developing version 2.5 with a bunch of new features. We’re open for feature requests. Reach us at info@tastychips.nl !

To show even more GR-1 support, we’ve completely re-organized the manual, and redone all the illustrations. Download or view GR-1 manual 2.4.4.

That’s all. Until next time!
