This sounds truly amazing!! I wonder how the GR-Mega will be after about 7 years from this one? But it doesn't take away the results here absolutely gorgeous!!
mythical, mystical, ethereal, ephemeral audio.......................................................................so dreamy....and a very well presented experience.....once again....
As a new owner of a GR1 - and running it through a microcosm, I’m always interested in other pedal ideas so consider me ‘intrigued’ ….. excellent content as usual and look forward to more GR1 🙏
So lush. Perfect music for the work tasks I've got in front of me today. It's a shame about the H4 and the noise though -- maybe you can revisit and do it again with the H6? This is seriously filmscore-esque. Absolutely beautiful.
I was really excited about the GR1 when it was first announced, but the lack of any analog audio inputs was a deal-breaker for me. Why they decided to omit something that would make this instrument the ultimate sound processor for live ambient music is completely beyond me. I am holding out for someone who will make that happen.
Yeah it’s a definite drawback. Nice that there’s a workaround, but when you’re traveling with a machine you don’t really want to have to bring a dedicated audio interface just for that purpose.
A small audio interface costs 30dollars. I guess they decided to omit because this thought as a an instrument in itself more than a live processor (there are many). Of course It would have been good, but it's not a drawback for me given that there Is nothing like the gr-1 in hardware.
I think it’s foolish to not have this option on it, but I have a Zoom H5 Recorder that can work as an audio interface. In fact it could be fun to field record with the H5 and port the recordings into the GR-1. Like a working combo. Mine shipped today, and I’m super stoked. So it’s definitely not a deal breaker for me, but I agree it should have jacks for audio in.
It reminds of a recording from a Steve Reich composition. A vast space, yet clearly defined and musical. The chords at 7min give me goosebumps. Such a nice way to mix organic, real life sound sources with granular processing. Thank you very much.
I own one too, it is a great device perfect for soundscapes and with a simple soundcard, mixer and if needed a microphone , you can use any soundsource. The organ is a magnificent one. Really creative and inspiring.
The ambulance reminds me of some of my university recording experiences. So many choral recording takes (and some wind band takes as well) ruined by an ambulance or a car doing a burnout from the 4 way stop.
Thanks! I actually think granular is all about the source. Sounds that change over time tend to work best - like sounds that have more distinct transients and a natural decay. The organ is not the most expressive of instruments without working at it a bit. There were still some nice sweet spots to be found in the phrases that had more movement though.
Whoa! I was so under the GAS about the GR-1. I know it it’s a wonderful piece of equipment, but the lack of audio input (!!!!) is unforgivable, hahaha! Is there some rumors about an MKII ?
Haha, another video where we can see you go through waves of emotions xD The end result is really nice, the workaround with the gr1 is a bit of a letdown. How does this beat the iridium you sold in what it does? Nice video again, I can feel you're having a good time - despite hum and trucks ;) Cheers
It’s always a struggle it seems. Ha It’s dedicated to granular, so there is more control over those parameters on the panel, though there aren’t as many modulators as Iridium. The ability to go 4 part multi-timbral is really nice. Of course Iridium can do a lot more in terms of synthesis, but you do pay for it with the price.
@@JamesonNathanJones yeah I can see that you can get some sort of option paralysis with the iridium since it's not dedicated to one form of synthesis. It still looks like a sound design monstrosity and will live on my wishlist for a long time 😅
At the same time it's beautiful but the result sounds very much like granular synthesis sound. It feels like the source is not as important. You always get that granular texture.
I actually think the source is the most important thing. The issue with the organ is that it sustains at a constant level, so it ends up sounding similar to a synth pad after processing (but with wind noise that I really like). I've found granular works best with a sample with more transients so that the grains are more varied.
I ran into some cpu spikes when working with multiple samples at high density. Between that and a clunky menu system I’m not sure I’d want to rely on it in a live setting.
It will record loops in real time, but since there are no onboard inputs, you have to use a class compliant audio interface to do so. The one I was using was introducing too much noise into the recording, so I had to shift gears and use my own pre-loaded samples in order to finish the video.
GR-1 is a granular only machine, where the Iridium can do so many things all at once. I feel like the GR-1 is more immediate for granular textures, but there’s much more modulation capabilities and depth to Iridium.
@@Tconcept I was hoping you could give me a more details answer, with almost everything you can Find a cheaper way, but many times this means it lack control, needs menu-diving ect. ( like a strymon volante, yes its not cheap, but its beatifull and the controls are amazing!) I want instruments/tools that inspire me, a big fun factor. So far I haven’t seen/heard a better competitor.
@@Tconcept I work out of the box, dawless, no plug-ins so yeah then its getting pricy, Im aware of the limitations and pehaps less options, but I need the limitation in order to make music.
@@Dolle_Man the polyend tracker has a built in granular Synth, like I said if you need to spend nearly a grand to make a single sound there's something seriously wrong. Also check out microgranny and nanobox lemondrop. 👍
I'm blown away... What an unexpected result from a pipe organ. Thanks for a marvelous, spellbinding performance.

Wow this is so epic! I love the sound of unconventional instruments being run through granular stuff like this, it's such a nice mix!
Thanks for sharing. This is a worthwhile experiment and came up with some rich and beautiful ambient textures.
So lush. Perfect music for the work tasks I've got in front of me today. It's a shame about the H4 and the noise though -- maybe you can revisit and do it again with the H6? This is seriously filmscore-esque. Absolutely beautiful.

You dont even get an IEC cable with it to power it... No idea what they are thinking.

Amazing work! When the granular synth combines with the bass organ register, it creates something magical
Agreed! I tried to choose stops that would allow the GR-1 some space in the mids. Mixing on the fly as it were 😂
I own one too, it is a great device perfect for soundscapes and with a simple soundcard, mixer and if needed a microphone , you can use any soundsource. The organ is a magnificent one. Really creative and inspiring.
Whoa! this sounds awesome!
And it seems that GR1 is way more interesting than I thought.
DAMN
The multi-timbral aspects make it really powerful. If it had audio inputs I’d be totally satisfied 😫
God I love this…
if you suddenly like the organ sound,the right sound processing was definitely chosen👌🎼
Sounds almost ethereal.. Weird in a good way!
Now that was absolutely ####### awesome.... Yummie
The ambulance reminds me of some of my university recording experiences. So many choral recording takes (and some wind band takes as well) ruined by an ambulance or a car doing a burnout from the 4 way stop.
Haha Been in that same situation as well when I was singing in choirs as an undergrad. 😅
Great video. I do feel that everything kind of sounds the same using a granular effect like that though.

Soo good👍 Golden content, Jameson! I was considering GR-1 to buy but I'm not ready for the granular hardware synth yet 🤭
Thanks! Look into Native Instruments Straylight if you haven’t. It’s my favorite granular plugin 🙌
Wow!! Otherworldly!!
Thanks Jon!
Immediately liked this based on the title
I like to think you’re at least tipsy on Jameson when coming up with these video ideas, hence the channel name … Love ya work. 😎👍🏼
Could’ve used some when I noticed the hum from the H4 😂
@@JamesonNathanJones Ha! Sláinte!
I think that might be to get my idea of an ear bleeding distorted organ of hell to work!!

I hope so 🤞
AMAZING!
Thank you!
Luvin your stuff
I want more Grambulance
It’s elusive but persistent
this was amazing
Thanks! Definitely a winning combo I think 🙌
The way an organ is supposed to sound!

gorgeous! id love to collab with you in a track in the future
so whens this gunna be in a movie
Phone hasn’t rung yet haha
Are you getting the Mega version coming out next month?
Do you think the tasty chip is stable enough to perform live while being synced to a daw, (ableton) ?
Very tempted to get the chip!
I ran into some cpu spikes when working with multiple samples at high density. Between that and a clunky menu system I’m not sure I’d want to rely on it in a live setting.

Thanks for the reply.
The GR1 may handle inputs in realtime or you have to record samples before ?
It will record loops in real time, but since there are no onboard inputs, you have to use a class compliant audio interface to do so. The one I was using was introducing too much noise into the recording, so I had to shift gears and use my own pre-loaded samples in order to finish the video.
Bach would be proud
How do you find the gr1 compared to the Iridium for soundscapes/background noisy drones?
GR-1 is a granular only machine, where the Iridium can do so many things all at once. I feel like the GR-1 is more immediate for granular textures, but there’s much more modulation capabilities and depth to Iridium.
Now I gotta figure out where to stick a pipe organ in my house
Haha I wouldn’t recommend it 😅
Гарно
The genius of Aryan invention.
😂🏁
The GR1 seems vastly overpriced.
I'm curious why? Is there any other competitor? In hardware, live oriented I mean
