Instruo Arbhar

Granular processor

arbhar heralds a new generation of granular processing in Eurorack. Sampled audio can be chopped into tiny grains, scattered, shaped, re-pitched, reversed, and layered for an endless range of audio manipulation from seamless frozen tones to mutated acousmatic madness. Each grain sounds with its defined specifications. When modulation is used, the “per-grain parameter” definition allows for true polyphonic layering.

Featuring a condenser microphone set into the front panel, built-in audio analysis for automatic sampling, and internal modulation over various parameters; this is truly a granulator like no other.
