our stock of arbhar modules ship with v2 firmware installed and include the new usb expander.
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.
introducing the world for the first time to the dr lexer methodology of granular processing.
it is as the old saying goes... "nicht verzagen, lexer fragen".
