Elektron Tonverk Update Adds New Machine

Elektron says that Tonverk has a new machine to play with as part of a major OS update, and it's a special one. They tell us that Grainer is a creative granular machine, offering experimental yet playful routes into unlocking new worlds from your samples. Here's the details of the update in their own words...

Grainer's definitely the headliner in 1.1.0, but there are also a host of additional changes in the OS, offering significant performance and stability enhancements, as well as further new features and a huge number of improvements and fixes. Let's take a closer look!
 
Grainer
Grainer is a SRC machine that lets you chop and sculpt your sample from the smallest fragments of sound into entirely new sonic forms. You control grain amount, size, density, position, randomness, spread, direction, and more - with three Play Modes that shift it from drifting pads to tempo-synced stutters to smooth, oscillating layers. Dive in and explore - you'll likely manipulate your own wild sounds into existence. Jump over to the FLTR page and dial in Grainer's unique dual shelving filter to take things even further. Each voice can run up to eight grains, and with every one of Tonverk's audio tracks able to use eight voices, the Grainer potential is massive. It's granular made polyphonic, tactile, and expressive. 

Numerous improvements & fixes
OS 1.1.0 comes with a multitude of improvements and bug fixes all across Tonverk. The USB MIDI input and output is now functioning as intended (alongside the previously fixed MIDI over DIN), letting you create multisampled instruments yourself with ease via the Auto Sampler. Undo/Redo functionality is also accessible for paste/clear operations of patterns and track sequences, with deeper Undo/Redo powers to come. The sample browser's look and feel have been sharpened too, part of a number of navigation refinements.
 
And lots more
Other sweet new features include the addition of a Shape machine, enabling the shaping of sound on the bus and send tracks, via additional parameters on the filter page. There's also a bus compressor sidechain source, so you can choose what the compressor listens to when shaping the bus mix, post FX pan control that gives you the ability to pan the track's sound after the effects stage, Trig Preview offering a quick and easy view of what lives on each trig, a name editor in the Auto Sampler, support for loading samples in additional audio formats (specifically FLAC and ALAC - M4A and CAF), and a new handy memory-usage display.
