At Superbooth 2026, we caught up with Pieter from Tasty Chips Electronics who presented their latest innovation, the GR-2 This compact synthesizer stands apart with its advanced features and smaller footprint compared to its predecessor, the GR1. It introduces a fully responsive touch screen and an intuitive interface that facilitates the manipulation of granular synthesis.
The GR2 enhances your experience with quick access menus, a comprehensive modulation matrix, and versatile control options, allowing for sample manipulation both visually and interactively using touch and fader controls. The modulation capability, with 120 destinations and a drawing mode for XY modulation, supports extensive sound design possibilities.
The device, designed to make sampling not only heard but also touched, manipulated, and seen, is currently available via Kickstarter, offering various tiers for involvement and support. Despite its advanced functions, it remains portable and user-friendly, matching professional musicians' needs for versatility and compactness.
