Bastl Instruments MG Monolith

The classic gadget-type granular sampler that you can enjoy on your desktop has been reborn in a black PCB housing! Record live from a microSD card containing 8-bit lo-fi samples, the built-in mic or line input, and have six samples at your fingertips and up to 6 presets.

The menu structure for adjusting grain size, play speed, etc., and functions that further expand the possibilities of surface control, such as random play, legato play, and instant loop, are the same as the previous model, but the control knobs have been replaced with ones with a better texture. Masu.

Equipped with MIDI, you can play with the keyboard, control CC remotely, and synchronize grain clocks.

It's battery-powered so you can play while walking in the park, or you can use it with a 9V power adapter (sold separately).

It also comes pre-installed with a ``Custom Sample Pack'' full of weird and awesome sounds from modern synth fluencer Bogdan Raczynski.
