Some time ago I started work on a sequel to Oi, Grandad! It was built more or less from scratch, had lots of fancy new features and used up about 50% of your CPU simply by being turned on. This has been scrapped in favour of a more evolutionary approach. So here's Oi, Grandad! v2 as it was always supposed to be:

New Features:

  • Each voice now has (up to) four position sliders
  • Modulators now have four selectable stages
  • Per voice waveguide resonator
  • Various pitch quantisation options
  • Dedicated Master control page allowing for quick modification of each voice
  • Sync modulators to DAW transport
  • 'Led' indicators for round robin mode
  • Comprehensive, post synth routing options
  • Fancy new UI

Fixes:

  • Disappearing modulation knobs!
  • Smoother Xfade transitions
  • Drone knob now resets when changing preset

Other:

  • Max grain size is now calculated on loading a sample
  • Samples and presets are now stored outside the users home directory (Mac & windows)
  • Approx. 80% compatible with v1 presets
