Tempera is a new granular instrument by the makers of the Vector Synth: www.vectorsynth.com/
It features 8 sample slots, each represented by a verticle column, that can be played back polyphonically, 4 granular emitters, envelopes, lfos, a filter, and a reverb.
I've been alpha-testing this unit and have made some content for it. Check it out in person at Superboooth 2023.

Since everyone is asking, the developer of this said he wanted to hit around 650 euro for the price point. Please do not quote me on that, as circumstances may change.
Surprisingly inexpensive then.
sounds very promising, really looking forward to it!
We are living in a golden age of bloop boxes.
it really is amazing what the hardware renaissance has given us. FPGAs exploding in popularity and solid state tech getting cheaper than ever has revived an interest in embedded programming and hardware design. to call the bar "raised" is an understatement- it's more like the bar got nuked into orbit and we're all just along for the ride. i love it!
i should mention too that i dont even recall there being this amount of incredible tech even five years ago. there was some of it of course but something about this new decade has given artists and hardware engineers alike a re-fascination with technology. some sort of seismic paradigm shift occurred like three years ago- covid being the inflection point of course- and ever since it really has been a new golden age for audio technology.
@@tennisgenius It'd be interesting to read a breakdown of how some of these prodcts are developed. I assume that single board computer tech, Raspberry Pi type hardware, is core to offerings by boutique companies, which is cool.
All of this happening during a massive chip shortage too is crazy.
I'm all for it!! ❤
I'm loving this kinda granular revolution we've been going though for a little while now. It's such an exciting space!
Space really is the right word for it, too. Lush and gorgeous sounds here.
What a fantastic beautiful little machine! I am not musically-technically minded at all and I don't understand most of the music lingo but when something sounds so good it makes your eyes water, you know you're onto a good thing ❤ watching your hands dance around whats essentially an incomprehensible panel of lights is like watching you weilding magic
What an interesting take on a granular instrument. So many great ideas.
Now if only it were an iPad app...
I don't need this at all but man do I love that it exists. thanks for sharing it so beautifully
I, however, need this. Wonder how hard it is to get a kidney out and ship it?
Just preordered. Really looking forward to this one.
Super cool unit! Am I the only one who wants it to include some sync'd sampling/looping capability as well?
Wow, that sounds fabulous, especially where you used the orchestral samples. That timpani is haunting.
Really nice instrument and a great demo, thanks Jeremy
"or left and right through other samples" - wow ok, I don't think I've seen that outside of Madrona Labs Kaivo's use of multi-channel WAVs. Really a lot of very innovative ideas in this instrument, impressive stuff! The set of wavetable samples really got me.
Yeah that’s such a wonderful and novel idea.
what a beautiful instrument. i've been in love with granular synths and processing for years and tried almost all the software versions out there. i love that there's no giant screen on this, it forces you to play and use your ears and just be creative. the UI seems very intuitive as well. excellent demo.
Wow, thank you for this video Jeremy! 🙏I own & love the 'GR-1' and various granular VSTs but after watching this I know that sooner or later I will also add it to my granular 'arsenal', fantastic and inspiring piece of gear!
Great innovation! The orchestral sample demo was fantastic!
This is wonderful. I've just pre-ordered it! It's a long wait so I'd love to hear some more examples. More please.
Amazing performance instrument, and great video presentation. Can’t wait to see this in person - off to Berlin tomorrow.
was just re looking into hardware granular synths and came across this one, thank you for the presentation!
Sounds great, huge, can't wait to hear more.
im by far not capable enough to make the most out of hardware like this, but im absolutely in love with the possibilities this enables
Same here, but I keep buying them for some reason. I have a Synthstrom Deluge and a Dirtywave M8 that I’m not great at, but I still love playing around with them anyway. Think those two are enough for me for now though. Must…resist…the…temptation.
I am afraid to get something like this.... I would get this, play with it, come up from the basement, and everyone would say: ""You're ALIVE....!?! You have been gone for 16 years, we thought you were dead....!"" =)
Absolutely love the orchestral stuff going on there! Amazing!
I didn't think there was anything new that could be done with granular synthesis but this emitter grid interface is really intriguing.
Right?
Super, super cool. I love these stereoscapes so much.
That looks and sounds so fulfilling . Love it
love this one!
Nice. It's good to see more granular hardware popping up. It's a great tool and so far we've mostly only seen it done with any depth on software apps.
I love that you mentioned Borderland, for 9 solid minutes I was thinking “ this is hardware Borderland”. Cool device. Granular is one of the most creative type of synthesis. Further reading: microsound by Curtis Roads
Love this walkthrough. Nice one Jeremy. Tempera sounds fantastic, looks like a deep and twisted rabbit hole.
Great demo. Those wavetable samples you made and played really stood out for me.
Wow , very interesting , look fwd to finding out more about this awesome unit
This is one of the sickest pieces of gear I've ever seen and it's way out of my league to play. You really made it come alive!
Definitely needs little a few drum like waves to add. Being a sampler I guess you can add in percussion with those sequences. This thing looks crazy awesome
Love my Vector and their team! No doubt this will be great too.
That is just all around wonderful.
this looked really interesting, can't wait to watch this
@5:10 Jeremy, you may take this compliment for granted but this was a beautiful piece of music.
that wavetable example was really dope.
It’s very cool. In the right hands, it looks like it will be a wonderful instrument.
Wow this was beautiful to listen to!
Amazing synth can't wait to play it :)
Tempera looks fun, fun. I love my Vector. Looks like it's going to get a little brother now.
Nice demo! Refreshingly original instrument.
It's sounds so great and i find it very beautiful
What an exceedingly pleasant video. Just a joy to let happen. Thank you so much
Love the UI and unique idea.
12:00 that sounds a lot like the chemical brothers' escape velocity, specially the final section, 9min+. I wonder if they use granular synthesis to get to that sound, whenever these plucky "lights sound" show up I always think of them. Thank you Jeremy you make me want to make music
The sound quality on this is otherworldly.
Really looking forward to pairing this with an Osmose
If only Animoog had longer sample playback time , yes Borderlands is amazing….the design of this device is soul interactive. Beautiful Design.
Awesome video! I feel like you showed a huge range of the capabilties of this sweet lil device. I kinda want one now >_>
Man your demos are the best
7:50 min. left me speechless. This is exactly the missing link in my setup! Thank you for the mind-blowing vid
Wow! I 'm really liking this! Hope it's out sooner rather than later (and let them know if they need a Beta tester, I'm available!)
Starting at 1:20 ish I started to get real Porter Robinson Nurture vibes. Reminds me of wind tempos. This instrument looks sick!
beautiful!✨
This looks like the granular instrument I've been waiting for. I kind of wish that the samples went cross instead of down, but that's pretty minor. Sounds lush AF.
RE the samples up/down - I wonder if they envision holding the unit in both hands and you can play the samples with your thumbs?
@@mrclean111111 good point, that does sound like it would be more pleasing. 💚
turn it sideways
mmm... the stuff leading up to the 10:00 mark is... muah!! *chef's kiss I think I really like this thing. thanks, jeremy!!
ps... yes... the link I'm the description is no bueno.
Been waiting for a sort of hardware version of Slate & Ash's Cycles. Looks like this might be it!
Totally
Now that’s what I would call innovation. Love the concept ❤
Holy frickadoodle, running orchestral samples this way is a stroke of genius!
Oh now THIS is up my alley.
AYYYY, this is just like the one mode on the
A fuck I can’t remember what that little thing was - there was a little modular synth that did something similar but chip shortages killed off production
Tres tres dope. Bravo mon amis ❤
Amazing, thank you!
I feel like I'm living 20 years into the future with the release of this!!
I could listen to that all day
Beautiful sounds, exciting interface. Only question I have is whether there’s an audio input for sampling / live granular effects?
Yes for sampling. Trying to get them to make it trs stereo. Right now it's mono but they seem open to a small revision.
This thing seems VERY much inspired by Plinky, which also has 8 columns of capacitive touch interface to (among other things) play back samples with multiple playheads (8 in plinky's case). Looks and sounds like it too.
Buuuuuut, Vector Synths seem to have expanded on Plinky's granular sampler a lot; the emitters, but also the box itself, which looks very solid. And the fact that it will probably be a lot more available
Looks awesome
Conway's game of life looking ass instrument. I want it.
Okay yeah I'm def keeping my eye on this one
This thing sounds gorgeous
Lovely❤ if it comes in white and the encoders silver. I’m buying.
WOW!
The only part about this that sucks is that they don't seem to use the name Beetlecrab anymore. Was a dope company name.
Tempura :)
Looks very interesting!!
This needs a conway's game of life algorithm
Agree
Yes! How can they pass up the chance to add that? Aren't they nerds?!
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. When is this available and does it support MPE?
Such a beautiful machine.
OK.. now THIS looks like a fun instrument to perform with. Very nice. :)
This looks so sick
Fantastic!
Amazing overview per usual - I think I need this right?
This looks really cool.
Very cool!
Superb stuff ... looks very interesting :)
wow - loving the sounds it can make plus it seems pretty intuitive - question: can it hold multiple banks of 8 samples at once or do you only ever have one set of 8 to play with?
Multiple
Wow, killer demonstration and explanation (and instrument too). Granular synthesis is very overwhelming to me, you made everything here super digestible for dummies like myself, thanks! That orchestral section was absolutely gorgeous.
Wow this thing is extremely interesting! I want one...
Oh my! 🥳
Oh man, I love these noises
This looks really interesting!
the orchestral stuff sounds like bartok, that's amazing. and the outro jam was so nice i forgot i was writing this comment and fell asleep
Oh my, I'll definitely check this out at Superbooth! It'd be swell running into you. :)
Bravissimo!
Wow, this is amazing; looks like it would make me want to immediately play with it omg
Welp, I just preordered it after watching this video SO EXCITED
Thanks you for Heaven and Hell tracks, I love it and will use on next video!
It'll take a lot to tear me away from Emission Control 2 / Borderlands, but this is dangerously close! It's nice to see so many granular-capable devices (and true granular too, not just moving loop points through a sample) appearing all of a sudden.
Cool stuff!!!
