A live, semi-improvised synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.
In my previous video, I tried the Walrus Slöer reverb pedal with a few fun synths. During that session, I stumbled into a chord progression on the Nymphes that sounded really lovely with the Slöer, and this track was born from it.
I knew it needed some accompaniment that matched the feeling, so I brought out the GR-1, my favourite granular hardware. With its four-layer timbrality, I could both create textures, and also use a timbre to double the Nymphes for some building/progression. I'm really happy with how hardware explorations can quickly lead to finished songs, and this is no exception.
Dreadbox Nymphes into Walrus Slöer - Pad
Tasty Chips GR-1 into Meris LVX - Four granular synth sounds
Arturia Keystep 37 - MIDI controller
Kenton MIDI Thru (not seen) - MIDI Thru
Performed and recorded live, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.
Thanks for listening.

Amazing jam dude!
Dug up a lot of emotions, this one. Sat there listening with a lump in my throat. That Nymphes sure has a gorgeous sound. Loved the gradual release of the filter. Come to think of it, a lot of Dreadbox gear I heard sounds great. Anyway, thanks for this. Wonderful.
I got´m all - besides the , now - crazy rare Dreadbox Abyss , and the Hades ,- and its seemingly impossible to make them sound anything but Soulful and Lyrical - i put them up there with the Moog´s anyday !
You always create a rich, evolving and captivating piece. The beauty is in the simplicity. Like a great chef, you don’t need to complicate a dish to make it come alive. By using good ingredients and purposefully putting them together you can create magic. Thank you for the vibrations.
Beautiful
That Nymphes is my workhorse these days - such a small package with a monster 00mph ,,✨💪😉
sweet, somber tones..............I like how you've got it divided into the bright side, and the dark side.............Love this collection of gear..............so powerful, complex, diverse and capable of much exploration................well played....it's strange - but these days, I don't seem to see a lot of videos where people are actually 'performing' with keyboards anymore......this was brilliant in every way
Man if the Webb telescope ever needed sound too entertain itself with that sound has my vote, what a very relaxing and peaceful composition that was nice job Jay!!😇🤗❤
If Aliens were to pass by in this very moment - i believe they`d stay ,-
Beautiful.
Its not just beautiful music but very technical behind it all.
Immensely clever.
It like " less is more" when you know what you are doing and with what!!
This was perfect for my wintery walk to the station in frosty Melbourne - thanks, Jay!
Another gorgeous composition: peaceful and complex simultaneously 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for ambient me so many good moments
This sounds so peaceful yet complex and interesting to listen to thanks to the granular richness of the textures. Thanks for more great sounds
Awesome. Really well balanced and considered 👍 Good to see the GR-1 getting some love
Love it. Great reminder of what you can accomplish with a small setup and a subtle approach.
Gorgeous as always. You’re creating some of the most musical synthesis content on the platform.
Stunning work. Absolutely beautiful
Just wonderful.
Very nice and peaceful... 👍👍👍
Absolutely amazing. With all the explanations it is stunning sound and a little teaching as well. Perfect, thx!!!
An amazing performance. Thank you very much!
Amazing setup, beautiful piece!
Really nice. Thanks for making this and putting it out there.
absolutely amazing!
So beautiful and relaxing: thanks! 🌻🌅
This was beautiful!!! 💜💕 The slöer is just magic in a box!
Hi Jay,
I've told you a couple of times before, but I'm gonna repeat it again: you are one of the best musicians that I've ever heard in my whole life, so creative and delicate with sounds. You give synthesis another level, man.
In this case, this sound reminds me of Yamaha CS80, Vangelis, and Blade Runner sound, but more charmy and elegant.
Keep on doing these videos and sharing with all of us, please. Thanks a lot.
That was great - the combo of the Dreadbox and the GR1 worked really well - I love the GR1 - incredible piece of kit - can get lost in it for hours 🙂
Such a sick vibe jay. Makes me want to play with borderlands! Thank you
This is a great track, Jay. Kudos.
Spectacular!
Fantastic
Wow, that's beautiful mate 😊
C’était très beau. Merci pour ce moment. À bientôt
You rock dude I love your work!!!❤❤
Nice! The nymphes and slöer is a mighty tasty combo! I could see them gelling really well with the PWM Malevolent and DFAM setup you used for that apocalyptic jam! Would love to hear another one of those some day!!! 😋🤠
That was an ✨experience✨ my dude… magic
Beautiful track
So good! Very pleasing!
One of your best ! Love this.
Geez, really nice.
nice jam. super chill. i want a GR-1 for my own music so bad!!!!
Good stuff!
very nice
So tasty! Awesome !
Wonderful!! 😌🎶🎶🎶
You are a poet.
Love this!
❤ sweet grains
Beautiful! Please us know how the Nymphes audio goes 'live' into th GR-1... :)
I'm not actually running audio into the GR-1, but rather sending the MIDI notes to GR-1 as well. And thanks!
Thank you for your quick answer Jay, and again Bravo!!!@@JayHosking
Nice composition Jay! Any chance you could dust off the NDLR to partner with the GR-1+LVX?
NDLR and GR-1 is a fun idea!
Great piece. Thanks for the moment. The GR1 looks amazing. Will the new torso be anything like it ? How does pitch detection work with samples you put into it ? Must they be within key ? Or will the granular engine sort that out when you play a given note ? Curious about that... (keep posting, your sounds are great)
I have no idea about the new Torso, and I'm not sure how much anyone knows as of today. There is no pitch detection on the GR-1, but you can quickly and easily tune it to where you want. Usually I'll just have the voices tuned up to different notes that work together. And thanks!
😭....... Pure Hoskingianna .......🥲
nice
Was that just one voice being used on the granular and you are boosting the decay? I've got one but struggle to integrate it into my workflow. Excellent sounds!
No, it's four different timbres on the GR-1. Three are playing (with the play button), and one is receiving the same MIDI data as the Nymphes (shows up partway through the song). And thanks!
That’s definitely your go to sound on the nymphes Also I’m gonna say it sounds much better than using the night sky. The night sky in my opinion, I’ve owned it twice and I’ve used it with this synthesizer. I could never get it to sit right Reverb just had too many harmonics. Just my opinion. The sloer fits very nicely.
Great sounds here Very nice
Hello Jay , quick questions ; if i can only buy 3 pedals. 1- best reverb pedal for synth , 2- best delay pefal for synth, 3- best effect pedal for synth Thank you
Hi there. I talk about this topic here (at 18:35): ua-cam.com/video/Ga7-sUjHY0c/v-deo.html
So is it me… but the GR-1 doesn’t get much love? Looks cool and sounds good (to me)… so what’s the deal?
I love mine! It’s my favorite granular synth.
It's a really great synth. But it's a smaller company, relatively high price point, and not available in a lot of local shops, so it's mainly spread by word of mouth and videos. But it's easily my favourite granular. Great layout, great capabilities, and great visual feedback on screen.
@@JayHosking cool... thx
I feel at church.
