Description
GRAINY CLAMP-IT
is a granular and phase modulated additive oscillator—brand new heavy territory for
Studio Electronics... we know; wait till you hear the stunning contrast it creates when paired with our discrete
Class-A OSCILLATION module, and the inorganic to downright 1970's combo organy / CS-80-ish tones it can
generate. Pure voltage-controlled candy. Be sure to wash off the sticky...

Best to break Granny Clampett's namesake down in stages, and time travel a bit.
!
First Stage
- Additive mixing of 4 harmonics using one of 16 waveforms, and one of 16 combinations of
harmonics.
!
Second Stage
- Granular or phase modulated mixing of the signal from the first stage, with a sync option.
!
Back to the First Stage
- Additive section with selection of 16 different combinations of harmonics. The
harmonics can be based on a sinewave or on one of 15 other waveforms. There's a separate control for
mixing the selected harmonics.
!
Back to the Second Stage
- The second processing stage allows granular processing or phase distortion.
Granular processing gives you control over grain length and grain position, and can produce sync, detune, and
wave sequencing effects. Phase distortion allows the signal from stage one to "look up" non-linearly, and can
produce thick detune sounds and wildly varying pitch/timbre effects.
