Not the biggest fan of their interfaces but looks cool

Ricky's PhD can assure you the DSP is solid, even if the UI's are a bit weak.

I’ve been using DSL’s effects for several years. I’m glad that they’re taking their knowledge of granular and putting it into an MPE-enabled synth. Even if you don’t particularly care for their UI’s, the sound quality is definitely there. NAMM 2026 has had some surprising product reveals, and plenty of innovations. It’s going to be a great year!

It's too bad he gave up on the HW thing, his elec engineering skills are top notch as well.

Not seeing any modulation for the granular controls - I assume it does have some mod sources?
