Superbooth 2019: Gotharman’s Musical Instruments has announced the Tiny LD, a shrunken down edition of its Little deFormer 3 granular synth workstation.
The Tiny LD runs the same full firmware from the Little deFormer 3 but minus a few features, with fewer buttons and rotaries, as well as a reduction in sample memory to 43 minutes.
The new model will also feature just the one filter board connector and does away with CV I/O altogether. However, don't let that discourage you, as the Tiny LD is still rammed with features.
Tiny LD specs
- Granular workstation with 16 parts / 8 stereo voices
- Each part can be synth, sampler or noise
- 43 minutes of sampling time
- 2 filters per part
- 8 insert effects and 2 output effects
- Polyphonic sequencer with 16 note tracks and 32 CC tracks
- 64 random generators, 16 LFO's, 24 envelope generators
- Stereo in and out
- Morphing
- Optional analogue filter board
The diminutive synth is available for pre-order now at €809, with the optional filter board priced at €105 and it looks as though the first units will start shipping in June 2019.
