To get your GR-1 Granular Synthesizer up and running (stand alone), you can simply connect your
headphone and follow the next steps:
1. Connect the adapter that came with your GR-1 to the DC connector at the back of your GR-1
and turn on the on/off switch (see figure below). The display and buttons should now light
up.
2.
Press the "play" button, a single voice will now play constantly and "bank" button 1 will light
up, indicating voice 1 of 4 is playing. The other 3 "bank" buttons will trigger voice 3-4 to play.
When the shift button is lit, the ADSR sliders will now function as pitch controls for the 4
voices, making it possible to play chords and drones. See
