Make It Grain. Mojave is a granular sandstorm. Drawing its inspiration from vast swaths of desert in the American Southwest, Mojave is a live granular processor that uses microscopic bits of audio to create beautifully crafted sonic landscapes. Whether you are constructing pebbles or sandstone monuments, Mojave is the perfect balance between exploratory sound design and harmonious sublimity.

Lock Activating this function preserves the audio in the buffer, preventing the live input from being read in. Grains are generated from this locked buffer, which can be scrubbed using the Zone control. Lock gate input. Threshold: 0.4V Freeze While active, all existing grains loop, and no new grains are generated while the audio buffer continues to refresh.

• Speed • Drift • Zone Dawn Color: Blue Mojave generates grains within a major scale. Color: Green Mojave generates grains within a minor scale. Dusk Color: Gold Mojave generates grains within a chromatic scale. Twilight Color: Purple Mojave generates grains with no adherence to any scales or synchronous rhythms.

Dune Output A configurable CV/Gate output that is algorithmi- cally generated by Mojave. Swap between output options via the Narwhal web app. See the manual for a full list of available outputs! CV Output (Default): Variable modulation source generated by the environmental conditions at play in Mojave.
