Rick edited this page Aug 22, 2023 · 38 revisions

Oi, Grandad! consists of four voices with identical controls. In most cases, these controls can be modulated using the step sequencers or the internal tracking. When a control can be modulated, a menu ​to select the modulator and an attenuator to set the mod amount will be displayed next to it.

Oi, Grandad! features 12 flexible modulators. Depending on how they are configured they can act as envelopes, LFOs envelope followers or step sequencers.

The sequencers

  • Tempo: Sets the tempo
  • Multi: Divides the clock
  • Mod: Modulates the tempo
  • Trig: Determines the trigger source
  • Dir: Switch between forwards and backards
  • One: One shot mode, the modulator will not repeat once it has completed it's cycle.

The sequencers

When in graph mode right click removes selected points, holding the right mouse button introduces a curve. When in step mode, right click creates "ruler", allowing you to draw straight lines.
