hello,
i've been wanting a hardware device for granular processing a long time. mainly for
processing incoming audio in real time, in which case the memory doesn't have to be
too big. i think amazing things could be done with a granular module with lots of cv-
ins. bakis' suggestions look good. I guess grain size, reverse/forward and some
synchronisation possibilitiy are important features. 8-bit is fine with me.

I use a112s a lot for granular-ish processing. they are among my favourite modules
and i'll welcome more digital modules!
