Speak & Glitch GND-1T 2025

- mint condition

- comes with custom hard case

- midi cable

The GND-1T (Glitch&Drum 1 Touch) is based on a faithful emulation of the TMS speech synthesis chip found in the classic vintage Speak and Spell game. It was inspired by many years of circuit bending hardware Speak and Spells to produce musical sounds, but takes it far beyond anything that’s possible in hardware. It offers a whole new approach to chip sound synthesis, looping and rhythm generation.

Faithful emulation of the classic vintage Speak and Spell speech chip

• Digitally circuit bent and capable of so much more than in hardware
• Synthesis: formant / vowel / glottal / speech / rhythm / groove / circuit bent / glitch / complex oscillator
• Expansive / feature rich / sophisticated / deep architecture allows you to get inside the speech synthesis chip
• and explore this highly unique synthesizer (This ain’t your dad’s spelling machine)
• Around 150 real time parameters, with full stand-alone control and editing using the touch screen and encoders,
• or via MIDI over both USB and 5-pin DIN (with user defined thru connectivity)
• MIDI USB HOST port for external controllers / keyboards
• Five GROUPS of (3+3) assignable encoders for instant ‘live’ parameter control via 30 virtual encoders
• MIDI clock master or slave with direct clock sync of Drum triggers, Echo delay time, LFOs, Tempo, and Block Step Morphing
• Additional MIDI clocked scaling options with individual PPQN scalers for Drum Rate limiter, LFOs, Tempo, and Loop Length
• Automation capabilities that enable parameters to randomly DRIFT, and MORPH between patches (with lots of modes)
• Full bidirectional MANUAL MORPH control between any patches with save option at any morph setting
• Powerful Expression Matrix allows every parameter (including MIDI clock BPM) to respond independently to modwheel,
• velocity, breath-control, after-touch, and a dedicated expression LFO (XPlfo) modulation block
• Unique modulation blocks that mix twin waveforms selected from ~40 different wave shapes and signal sources each
• Audio rate modulation of amplitude, pitch and speech filter using the “MFO” (Medium Frequency Oscillator)
• Touch Sensor, main rotary encoder, and MIDI note number assignable to expression matrix controllers and much more
• Extensive randomisation possibilities with undo
• Ultra dynamic MIDI Rhythm Generator algorithm improvises drum grooves on-the-fly as it interacts with the synthesis engine
• Over a dozen Drum parameters, with the same extensive control as synth parameters and saved with each patch
• Drum note triggers can be sent to 40 unique built-in drum kits and external MIDI devices, and act as modulation sources
• Ability to also trigger the built-in drum sounds using external MIDI channel 10 note-on events
• Full stereo 44kHz analog and digital USB Audio I/O , stereo overdrive, (fat) resonant Post-Filter, and echo / looper functions
• Store up to 1000 presets with seamless preset switching and morphing
• Store up to 1000 instantly switchable Driftbuffers
• Store up to 1000 SCENES that can capture and recreate complete GND-1T (morphing) states
