Grendel Grenadier RA-9 Semi Modular Synthesizer.

 
 

I have two of these so i am selling one, the unit is in excellent condition and comes with

 

Power Supply, if you don’t know what this synth can do please check out the videos of it

 

in action either on rarewaves website or youtube, it has quite a meaty growl to it.

 
 
 

The Grendel RA-9 Grenadier by Rare Waves is a unique semi modular CV-Gate synthesizer

 

with analog sequencer and filterbank.

 
 

The Grendel RA-9 Grenadier is a 1-oscillator analog monosynth with CV-Gate control. It has

 

a semi-modular design in a tabletop enclosure with 1/4 audio output. The Grenadier can be

 

played stand-alone by using its keypad with 4 independently tuneable keys, or you can activate

 

its onboard sequencer for minimal rhythm loops and tone sequences. Patch in a 1v/oct MIDI-CV

 

converter (not included) and the Grenadier can play sequences from a MIDI workstation or computer.

 
 

The Grenadiers unique palette of analog tones comes from its triple bandpass filterbank with syncable

 

modulation. Its voice is designed for electronic basslines and melodic sequences, as well as slow drones,

 

electro percussion loops, bass drums, and more. The filterbank can also become a tone source by setting

 

it to self-oscillate with warm low frequency overdrive.

 
 

The Grenadiers VCO offers square and triangle waveform. Its pitch can be modulated by the envelope

 

generator for bass drops and other tuned analog percussion effects. The VCO waveform is synced to gate,

 

for better bass output with staccato sequences.

 
 

The decay envelope generator offers a wide range of decay times up to 60 seconds. The contour of the

 

envelope can be reversed with the bipolar Envelope Depth knob, putting it solidly in the electro funk zone.

 

The Grenadiers LFO covers a wide range of 0.05 Hz (thats once cycle every 20 seconds) up to 60 Hz, and

 

can be reset by gate events for tempo-sync effects.

 
 

The patch bay allows semi-modular control and multiplies the creative options when patching to itself, another

 

Grenadier, MIDI-CV converters, and modular systems.** Fourteen patch points are provided including CV and

 

gate in and out, clock in and out, LFO rate CV, and external audio input. It accepts Eurorack-type 1/8 (3.5mm)

 

mono phone plugs.

 
 

The Grendel Grenadier has a straightforward knob-per-function layout that avoids confusing context-sensitive

 

controls. Each switch on the front panel has a red status LED that is easy to see, but not glaringly bright. The case

 

is built of laser-cut steel with durable powder coat and silkscreened graphics. It has a sturdy-feeling build, weighing

 

in at nearly 2 pounds. Grippy rubber feet elevate it above the table, and a pair of polished metal handles double as a

 

roll cage to protect its control surface.

 
 

The Grenadier is built to satisfy the need for creative analog equipment that stands the test of time.
