What GRID II does
Most sequenced instruments are based on triggering individual sounds, as in drum machines, while GRID II takes a hybrid approach with two main modes. The developer describes the instrument as designed for discovery and experimentation, and sound is produced by eight voices whose relationships are controlled rather than each voice being played directly. The controls sculpt the output across a range that the developer describes as running from synthetic percussion to morphing textures. Because of this, playing GRID II can feel like an abstract experience. The fill grid starts a sequence, and the signal can be fed back into itself to transform the sound further.
A free download of the Windows and macOS builds is the usual query, and direct download link and torrent results are common.
