Note: new Arbhar modules include the USB expander and have v2.0 firmware installed.

Arbhar | noun (envelope) a containing structure or layer, a curve joining the successive peaks of a modulated wave.

Arbhar heralds a new generation of granular processing in eurorack. Sampled audio can be chopped into tiny grains, scattered, shaped, re-pitched, reversed and layered for an endless range of audio manipulation from seamless frozen tones to mutated acousmatic madness.

Featuring a condenser microphone set into the front panel, built in audio analysis for automatic sampling and internal modulation over various parameters; this is truly a granulator like no other.

In 2019 the launch of the arbhar heralded a new generation of granular processing in Eurorack. Sampled audio can be chopped into tiny grains, scattered, shaped, re-pitched, reversed, and layered for an endless range of audio manipulation from seamless frozen tones to mutated acousmatic madness. Each grain sounds with its defined specifications.

When modulation is used, the "per-grain parameter" definition allows for true polyphonic layering.

With the introduction of firmware version 2 (2023) comes a complete rewrite of the entire codebase to implement both technical and conceptual improvements that will enhance the entire user experience of the arbhar. We have ensured that the overall feel of the module has been preserved as much as possible. Advances in efficiency and expanded features will allow the arbhar to explore many more sonic and musical spaces.

Meet the Lexer Method 2.0.

The arbhar V2.0 firmware expansion pack includes everything you need to get started
with the new update. Plug and play!

A 2HP expander module introduces front access to the arbhar's USB port for extra
convenience accessing the new scenes and parameter configurations in addition to
saving and loading audio samples.

Included is a new USB drive (8GB) which contains the Instruō arbhar library containing
216 samples produced by the team.
