FAQ

Q: I placed a preorder for the GR-MEGA. When can I expect my unit?
A: Please look up your number in the production time table. It’s organized in batches. Your webshop order number should be between the start and end number of such a batch.

Q: I placed a preorder for the GR-MEGA. My postal address has changed. Where can I enter this?
A: When your unit is finished, we’ll send you an email with a webshop payment link, which also contains a form to enter your current postal address.

Q: I placed a preorder for the GR-MEGA, and did the down payment. When can I pay the rest?
A: When your unit is finished, we’ll send you an email with a webshop payment link, which also contains a form to enter your current postal address.

Q: What are the differences between the GR-1 and GR-MEGA?
A: We made this table especially to compare the two: GR-MEGA and Integral specs

Q: Can the GR-MEGA import my old GR-1 patches?
A: It can do this, but it does not support all features yet. We’re adding more features with each firmware update.

Q: I’m sure my MIDI controller is sending stuff to the MEGA, but it isn’t responding?
A: System menu → MPE Mode → OFF

Q: I want a VESA mountable GR-MEGA. Is this possible?
A: We’ll consider VESA mounting options is physically possible (the GR-MEGA is quite heavy) and if enough people chime in.

Q: I’m loading this 1 hour long sample and granular mode does nothing. What’s up?
A: Granular mode is optimized for shorter samples. Crop the sample down to slightly below 6 minutes and you should be fine.

Q: I’m using a big externally powered USB MIDI keyboard / controller, and unplugging it seems to crash my GR-MEGA??
A: Remove the MIDI controller’s power supply. Unplug and replug your GR-MEGA’s power to restart it. Only use an external power supply for the MIDI controller if you’re using DIN MIDI. If using USB MIDI, please let your GR-MEGA power the MIDI controller! This USB MIDI controller is actually misbehaving and does not conform to the USB spec. A self-powered USB device should not “backpower” a host.
