The Griffin's Claws is a seriously clever module for experimental sequencing and performance. It's a fantastic tool for sound designers and those wanting to capture and manipulate CV signals in a unique way; the faders add a tactile, hands-on element often missing in modular setups.

PROS
- • Exceptional recording fidelity captures subtle CV nuances
- • Fader response offers precise, expressive modulation control
- • Sync modes unlock creative sequencing and rhythmic possibilities
- • Compact 12HP footprint maximizes valuable Eurorack space
CONS
- • Limited recording time per channel might restrict longer sequences
- • Logarithmic fader response can be less intuitive for some users
- • The +10V/-10V signal range might need level shifting in certain setups

Frequently Asked Questions
It analyzes the incoming clock signal and automatically determines the beat length, then quantizes the recorded sequences to that rhythm, allowing for complex, evolving patterns.
While common, some modules operate at different voltage ranges; a simple offset adapter can easily address any compatibility issues.
Yes, it can handle audio signals within the specified voltage range, although the recording time is optimized for CV data.
