The guidance

Engram combines short generated sounds with a sampler-and-groovebox workflow: users can reshape recordings, then slice and arrange the results. Thoughtful Things says the processing runs on the hardware. [S1]

September 28 is our verification date for the manufacturer's current page, not an established campaign opening date. We have not tested the device or verified the full crowdfunding terms; this is not a report of customer shipments. Documentation-based; not hands-on tested. [S1]
