Nice work. The Volca Drum works well with the Microgranny2. I've had the microgranny2+keystep for sometime and have had loads of fun with the two. I used a MAM ADX-1 with them with for the reason that not quite real drums tend to suit the MG2's decimated feel. Maybe edit up the intro to do some more stuff with the sample that utilises the MG2's quirkiness? It runs for quite awhile before your work kicks in. Remember the MG2 busts the sample up into 128 grains for you to work with so if you load an entire song as one single sample, the grains are rather large. When I've wanted to use a long passage for granular mutilation, such as an entire song, I've found the best results from breaking it up into five and loading them as the five elements of a preset. The MG2 does require a good amount of hands-on to mess with the way it works and sometimes can be really touchy. Practising particular tweaks is very much needed. I packed mine away while I am 'in-between' homes, but found I shouldn't have so ended up grabbing a GrandPa and Spa in December, but am yet to really mess with it. I really should make the effort to do some work with it and the Volca Drum, just some other things have been getting in the way.
Stuff I'm using: Umm right now, well there's a Volca Drum, a Micro Freak, an ADX-1, a Pulse, a Blofeld, a UNO Drum, KeyStep/Beatstep Pro/Keystep Pro (one of each), a Circuit, a LiveTrak L-12 and this nonsense: The Brief-case as it was about a bit over a year ago (the the complete ridiculous GAS monster collection here)and here
