Meet Oddment

The Groc synthesizer was an idea forming in the mind of industrial designer Paul Evans when he met John Woodruff, who had just stepped away from developing hearing-assistive audio tech at Apple.

John was so excited by Paul’s concepts that he founded Oddment Audio to work with Paul and bring Groc and other tools for sonic exploration to life.
