Product Description
SKIES is a versatile granular audio processor developed for modular synthesisers, offering immediate, hands-on manipulation of live sound sources. Rather than relying on pre-recorded samples, SKIES captures incoming audio in real time, transforming it into immersive textures, shifting ambiences and layered sonic landscapes. By continuously segmenting audio into overlapping fragments, then applying pitch shifting, delay and dynamic envelope shaping, it delivers rich and complex outputs that evolve organically. Whether you are shaping subtle backdrops or extreme experimental tones, SKIES responds intuitively to creative input from your modular system. Selectable audio resolution allows you to dial in anything from characterful lo fi grit to pristine clarity, giving you full control over the sonic character. Stereo and mono recording options ensure flexibility for various setups, while the inclusion of a USB port on the front panel makes firmware updates simple. Housed in a compact 18 HP format, SKIES is a valuable creative tool for live performers, sound designers and studio producers seeking to explore granular synthesis in a more immediate, expressive form.
Key Features:
- Real time granular audio processing:
Captures and processes incoming sound live, creating dynamic textures using delay, pitch shifting, envelope control and overlapping segments. - Selectable audio quality modes:
Choose between 8 bit at 16 kHz and 16 bit at 32 kHz to suit your creative needs and the tonal flavour you desire. - Designed for modular integration:
Optimised for direct interaction with modular systems, processing audio from within your patch rather than external sample playback.
Immediate Creative Control:
SKIES is built to provide intuitive and immediate control over the granular synthesis process. With all processing done in real time, your sound sources are never static or predetermined. This approach fosters spontaneity and expression, letting you craft evolving sonic textures that respond to modulation and performance inputs. Perfect for artists who value immediacy in their sound design, SKIES is a tool that reacts and adapts to your creativity without needing to rely on menus or sample management.
Flexible Sound Character:
The dual-resolution system in SKIES allows users to tailor the module’s output to their creative aims. Use the 8 bit 16 kHz setting for retro, digital textures with artefacts and colouration, or switch to 16 bit 32 kHz for detailed, clean textures suitable for ambient, cinematic or polished productions. This flexibility means SKIES can adapt to a wide range of sonic environments, from gritty noise compositions to refined soundscapes.
Built for the Eurorack Format:
Occupying only 18 HP of rack space, SKIES is a compact yet powerful addition to any modular system. It operates using standard 12 volt Eurorack power and integrates easily into both studio and live setups. The inclusion of a USB interface on the front panel ensures that firmware updates are quick and user friendly, extending the module’s life and keeping features current without disassembly. SKIES is engineered to deliver professional performance while remaining accessible and easy to maintain.
