Hello,

I remember seeing maybe in 2021-2022 a new (sequencer) module that offered a lot of power for producing heavy swing or heavy groove in Eurorack drum triggering.

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the module, find it, or anything like it presently. I think I recall it was released 2021-2022, was 400-600 ($s, USD) at list price, and in the 24-36HP size range. It was also being marketed for Eurorack-based hiphop and related genres.

Anyone remember that module and/or know of a great current module for acheiving custom & heavy grooves in Eurorack rhythm sequencing?

Thanks folks!

think I found it: Stolperbeats Offgrid Drum Sequencer (https://www.perfectcircuit.com/making-sound-machines-stolperbeats.html) ... hence let's turn the thread from "what was that magic box?" and see if you have any preferred alternatives to Stolperbeats. Thanks!


Yup, Stolperbeats is right. I don't own one and therefore can't evaluate how it differs from the competition, but I can tell you that almost any digital sequencer on the market right now has some form of microtiming, i.e. per-step swing. I use the Vector sequencer a lot, I'm sure the Hermod family has it, too. All Elektron products have parameter locking, which includes microtiming.
On the Stolperbeats this seems to be solved algorithmically with a single encoder, whereas on the examples I mentioned, you have to edit the swing on each step manually.
