matrix and non-matrix polyrhythmic sequencer
Skippy MK3 is a Eurorack module designed to explore new rhythmic forms beyond the boundaries of traditional sequencers.
Unlike grid-based sequencers that operate with fixed, regular steps, Skippy introduces a time-based logic rather than a matrix one: durations are not placed on a rigid grid; time itself is treated as a fluid material. Durations stretch, contract, overlap, or disperse according to polyrhythmic, Gaussian, random, or fractal logics.
This makes it possible to generate unexpected rhythmic structures:
– the superimposition of independent cycles;
– the alternation of asymmetrical durations;
– combinations of controlled randomness and mathematical order.
Of course, depending on the selected functions, Skippy MK3 can also lock to a regular matrix grid whenever desired.
Skippy is not merely a sequencer: it is a workshop for manipulating time, an instrument for shaping rhythm, a tool that treats time itself as an experimental material.
Main Features
- 4 independent tracks, each represented by a colored button, a concentric circle on the screen, and an output LED:
Red, Yellow, Green, Blue. Each track provides its own CV/Gate output (≈ 3.5 V).
System Functions
• SAVE / LOAD: 100 memory slots (0–99) stored on internal SD card
• NEW: instant reset to default values
• Clock modes (CLK IN)
POLY → averaged external clock, Skippy retains its temporal fluidity
POLYSTEP → hybrid mode: strict for matrix functions, flexible for time-based ones
MATRIX → step-by-step mode, like a traditional sequencer
RST → input used as Reset only
• CLK DIV: multiply or divide the external clock.
• CLK OUT:
Clock → standard master clock output
Cycle → one gate per full rotation of the red track
• Expanders: compatible with EXP, LIVE, CVIN, or a combination of EXP + CVIN.
General Functions
BPM: 10–600 BPM, per track or global; external sync supported
STEP: 1–64 steps per cycle, independently per track → instant polyrhythms
BEGIN & END: partial loops within circular arcs
GATES: adjustable or proportional length (10–90 % of the interval between steps)
PROBA: probability of skipping a step
CHAOS: random temporal offsets per track
WAY: direction (, ping-pong, stop)
SWING: rhythmic groove between steps
SPIN: rotate steps within the cycle
PAUSE: per-track mute (also via button or CV with CVIN expander)
RESET / RESET SYNC: manual or end-of-cycle synchronization (also via button or CV with EXP or LIVE expanders)
ROLL: rhythmic subdivisions and ratcheting (regular or random)
Specific Functions
GAUSS: distributes steps logarithmically or in bell-curve form to create accelerations or density peaks
EUCLID: Bjorklund algorithm for evenly spaced rhythms
Enriched Euclid: ready-made rhythmic templates (Bossa, Tresillo, Techno Kit, etc.)
TILES: alternating blocks of played and silent steps
POLYR: alternation of two tempi (e.g., 4/3), stable polymetric structures
JAZZY: 32-step patterns arranged as shifting rhythmic exercises
FRACT: self-similar structures (Morse, Sierpinski, Rule 30, Cantor, Dragon, Van der Corput, Noise)
Enriched Fractal: multi-track fractal combinations (CantorCan, DragonShf, PolyWeave, TechnoRot …)
LINE: polyphonic melodic generator
Expanders
EXP (2 HP): Reset + Play/Stop (button or CV)
LIVE: Reset, Play/Stop, 16 assignable knobs (BPM, STEP, Gauss, etc.) + 4 knobs for enriched functions
CVIN: End of Cycle output, 4 Pause inputs (CV + buttons), 4 assignable CV inputs with attenuators
EXP + CVIN: both expanders can be used simultaneously

These merchants probably sell this module. Huh?
