Skippy Polyrhythmic SequencerSupplied with cable to connect to Zazou module (also for sale).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 Features4 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).Real-time controlCentral encoder for navigation and editingTrack buttons to select which voices are affectedInstant response (no need to stop playback)Multiple navigation modesShort click → enter/exit a functionDouble-click → activate enriched modes (Euclid, Fractal)Long press → access System FunctionsSystem FunctionsSAVE / LOAD: 100 memory slots (0–99) stored on internal SD cardNEW: instant reset to default valuesClock modes (CLK IN)POLY → averaged external clock, Skippy retains its temporal fluidityPOLYSTEP → hybrid mode: strict for matrix functions, flexible for time-based onesMATRIX → step-by-step mode, like a traditional sequencerRST → input used as Reset onlyCLK DIV: multiply or divide the external clock.CLK OUT:Clock → standard master clock outputCycle → one gate per full rotation of the red trackExpanders: compatible with EXP, LIVE, CVIN, or a combination of EXP + CVIN.General FunctionsBPM: 10–600 BPM, per track or global; external sync supportedSTEP: 1–64 steps per cycle, independently per track → instant polyrhythmsBEGIN & END: partial loops within circular arcsGATES: adjustable or proportional length (10–90 % of the interval between steps)PROBA: probability of skipping a stepCHAOS: random temporal offsets per trackWAY: direction (<, >, ping-pong, stop)SWING: rhythmic groove between stepsSPIN: rotate steps within the cyclePAUSE: 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 FunctionsGAUSS: distributes steps logarithmically or in bell-curve form to create accelerations or density peaksEUCLID: Bjorklund algorithm for evenly spaced rhythmsEnriched Euclid: ready-made rhythmic templates (Bossa, Tresillo, Techno Kit, etc.)TILES: alternating blocks of played and silent stepsPOLYR: alternation of two tempi (e.g., 4/3), stable polymetric structuresJAZZY: 32-step patterns arranged as shifting rhythmic exercisesFRACT: 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 generatorStyles include Fugue, Rock, Metal, Jazz, Afrobeat, Reggae, House, HipHop, Trap, DnB, Waltz, Canon, Blues, Disco, Swing, Bebop, Baroque …ExpandersEXP (2 HP): Reset + Play/Stop (button or CV)LIVE: Reset, Play/Stop, 16 assignable knobs (BPM, STEP, Gauss, etc.) + 4 knobs for enriched functionsCVIN: End of Cycle output, 4 Pause inputs (CV + buttons), 4 assignable CV inputs with attenuatorsEXP + CVIN: both expanders can be used simultaneouslyTechnical SpecificationsWidth: 10 HPDepth: 32 mmPower: +12 V 180 mA (≈ +20 mA with expander), −12 V 0 mA, +5 V 0 mAInternal SD card: used exclusively for saves (no user data storage)Delivered with power ribbon and screws.
