First steps with Kaona Sisyphus

video upload by Kaona Modular Music

See the announcement post for addtional details.

"First steps and a little exploration of the Lowpass filter...

Sisyphus is a Eurorack module that combines granular manipulation with a palette of eight filters developed specifically for granular synthesis. Its “engine” allows up to twenty micro-sequences (grains) to be combined into patterns, each individually controlled by independent filters. As a result, these filtered grains can coexist within a single stereo audio stream."

Kaona Introduces Sisyphus Granular Eurorack Module w/ 8 Original Filters

via Kaona

Google translated:

Sisyphus is organized around a granular engine and a palette of eight original filters. Its granular system allows several grains to coexist in a single stereo sound stream that combine with each other.

This filter is based on a global granular design of the sound: it is not a granular engine followed by a filter but a real integration of filtering in the process of establishing the grain. Each grain generated carries the filtering characteristics defined by the musician and will be combined with the other grains according to evolving and configurable patterns.

The filters have been the subject of a completely specific development and are not from the usual libraries: they will therefore have a specific color that we let you explore!

Filters
→ Lowpass
Attenuates high frequencies beyond the cutoff frequency. Filter at 12 dB/octave.

→ Highpass
Attenuates low frequencies below the cutoff frequency. Filters at 12 dB/octave.

→ Bandpass
Let a band of frequencies around the cutoff frequency pass. Filters at 12 dB/octave.

→ Notch
Widens around the cutoff frequency and lets the rest pass.

→ Peak
Boosts the band around the cutoff frequency, while letting the rest of the spectrum pass without cutting it drastically.

→ Comb
Creates a series of cancellations and resonances, based on an internal delay and feedback.

JOEY, a random rhythm generator from Kaona

video upload by Kaona modular music

"Joey is a Eurorack module that generates random gate sequences. it’s a very straightforward module that provides unexpected yet controllable sequences.

It offers three main modes:

• Random: for random triggers controlled by an internal speed or an external clock.

• Fractal: a unique algorithm sprinkled with 5% chaos, creating evolving and surprising patterns.

• Euclid: generates four different Euclidean patterns for complex and evolving rhythms."

Skippy Exp: an expander for Skippy

video upload by Kaona modular music

"Skippy Exp is a tiny module in 2HP that adds "Play/Stop" and "Reset" functions to Skippy, either via a button or a CV input."

"Skippy Exp is a very small module that in 2HP adds to Skippy the 'Play/Stop' function and the 'Reset' function, either with a button or with a CV input. It cannot work independently and you absolutely need Skippy to use it.

For those who do not need the live settings that Skippy Live allows (or who no longer have space!), Skippy EXP nevertheless allows you to add two essential functions for a dynamic game.

This module cannot work in parallel with Skippy Live which already has these two functions. It can be placed on the right or on the left. The connector to connect it to Skippy is provided. This module does not need to be connected to the power supply."

Transpos Eurorack

"Transpos is both a transposer and a three channel voltage adder or subtractor for Eurorack modular music"

Skippy is a matrix and non-matrix polyrhythmic sequencer (linear and logarithmic) which offers four completely independent tracks with a very simple interface: one button per track, one function per screen, no sub-menus.
