"Prima volta al #soundmit per #Magerit giovane brand dalla Spagna, David ci ha portato una ventata di freschezza con il suo sequencer a schermo tondo (#kairos) e i suoi moduli in formato #eurorack tra cui spicca il modulo drum #metro."

Magerit KAIROS - The master controller - New Release

video upload by Magerit

Not to be confused with the Arcaico Kairos.

"The purpose of KAIROS is to control and direct your Eurorack using waveforms, functions, clock signals, and MIDI-to-CV converters. Do you need a sequence of trigger signals for your drums? Done. How about automating a VCF? Of course. What if you want to do polyphony? It is also possible! Well, but it is necessary... We've got you covered; it's also possible with KAIROS. And since there are 8 independent outputs with 12-bit resolution, there is more control for your Eurorack!"

KAIROS, Greek god of the opportune moment, is a concept that represents a moment when circumstances are suitable for making important decisions or achieving a specific goal. In life, if we choose correctly at the right moment, we can have a positive impact and achieve our goals more effectively. Applying this idea, we present a master controller for Eurorack that allows you to adjust and control all the other modules at the right time to create a unique and coherent sound experience, giving way to creativity and experimentation: KAIROS.

Control your music

The purpose of KAIROS is to control and direct your Eurorack using waveforms, functions, clock signals, and MIDI-to-CV converters. Do you need a sequence of trigger signals for your drums? Done. How about automating a VCF? Of course. What if you want to do polyphony? It is also possible! Well, but it is necessary... We've got you covered; it's also possible with KAIROS. And since there are 8 independent outputs with 12-bit resolution, there is more control for your Eurorack!
Shapes and more shapes

Shapes and more shapes

We have designed several algorithms that allow us to generate almost any wave in a very simple way. Starting from basic shapes such as pulses, sines, triangles, clocks, Bézier curves... we can transform them by applying various modifiers: tilt, phase, delay, smoothing, quantization, offset, and many more. We have even included a crossover mode with various types of mixes.

Time to sequence!

All waves are played rhythmically. KAIROS includes an innovative hybrid step-euclidean sequencer. The best of both sequencers in one, allowing you to do really crazy things. What if we give it one more twist? In each step of the sequence you can even introduce 2, 3 or 4 microsteps, as if they were eighth notes, eighth triplet notes and sixteenth notes. Now we can make really interesting patterns. Ratios, directions... and those are not all the functions it has.

A powerful UI

What stands out the most about this module is its generous circular full-color screen with a resolution of 240x240 pixels. The module interface has been carefully developed to take advantage of the circular design of the display. In this way, the aesthetics are much more pleasant, intuitive and with everything you need at a glance. Forget about having a hundred submenus with a thousand hidden parameters.

A bit more

KAIROS is easily controlled using the two encoders and buttons, but it is also possible to add small automations to the sequencer thanks to its CV input. Designed in Alcorcón, Madrid, by David Vijuesca and José Vijuesca.

"Kairos is analogue hybrid that reproduces the classic vintage BBD/Echo tape delay with VCA integrated, delay tone control and a dedicated wet out. The delay time range goes from 0.05ms to 1.1sec.

Technical specifications:

VCA (with attenuator)
CV time control (with attenuator)
TONE control delay
WET dedicated out
LOOP function
FEEDBACK control

10 HP
50mm deep"

"Reverb in eurorack format inspired by the infamous Reverberation Machine, built in THT technology with passive welded 'point-to-point' components, characterized by a VCA input and a post reverb distortion.

The input section is controlled by an integrated VCA. The TONE switch darkens or lightens the signal. The Decay, controlled in CV, through LDR resistor allows to create a large reverb: increasing the Decay to maximum level the feedback extends to infinity. The GAIN control allows to saturate the post-reverb signal. The RAVE button short-circuits the IN and OUT of the module, so as to obtain an infinite and self-regenerative feedback, creating auto-oscillation of the effect."

Layers Pt. V: Kairos (Ft. DSI Prophet 08, DSI Tempest, Moog Lil Phatty)

Ace: Prophet 08, Tempest, Lil Phatty
Kyle: Guitars
Jeffrey: Vocals and Bells

This is the fifth and final video in a five part series titled layers. Everything in this series was created using layers, thus the title. This song started with the Prophet 08 patch, which was Ace's first deep venture into the prophets sequencing abilities. Then He added the drums and bass. Then Kyle got the track, while he was still in IL, and added the guitar parts. Ace then mixed it a bit, sent it to Jeff, who added 8 different parts, using glockenspiel in very unique ways as well as adding his amazing and unique vocals. It has more layers than any track in the past, and it fits the stories conclusion. I hope you enjoy!

V: Kairos

My feet began to move with purpose and direction. I knew where my travels were leading me. My plans stood before me, showing me all that the world had to offer. With my heart leading the way, my mind was able to once again take in this perfect moment, now fulfilled by purpose, context, and cause. The world was painting its extravagant artwork all around me. But, this time I was not an observer, trying with futility to drink it in. I was a part of it. Every stroke of light bounced off me, casting shadows against the rocks as I moved upward. My feet left soft wet footprints as I climbed. I was not an idle consumer of the worlds majesty, I was intrinsically bound to it, participating in it, and engaged by it.

As I reached the top, the wind blew wildly around me, kicking up leaves and dust in chaotic, swirling patterns. I danced through the chaos, adding my notes to the cacophony. The dust whipped against my clothes, the sun beat against my skin. Down below waves crashed and slowly weathered away at the rocks. It was a perfect, deliberate moment, made of chaos and complexity. There was rhythm, hidden in the noise, all I had to do was find it.
All I needed was this crucial experience of breaking and mending. The beach found me lost. The cliffs broke me down. The cavern healed my wounds. The morning gave me purpose. I had found the patterns in the static and now nothing could stop me."

"Steve Roach performed last night [9/23]in Tucson, Arizona. Steve played material from his recent release "Proof Positive" on guitar, synth and several sizes of didgeridoo while visuals from from his DVD 'Kairos' as well as images from other artists were shown. Here's my best photo from the show. Here's a link to Steve's web page on the concert."
