Behringer SKIES Release - Granular Audio Processor for Eurorack

Behringer released Skies - a device based on the Clouds granular processor from the manufacturer Mutable Instruments.

The new product is claimed to be a Real-Time processor capable of affecting parameters such as Position, Size, Pitch, Density and Texture. The module allows you to modulate various effects, including dense reverb and glitch rhythms, using controls and CV connectors.

In turn, four sample rate modes are provided: 32kHz/16-bit stereo (1s buffer); 32kHz/16-bit mono (2s buffer); 16kHz/8-bit stereo (4s buffer); 16kHz/8-bit mono (8s buffer). Also, the processor has a stereo input and stereo output. It is noted that the mono modes on the output will be in stereo. In addition, there is a USB-C port (for firmware updates).

The Behringer Skies will be available for purchase for around $100. More information about the device can be found on Behringer's official website.

Behringer SKIES Features:

• Textures and soundscapes created by combining multiple overlapping, delayed, transposed and enveloped segments of sound taken from audio recording buffer
• Based on Mutable Instruments Clouds
• Selectable resolution from 8-bit/16 kHz to 16-Bit/32 kHz
• SKIES differs from other granular Eurorack modules in that it focuses on the real time processing of audio sources from your modular system itself, rather than playback of pre-recorded samples from a storage device
• Stereo or Mono recording operation
• 18 HP Eurorack format module that requires standard -12 V/+12 V power supply
• USB interface on front panel to upgrade your module easily
