XAOC Devices Skopje Eurorack Dual Quantiser Module

We say...

Great little quantiser here from Xaoc, with a surprising number of clever features given its compact form factor! The auto-calibration in particular is perfectly implemented and super-useful.

Manufacturer's description

Skopje is a compact (6HP) dual quantizer with two independent channels. Thanks to clever features coupled with high-precision A/D and D/A converters it can be a complex (though extremely easy to use) compositional tool suitable for all kinds of musical outcomes.

The user interface is similar to Zadar with frontpanel labels clearly indicating the features available for adjustment. No menu diving as the small OLED display is only used for selecting banks and scales.

Each channel is able to quantize its input to a different scale from a different bank (up to 100 banks each containing up to a 100 scales). Skopje stores its data on a regular microSD card.

The module supports its own very simple scale format (a straghtforward TXT file), as well as the popular SCALA format. You can mix and match different scale format files in one bank.

Various tuning systems and description formats supported, including many microtonal options. The Xaoc Devices scale programming system includes additional features, e.g., various voltage limiting settings.

Another notable feature is Skopje's ability to calibrate any of its channels to a particular VCO for perfect tracking. Other features include: glide, scale switching via triggers or CV, and transposition (including unquantized for vibrato).
