Product Overview

Manufacturer's description

Spotykach is a dual-deck performance looper for slicing, sculpting, and reimagining sound. Feed it any audio — from a synth pad to a field recording — and push it through three distinct modes: Reel (tape-style looping), Slice (rhythmic fragmentation), and Drift (granular textures). Small edits lead to entirely new sonic landscapes, from subtle atmospheres to complex, non-linear rhythms.

Inspired by reel tape (1960s), digital slicing (1990s), and modern algorithmic chaos (2000+), Spotykach is designed for hands-on live performance and studio experimentation. It celebrates the "happy accident" — the beautiful stumble that turns a loop into something unexpected.

The name: In Ukrainian culture, spotykach is a traditional home-brewed liqueur, famous for making the drinker stumble. The instrument is named for that stumble — the off-kilter, generative moment where accidents become music.

Origins: Developed over four years by Synthux community members Vlad Litvinenko and Roey Tsemah. First shown at Superbooth 2023; released as a finished instrument in 2026.

Features

Three modes per deck — one instrument, infinite workflows. Reel (tape looping with reverse and overdub), Slice (rhythmic re-sequencing), and Drift (granular pitch/time drift) give players radically different textures from a single recorded phrase.
12 touch pads shaped like spliced tape strips — immediate, tactile control. No menu-diving. Playing feels physical and intuitive.
Semi-modular and Eurorack-ready. 7 CV inputs, 2 gate I/O per deck, MIDI I/O, and analog clock sync mean Spotykach integrates into any rig — standalone desktop or the heart of a modular system. *Note that Spotykach is not a 3U module - it is designed to sit in front on a system rather than be in one.
MIDI connectivity - MIDI PRS input and output for clock and control using MIDI controllers and foot switches.
Built-in dual modulation engine. Two on-board modulation sources with various waveforms and envelope followers per deck keep loops evolving without external gear. Modulation is Eurorack level and can be used to modulate external gear!
Open-source firmware on Daisy Seed. Hackable, updatable, community-developed. A growing library of alternative firmwares exists from day one.
Complete package included. Custom travel case, patch cables, MIDI TRS converter, USB-C cable, and Micro SD Card — everything needed to play out of the box.

If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Pre-orders

If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.

If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
