Unleash new dimensions of sound with the Behringer SKIES granular synthesis module for Eurorack. Whether you're sculpting dense, evolving textures or crafting glitchy, fragmented rhythms, SKIES is your gateway to sonic exploration. With its intuitive controls and powerful processing capabilities, SKIES invites you to break free from traditional synthesis and dive headfirst into a world of shimmering ambience and chaotic soundscapes.
What is Granular Synthesis?
Granular synthesis takes audio and chops it into tiny bits called “grains,” which are then rearranged, layered, and manipulated in pitch, size, and density. These grains can be stretched across time, reversed, or smeared into lush atmospheres. The result is evolving textures, glitched-out rhythms, and ethereal soundscapes that can transform even the simplest sound source into something extraordinary. With SKIES, you can push this technique to its creative limits.
Features That Inspire
SKIES gives you hands-on control over core parameters such as Position, Size, Pitch, Density, and Texture, allowing precise shaping of every grain. The Blend control provides access to stereo spread, feedback, and Reverb, enabling anything from subtle stereo shimmer to cavernous soundscapes. The Freeze function captures a sonic moment in time, ideal for creating loops, drones, or ambient pads on the fly. With extensive CV input options, SKIES excels in modular environments where dynamic modulation drives deeper sonic exploration.
Unlock New Creative Horizons
From haunting ambient layers to broken digital glitches, SKIES encourages experimentation at every turn. Create deep, evolving soundscapes for cinematic compositions or inject chaotic bursts of texture into rhythm tracks. Whether enhancing melodies with delicate sparkles or transforming field recordings into immersive sonic worlds, SKIES offers endless creative possibilities for musicians and sound designers.
