Gravity by Sitka Instruments – An affordable six channel sync and sequence utility that offers rhythmic complexity through simplicity in just 6hp.
Straight out of Ukraine — Sitka Instruments is a new eurorack endeavor by the artist that goes under the same name. The first module on offer is a versatile 6-channel clock generator and trigger sequencer. Gravity offers three operating modes: clock division/multiplication, random pulse generation, and a 16-step trigger sequencer. Impressive that it all fits in 6hp! You can easily set the master tempo using the internal 24ppqn clock or synchronize it with an external clock input.
In clock mode, each of the six outputs can independently divide or multiply the master clock, allowing for diverse rhythmic patterns. Random mode introduces variability by occasionally skipping pulses based on a set probability, and is great for creating complex, ever evolving rhythms. The sequencer mode provides two banks of 8 patterns each, letting you create intricate beat structures either by programming or tap recording.
Gravity includes two CV inputs that let you modulate parameters like master BPM, subdivision, random skip chance, or sequencer pattern switching. This adds a layer of dynamic control to your patches. The module also features rear contacts for daisy-chaining with other Gravity modules or connecting Sitka’s own MIDI expander. Handy if you would like to sync your other MIDI equipped Instruments.
Gravity's simple interface, characterized by a large screen and easy-to-use controls, ensures that you can quickly dial in your settings. The LEDs on each output provide a visual representation of the time divisions, eliminating all guesswork about what outputs what.
Compared to similar modules like the Make Noise Tempi or ALM Busy Circuits Pamela's Workout, Gravity stands out for its affordability and how straightforward it is to use. While Pamela's Workout might offer a broader range of features, Gravity provides the essential functionalities at a fraction of the cost and without the need for extensive menu diving.
Gravity is a nice first entry by Sitka Instruments. It offers an accessible yet powerful utility for anyone on lookout to create complex rhythms or to get a firm hold of your clock signals. Its combination of features, ease of use, and future expandability make it hard not to recommend — a clear thumbs up from us :)
Features:
- 24ppqn internal clock for master BPM
- 6 output channels
- 3 channel modes:
- Clock Outputs steady pulses in a set period (from /128 to x24 of master BPM).
- Random also outputs regular pulses but skips some based on a specified probability.
- Sequencer 16-step trigger sequencer with 2x 8-pattern memory banks. You can program your sequences or record them by tapping the button.
- 2 Bipolar CV inputs (5v) for external modulation. You can modulate master BPM, subdivision, random skip chance, or switch sequencer patterns via CV
- External clock input for 16th note pulses or 24ppqn
- Rear contacts for MIDI expander and for linking multiple Gravity modules together.
- Future firmware updates for more features
