choose your workflow

whether you're into dawless techno, sound design, live looping or a mix of them all, Spotykach is designed to be an intuitive performance-driven looper

sound design

Turn fragments into textures, rhythms and unexpected worlds.

live looping

Build full tracks layer by layer, live and in the moment. Record, loop, overdub.

dawless jamming

Lock into the groove and reshape loops on the fly. Clock sync and start jamming!
Touch 2 Expandable Synthesizer by Synthux Academy

sound design

Spotykach thrives on unpredictability. Feed it any sound and push it through slicing, modulation and granular drift to uncover textures, pulses and evolving structures. Small edits can lead to entirely new sonic landscapes — from subtle atmospheres to complex, non-linear rhythms. It’s a tool for exploration, where accidents aren’t mistakes but starting points.

dawless jamming

Sync Spotykach to your setup and drop straight into the flow. Capture loops from drum machines or synths, then slice, reverse and resequence them in real time without breaking tempo. Build evolving rhythms, introduce variation on the fly and push patterns into unexpected territory — all while staying locked to the clock. It’s hands-on, immediate and built for long-form jams that never sit still.

live looping

Record a loop, overdub it, then keep stacking. Two decks with a crossfader allow you to push the concept of live looping a step further. Construct complete compositions in real time, whether you’re working with vocals, instruments or found sound. Each layer becomes material you can reshape — reverse it, slice it, stretch it — while the performance keeps moving forward. It’s not just looping; it’s composing live, with every decision unfolding in front of your audience.

handmade ltd package

The first edition of Spotykach comes with a handcrafted package — from the print on the box to the manual and accessories bag, only 300 units were produced and shipping directly from our workshop at the heart of Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

The manual features original artwork by collage artist Tom Tebby, printed with special gold ink — turning the documentation into a collectible piece of art.

Spotykach is a community effort and designed to evolve. The firmware is open source and running on the Daisy Seed board, allowing developers and musicians to explore new ideas and extend the instrument.

Join our Discord server to learn more, find alternative settings, effects and help develop the instrument further.

The project lives on GitHub and discussions happen within the Synthux community on Discord.

If you like to build, modify or experiment you’re welcome to contribute.
