from oldschool tape
through slice to granular

Spotykach transforms loops into a playable instrument designed for live exploration. Switch between tape-style looping, rhythmic slicing and granular drift — all while seeing your sound move across illuminated LED rings.

reel mode

Tape-style looping
Inspired by early tape experiments and musique concrète. Record a loop and manipulate its speed just like a tape machine. Slow it down, speed it up or reverse it — pitch and timing shift naturally as the loop moves.

At extremely short slice lengths the loop becomes a pure waveform, turning the deck into a playable oscillator.

slice mode

Rhythmic and precise
Slice mode turns your loop into a playable rhythmic structure. Clock-driven slicing lets you rearrange audio fragments, shift pitch without changing tempo and create new rhythms using the built-in sequencer.

Perfect for glitchy beats, rhythmic textures and evolving patterns.

drift mode

Granular exploration
Drift mode breaks your loop into tiny grains and scatters them into evolving textures. Stretch sounds into shimmering clouds, subtle ambiences or chaotic glitch landscapes.

Perfect for atmospheres, generative textures and thick complex clouds.

no menu diving

No screen by design. The LED rings visualize your loop position, slices and modulation in real time, so you always know where you are inside the sound.

a playground for sound design

Spotykach is a dual-deck looping instrument built for musicians who like to experiment. Each deck can capture audio and transform it in different ways — from tape-style speed manipulation to rhythmic slicing and evolving granular textures.

Instead of treating loops as static recordings, Spotykach turns them into material you can play, reshape and discover new sounds within.

Two independent decks let you sample in stereo, resample from one deck into another, layer and overdub textures and rhythms, modulate and transform sound in realtime

time travel loops

Spotykach features three playback modes — each inspired by a different approach to sampling and sound manipulation. Switch instantly between them and explore how the same loop transforms across techniques.

designed for live performace

See the structure of your sound. Spotykach was designed to make looping intuitive during performance. The LED rings visualize your loop position, slices and modulation in real time, so you always know where you are inside the sound. Record, reverse, slice, modulate and resample without diving through menus.
