XAOC Devices Samarkanda
Quadruple resampling delay performance station with looping, BBD/granular modes, and link routing.
42 HP Eurorack module
Samarkanda is Xaoc Devices' performance-oriented quad delay station. Each of its four identical channels is a 0.5 ms – 15 s resampling delay that can run continuously, synced to an external clock, or tap-tempo'd. Channels can be cleanly stacked, linked into masters/slaves, or cross-patched for ping-pong, FDN reverbs, granular textures, and tuned resonators. Each channel switches per-buffer between Analog (BBD/tape-like, pitches with time changes) and Digital (granular crossfade, no pitch shift) behaviours, with Reverse, Hold, and 1V/oct CV control of delay time.
Features
- Quadruple resampling delay with up to 60 seconds when stacked
- Per-channel range from 0.5 ms (resonator) to 15 s (looper)
- Lossless internal cascading via digital Mix-to-Input normalling
- Analog (BBD/tape) vs Digital (granular) sweep behaviours per channel
- 1 V/oct calibrated CV control of delay time
- Continuous, external-clock synced, and tap-tempo time modes
- 1:8 to 8:1 clock division/multiplication when synced
- Per-channel Reverse and Hold/freeze with gate inputs
- External feedback loop per channel via FB Input + Wet Out
- Bipolar CV inputs for FBCK and Mix
- Eight channel-link configurations (independent, pairs, larger groups)
- Master-relative bipolar Time/FBCK/Mix on linked channels
