Rain City Modular has officially released the SCS-X Advanced Clock Parser at Knobcon 2026.
The SCS-X is a dual multiplier/divider module in 3U/6HP. Each section can multiply and divide a clock source up to 64x. Clock sources include internal clock, Rain Sync bus clock, external clock, or the output of the other section. When set to “Musical” mode, the output can range in musical divisions from 32nd notes up to 2 bars in length.
Advanced patterns can be created by setting a frame length from 1-32 steps, and number of active pulses per frame. You can manipulate the active pulses through various parameters, including the amount the pulses spread across the frame, and the rotation of the pattern relative to the start of the frame. When spread is set to maximum, the SCS-X acts as a Euclidean sequencer. Set the patterns in motion with a randomness function that varies from frame to frame.
This completes the base functionality of the Sequencer Construction Set, providing a fully self-contained system for melody and rhythm creation.
SCS-X will start shipping in October 2026 and have a list price of $229.
Additionally, the SCS-KIT2 starter kit will be available which includes 1xSCS-X, 2xSCS-V, 1xSCS-S and 1xSCS-T for $699.
