I purchased this about two months ago for my eurorack system. This module is fantastic - especially for generative patches, and its randomness works with its biofeedback sensor. Connect this to a plant and watch the plant make music. You can use other things (other than plants) too like other signals - noise, LFO's, S&H, etc.
My initial plan with my eurorack build was to create generative patches. However, after my system was complete, I decided to use my system for creating sample packs and sound libraries.
This module is in as-close-to-perfect condition as I barely used it, and I used Befaco Knurlies with washers to preserve its pristine condition. This module comes with the original box, power cable, and extra clips ordered off of Amazon.

Description The SCÍON is a biofeedback sensor built into a quad random voltage generator. This design is based on the MidiSprout by Datagarden ()
It translates biofeedback data, sourced from contact with organic surfaces, into musically useful control signals. Tiny fluctuations in surface conductance on organic materials stimulate control voltage and gate signal changes that can be used to modulate and permutate your patch. Dynamic control over biofeedback sensitivity allows you to quickly adapt any input source to a useful range of responsiveness.
Apply the sensor pads to your house plants, your own skin. When no sensor cables are used simply touching the capacitive Leaf electrode with your finger will create random voltages derived from life itself.
SCÍON offers the ability to make music with all living things.
