SEPIA by Karno SEPIA is a modular audio system that integrates authentic analog circuitry (built by the original hardware manufacturers) within a digitally controlled platform. Each module delivers the same analog signal path as its full-size counterpart, hosted in Karno’s SEPIA hosts and operated via the SEPIA Control app for infinite routing and parameter configurations, instant recall, and automation. Analog: No Emulation, No Compromise SEPIA is an analog system: meaning it uses the same transformers, valves, optical units and fets as their larger rack mount counterparts. SEPIA has been designed to allow audio manufacturers to offer their original designs, in a smaller, modern form factor with full digital control. Digitally Controlled: Anywhere by Anything SEPIA is fully digitally controlled. With all major control protocols accepted, including HUI, EUCON, MIDI and OSC, SEPIA can be elegantly controlled by a wide range of devices, from phone to DAW, to console. Compact: 60% Smaller than the 500 Series SEPIA’s robust, compact form factor allows you to take your sound anywhere. By using SEPIA’s technology, what was previously a rackmount unit, can now comfortably fit in the palm of your hand. SEPIA Modules A SEPIA Module could be anything: from microphone preamps, equalisers, dynamics processors, effects, vacuum tube designs, DSP and more. Brought to you by your favourite brands, SEPIA modules house original components and designs, giving you authentic sound in a modular, compact and durable form factor. SEPIA L6 Host The L6 is the first of many SEPIA hosts, a 1U rack mounted unit aimed and built for professionals. It houses 6 modules and has an external I/O of 8/8 with both digital and analog IO options. Software Providing the ultimate freedom of control, SEPIA’s control software is supported everywhere; from Laptop, iOS and Android through to DAW Plug-in and Direct Console Control. Users no longer need to be physically in front of analog hardware to enjoy the benefits. With digital control comes all the perks of software with a myriad of user-oriented features. Simply load a show-file and have your exact same set up, again and again and again.
