All Midi, All Analog, All Real-time, All Performance Step Sequencer

• 24 Banks
• of 8 Sequences
• of 8 Steps
• of 7 Parameters
• And Multiple Virtual Sequences
• Per-Step Note, Pitch, Velocity, Controller Value
• Per-Step Duration and Note Duration
• Per-Step Slew Rate
• A Full-Featured Three Channel Polyphonic MIDI to CV Converter

Real-time Interface
Real-time Flexibility

• Continuous turn "encoder" knobs and LCD display for instantaneous access to any parameter
• Displays step parameters using bar graphics, octaves, en-harmonics, or numbers
• Perform from the sequencer using its panel keys to trigger sequences or...
• Perform the sequencer remotely using MIDI

Sequence Step Matrix
Moves beyond a simple MIDI Tracker

• Real-time sequence step modes:
note, scale, detune, velocity, controller, step duration, note duration, slew rate
• Force step note to one of 50 musical scales
• Step notes are tuneable to 3.125 cents 'un-quantized' resolution
• Sequences output selected MIDI controller numbers 1 to 95
• Per-step slew rate for MIDI pitch-bend slew or portamento output
• Sequence Loop and Link for long patterns up to 1536 steps
and multiple instances thereof
• Sequencer cross-modulation:
A sequence may modulate another sequence's pitch, velocity, controller and event times Modulation routes by channel allow additive, global and recursive sequence modulation
• Random step advance and pendulum modes
• Per-bank and global BPM tempos
• 32 channel MIDI output
• Control Voltage modulation input for sequence transposition, velocity or step time

Variable Event Times and Durations
Moves beyond the traditional Analog Sequencer

• Internal sequencer resolution is 96ppq
• Per-step step and note durations:
Note off and step skip to 64th to dotted whole note durations
• Ability to create polyphonic sequences with any combination of chord and single note
• Sync triggers to beat or free-time, independent to each sequence
• Bar Sync syncs sequence loop to bar length, independent to each sequence
• Poly-rhythms are easily generated with Bar Sync
• Step fractional time-shift modulation via sequence modulator or CV input
• Programable external clock sources and timing resolution

Dynamic Sequence Triggering
Makes this the Performance Sequencer

• Concurrent triggering of each bank group of 8 sequences,
with multiple virtual sequence iterations
• Additive or global sequence modulation
• Recursive sequence modulation
• Sequencer trigger sources:
Sequences are panel key assignable and MIDI channel or note assignable. Sequence iterations track MIDI trigger note, velocity, note duration, and note instances
• Triggers sync to beat or free-time; create MIDI echo
• Sequencer trigger modes:

Multiple                 sequences follow all trigger instances
Single                   sequence follows monophonic trigger
Duration Follow    sequence note duration follows trigger duration
Loop Hold            sequence loops while trigger is held
Run/Stop              trigger play; trigger stop
Seq Reset             trigger play; trigger reset sequence
Release                 trigger sequence_n; sequence_n+1 on trigger release
Step Play              trigger plays the next successive step
Step Record         trigger sets step value
Step Randomize   trigger sets random step values
