Eight Channel CV Generator/Sequencer/Midi CV Interface

Features

Hardware

• 8 CV outputs – 0–10 V

• 8 Gate outputs – 0 or 5 V

• 17 endless rotary encoders for maximum control and playability

• Clock & Start In with variable PPQN

• Clock & Start Out with variable PPQN

• TRS MIDI input – synchronisation and/or MIDI to CV

• TRS MIDI output – for transport and clock output

  • TRS MIDI input and output can be individually switched between type A and B via jumpers on the rear panel.

• USB MIDI to host interface for synchronisation and/or MIDI to CV interface

• CV input – accepts -5 V to 5 V

• 26 HP

• 25 mm depth

Software

• 8 tracks, each with CV and gate pair

• Parameters per track:

  • Swing

  • Clock divider (1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 1, 4/3, 3/2, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8)

  • Scale quantisation, root note and scale (various 12 TET scales and others)

  • Play mode (normal, reverse, random, ping pong)

  • Number of steps from 1-64

  • Kick/step shift

  • Transpose in semitone steps.

• For each step:

  • Quantisable CV, can be displayed as note, cent, volt or hertz

  • Gate length from 0 to 64

  • Microtiming

  • Probability

  • Glide (stepped or continuous)

  • Retrigger

  • Additional CV modulation with

    • a decay envelope or

    • a synchronised LFO – triangle, square or ramp, adjustable rate

    • or VCA envelope, optimised for percussive use, hold time, decay time and change

• The degree of modulation is variable

  Microtiming

• Pattern generation with Euclidean sequences

• MIDI-to-CV interface

  • Each track can be a MIDI-to-CV interface.

  • Choose between TRS or USB MIDI input

  • Change the polyphony from 1 to 8 voices

  • The next CV output can be used for velocity.

  • Quantisation for scaling

  • Additional glide

• Copy and paste steps, tracks and patterns for faster editing

• Internal memory for 16 patterns

  • A pattern has 8 tracks

  • Switch between patterns without overwriting or having to save existing patterns.

• Song mode

  • Patterns can be arranged and parameters adjusted while the song is playing.

  • Adjust pattern length and tempo per pattern

  • Save up to 16 songs

• Flash memory

  • Up to 256 patterns, organised into 16 banks with 16 patterns each

  • All settings are saved automatically.

• Extensive synchronisation options with other equipment

  • Tested with many different other devices to ensure synchronisation with other devices.

• Light and dark mode

• CV In

  • Parameters can be changed via the CV input, affected tracks can be selected.

    • Transpose

    • Retrigger

  • Change the tempo

  • Switch between any of the 16 internal patterns

  • Attenuate and invert the CV input

• Play live and adjust your sequence.

  • Mute tracks

  • Modulation can be disabled per step by pressing a knob.

  • Keyboard shortcuts for quick switching between tracks and parameters

  • Keyboard shortcut for changing parameters for all tracks, e.g. transpose

• Additional window for displaying the current status of all inputs and outputs

• The firmware is updatable.

  v1.2 New features

• MIDI to CV Interface • Root and Scale parameters are now only accessible in the para window

• Voice allocation is now changeable

• Sustain pedal MIDI messages are now processed

• Legato parameter added

• Voice stealing for more than one voice always uses the oldest one

• New track type: MIDI Recording

• New setting for a CV offset for the MIDI to CV conversion

• In the CV/Gate track window: when pushing one of the knobs 1-16 and the selected parameter is not cv or gate the step is now activated when the step was not. In the older firmware only the selected parameter could be turned on/off but not the step itself.

• 3 new scales: harmonic minor, minor blues and major blues.

• Pressing the utility button closes all edit windows

• When editing a step pushing the knob again copies the steps value to all active steps

  v1.1 New features

• More PPQN values for Clock In and Out: 6, 8, 16

• New setting: Start input can be used to reset the sequence

• Smoothing of the incoming clocks can be changed between: minimal, moderate and a lot.

• The default value for Midi clocks is a lot

• For analog clock it is minimal

• The transpose parameter also effects Midi tracks 22 / 23

• Visual indication added when changing patterns
