MFOS Sequencer Videos - MOTM Format

MFOS Sequencer Videos - MOTM Format

2007-09-09 by thomas white

Hi all,

I have completed my Ray Wilson design of his Music
From Outer Space 16-step analog sequencer. There is
more information about the concept up on
www.naturalrhythmmusic.com/sequencer.html which will
be updated with completed images soon to replace the
under construction ones there now. I am excited with
the result of my work on this. Thanks to Ray for
making this PCB available to all. There will be 8
videos on youtube. 3 are up now and the others are
being uploaded as I write this...

My youtube ID is djthomaswhite

I am interested to know what you think about the
results of the project. I am really glad to have a
true analog sequencer in my modular. Ray's design
works very well!!! 

My format is my choice of course and MOTM works the
best for me. But this PCB can be built into Eurorack,
Synth.com, Frac, etc. The whole project was pretty
cheap to build considering the final result. The panel
was the most expensive piece. Other than forgetting
one ground wire to the pots and switching the lug on
one other wire I did not have any difficulties
building the unit. Wiring is my least favorite part so
I was grumbly for a good portion of the build at the
end when the wires were flying in my rush to get the
lights rotating. This is why I forgot the wires and I
recommend to take your time to not have these same
errors. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Thomas

PS. Here is a link to Ray's page so you can buy one
for yourself...

Amazing work! Mind-blowing. I'd love to see close-up pics of the back/ 
wiring. How much of this is your own design and how much is Ray's  
design, aside from the panel layout?

Very nice panel Thomas!  Reminds me of the Buchla 200e sequencer:  
http://www.buchla.com/200e/250e.html

That's some wiring job.  I can appreciate the effort.

Looks good. FYI, the slideshow on that page slows my system to a 
crawl. Maybe it's just something weird with my PC?

Nope - it did the same to mine too. I finally killed IE and got back to
work.

That is really nice looking and sounding! I want one! I ve just bought the boards from MFOS. Hopefully I ll have more luck with it than I did with the milton. 

MFOS Sequencer Update

2007-09-10 by thomas white

Just wanted to drop an update on this recently built
unit. I have worked all of the kinks out and I am very
satisfied with what I can do with the module. I used
to have a Doepfer A-155 (?) and ended up using it as a
drum sequencer most of the time. This MFOS sequencer
can be used for so much more even though it is so
simple to operate. 

One of the "bugs" I thought I had involved the
External Clock input. I thought it was not working
when pluggin in my MOTM-320 LFO or MOTM-300 VCO to
closk the sequencer. Turns out these will not clock
the unit as they go into the negative voltage realm.
This is explained in the MFOS documentation but in my
hurry I failed to notice the importance of it. But,
never fail... this brings a benefit to me in the form
of a "bonus feature". The Sequencer is looking for a
positive-only gate/clock signal. Each positive pulse
it gets advances the sequencer one step. This allows
me to control the "Swing" of the sequence with an
external gate signal. 

For example, I take an extra MIDI channel from my
MOTM-650 midi controller to use as a "manual clock". I
record one key in triplet time into my sequencer. That
recording is looped and the gate out sent into the
External Clock jack on the sequencer. Et Voila'! 
Swing time baby! I could go in and add the diode Ray
Wilson mentions would fix this, but that would take me
back to straight away 8ths or 16ths again and I like
the option for swing if I want it. Happy accidents are
great right?

Sorry guys,

My fault there on the image loading. I put up the
whole 7 megapixel images in my rush to get them up.
The whole page will be revamped this week with better
images and full resolution video versus the youtube
conversions.

you can see a bit of the internals in the 2nd utube clip:

cleaner than i'd thot... kudos!

Love the 'in the dark' video :-)

great stuff, and thanks for sharing, featured it on my blog. :-)

Re: MFOS Sequencer Videos - MOTM Format

2007-09-10 by Charles Osthelder

Hey Thomas!

I've had mine for a couple of years now and it is a nice little unit.
 Rather than try to incorporate it in the MOTM cabinet, I just made a
box with a separate power supply.  There's a picture of it on the MFOS
website somewhere.

I would still like to set up a PC based sequencer.  In the meantime,
however, I'm just going to add a mini CV keyboard to the rig.  I can't
play keys, it would just be used to add little fills to sequences and
the like.

Chub - man well in time...
