MOTM

Interesting device that seems to offer a lot to the modular user.  I'm 
certainly looking forward to the MOTM sequencer, but the Mobius might be good 
as a simple step sequencer.

Where's all the dang knobs!???!!?!!?

I got tired of looking for a sequencer system that met my needs, much 
less getting it in the MOTM format. So I've designed my own system, 
which I'm now building. Info is temporarily at:

Another interesting looking sequencer is the SQ2000 from Analogue Solutions. Can
apparently play the 16 steps in any order.

I have pasted in a description of it from their web site. This isn't out yet
either.

Introduction

            The SQ2000 is a fully fledged professional analogue sequencer
providing Plenty of control
            output/inputs and with some uniquely creative features never before
seen.

            Overview

            The SQ2000 is (I beleive) the only new 16 step, multi-channel true
analogue sequencer on the
            market today. Below are a list of main features:

            \ufffd 3 separate Control Voltage channels. Each has a range switch
providing approx. 2.5V, 5V and
            10V CV ranges.

            \ufffd 5 separate Gate channels. 3 of the gate channel switches are built
into the CV pots. The
            remaining 2 are on a separate row of toggle switches. The switches
are 3 position providing the 2
            Gate outputs, with centre being off.

            \ufffd Gate channel C is in `Legato mode'. More on this later.

            \ufffd Clear step LEDs. The 16 step LEDs are colour coded so locating
whole note steps is easy.

            \ufffd 8 channel MIDI to Trigger/Gate converter (with an additional 3
spare channels available
            internally for those who wish to do modifications.

            \ufffd MIDI Sync cabability, but using a MIDI note instead of MIDI clock.
This method has major,
            important advantages, covered later.

            \ufffd MIDI/CV control of the multiplexer (the multiplexer, or Mux,
controls which step the sequencer
            is on), using MIDI notes or external control voltages. This is a
major new and unique facility that
            allows any step to be accessed in any order for total control. Please
read full details about this
            important creative tool later in the manual. When using this feature,
it is possible to activate
            `legato mode' for all gate channels.

            \ufffd Ability to lock onto your MIDI sequencer to the nearest 16th note,
whether stopping, starting, or
            jumping to another bar in your MIDI sequencer. Will lock on perfectly
regardless.

            \ufffd Reset to 16. Just about all other analogue sequencer have an
inherant error, in that after
            reseting the machine (to step 1), when restarting the sequencer, it
actually starts on step 2! With
            our Reset to 16, this problem is overcome.

            For more details on all features of the SQ2000, please read the whole
manual - don't miss any of
            it's cool features!

I wouldn't ask you to build them, but I would sure be 
interested in buying boards and panels for this design.

This does look interesting, but I'll wait for the MOTM in that sequencer 
arena.  I was pointing out the Mobius mostly because it is a simple step 
sequencer and it is fairly inexpensive.

The CV Address Generator module in my system makes all kinds of stage 
selections easy: rising saw in = forward play, falling saw in = 
backward play, triangle in = forward then backward play, S&H in = 
random select, envelope follower in = select based on the sound's 
envelope, etc. It's really just a simple 4 bit analog to digital 
converter. This flexibility was another argument for separating the 
pot matrix from the addressing scheme, since many sequencers only 
allow clock inputs for addressing.
