Sequentix P3 Midi Sequencer

via this auction
From the manual:
"The P3 Sequencer is a modern take on the analogue sequencer, but it takes the concept much further P3 is a pattern-based, 8 track hardware MIDI sequencer. Its user interface and primary method of pattern entry are based directly on the classic analogue sequencers. But it adds full storage and recall of patterns, can simultaneously drive multiple MIDI synths or samplers each playing different patterns, allows chaining of patterns to make longer musical phrases than the basic 16 steps, and also features sophisticated pattern modulation options.

In addition, it allows real-time capture of note input from a MIDI keyboard, so you can use P3 like a more typical hardware MIDI sequencer if you want.

P3 allows real-time control of track mutes and simple pattern and pattern chain selection across multiple tracks, plus analogue style editing of patterns with separate note, velocity, tie, gate, length, gate delay, and a combination of up to four MIDI controllers, extra notes, or programmatic functions, per step.

The unique programmatic functions, called auxiliary events, allow the simple creation of patterns that can dynamically grab values from the patterns on other tracks, randomize step values, alter pattern and global settings, and more - including modulation accumulators that can be configured as LFOs, perform arpeggiation effects or enable complex self-modifying patterns.

A non-destructive Force-to-Scale function provides preset and user-defined scales to keep everything in key (but defeat-able per pattern step if required), and a special pattern sync option allows patterns with different lengths and/or timebases to free-run, or be synced to a global bar.

Building on ideas from various vintage and modern analogue sequencers and drum machines, P3 has been designed to provide a direct and intuitive method for creating pattern-based electronic music. That's not to say it will automatically do it all for you - there is a learning curve involved. To get the best from P3 you will need to familiarise yourself with the various modes of operation, pattern and playlist values, track and configuration settings."

Click each pic to view in isolation. I went with two contrasting images on purpose. The atmosphere of the game appears to be pretty diverse. The first pic reminds me of an immersive landscape and the bottom reminds me of a sequencer.

One Week Left for Dr. Bob’s Soundschool IndieGoGo Fundaiser

"Dr. Bob’s Soundschool IndieGoGo Fundaiser Builds STEM and STEAM by Teaching the Science of Sound through the Magic of Music

February 24, 2012

Asheville, NC – Budget cuts are causing the elimination of art and music programs across the country. Michelle Moog-Koussa, a parent and also the daughter of Bob Moog, the godfather of electronic music, is passionate about helping schools retain these programs. As the Executive Director of The Bob Moog Foundation, she’s accomplishing this through Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, an interactive educational program that teaches the science of sound through the magic of music. The Foundation is using IndieGoGo.com to help raise $50,000, which will help the organization expand its groundbreaking pilot program to students across the country.

The pilot program of Dr Bob’s SoundSchool is currently being conducted in the Asheville City School system in North Carolina and has also been initiated with excited students in Jamaica.

The Bob Moog Foundation needs to reach its $50,000 goal before the drive ends on March 1 at 11:59 p.m. The Foundation will receive the funds it generates.

“Schools across the country are focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM)-based education and rightly so,” Moog-Koussa says. “Not only does Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool bring STEM-based learning to life, we’re also building STEAM, which adds “Art” to the equation, demonstrating just how easily science and music align. The arts component is critical to help our children become more creative in whatever endeavor they ultimately choose.”

“The www.IndieGoGo.com campaign features footage of students experiencing Bob Moog’s revolutionary equipment and the SoundSchool’s innovative curriculum,” she adds.

Fans will appreciate the fact that there are incentives at each level of giving, such as opportunities to win a Moog Voyager Select Series Synthesizer signed by Moog-inspired artists including Brian Eno, Moby, Wayne Coyne, Edgar Froese, Passion Pit, Chromeo, Ghostland Obervatory and many other bands who performed at Moogfest 2011. Donors can also win a VIP weekend for two to Moogfest 2012 featuring a stay at the breathtaking Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa in Asheville, NC and a pair of VIP tickets to Moogfest 2012.

The Bob Moog Foundation was established because of an outpouring of letters and emails from across the globe following Bob Moog’s death. Its goal is to “ignite the innovator in us all” through interactive educational experiences that draw from his legacy of groundbreaking work at the intersection of music, science and the imagination."

Banshee Tuba Ostinato

"Improv w/ Buchla 200e & Serge modular systems.

Growling "Tuba-like" repeating phrase - along w/ a heavily Serge Frequency Shifted DUSG "Banshee-like" voice.

The main mix of all 4x LPG's are fed into the 285e Balanced Modulator section for even more grumbling.

Thanks to the Eardrill 077 Pendulum Ratchet for nice pulse divisions . . . and the 266e SOU helps take the edge off the clock."
