"Upcoming Meta Sequencer - a compact CV sequencer - from Microbe Modular."
"I'm extremely pleased to announce the upcoming release of the Meta Sequencer by Microbe Modular. The Meta Sequencer is a compact CV sequencer. Step editing is intuitive and requires no menus. Advanced settings are managed using a 'flat' menu system.
Basic features:
Easy sequence editing using two rotary encoders with two corresponding numeric displays. The top encoder selects the sequence step. The bottom encoder selects the value.
Clock input and manual push-button
Reset input and manual push-button.
12 bit CV output
Three way switch to select between Playback Mode / Edit Mode / Settings Mode.
All sequence and settings information is immediately stored in non-volatile ram (technically, FRAM). You don't have to worry about saving or loading..
Advanced features include:
Selectable sequence length from 1 to 64 steps. (This might be increased to 128 steps.)
Built in clock divider, from 1 to 512.
Output quantization (optional) - 16 different musical scales available.
Sequence Randomize / Clear functions
Even more advanced features:
"Drift" settings (percentage and amount) - allows the sequence values to drift from their original values. The drift amounts do not affect the underlying sequence and are reset when the sequence is reset. Great for slowly evolving CV output.
"Slip" setting (percentage) - Sets the sequencer "slippage", which is a percentage chance of the playback sequencer NOT stepping when it normally would.
"Hold" setting (optional) - Applies a Sample & Hold to the sequence output based on a gate pattern derived from the hold setting (0-255). I'll explain this in greater detail later, but it's pretty cool.
All advanced settings can be active simultaneously.
Technical Specifications
Width: 6HP
Runs off either the +/-12V supply only, or a combination of +/-12V and 5V supplies, selectable via a jumper in the rear. Unlike the Equation Composer, no +5 volt supply is required.
Typical current requirements: 80mA.
Price and availability:
Unknown. We're building this module to be as affordable as possible. It'll probably be ready around March 2015.
Front panel design still pending "
