via genoQs Machines

2023.10.16

"Six years after the last major OS release a new OS version for both Octopus and Nemo is here: the CE (Community Edition) OS v5.30 is now available!

It is yet another milestone moment and one in which we would like to pass all credit and our deepest gratitude to the group of CE OS creators and testers!

The new 5.30 release introduces a significant number of new features, additional workflow enhancements and a number of bug fixes:

Features and Workflow improvements (not comprehensive):
- On-The-Measure operations for Mute, Solo and Record
- New Page Cluster operations (Move, Copy / Paste & Clear)
- Track-Across-Cluster operations for Mute and Solo
- Enhanced Grid-Track Mode
- Dynamic Step Performance features
- Step Selection enhancement
- Effector enhancement
- Track Rotate of Step Skip condition
- Step Event Track Toggles
- Keyboard Transpose

Bug Fixes:
- Chord stacking using a keyboard can loose notes when inverting the root
- Effector Note Pool computations incorrect when using multiple Feeders
- Hypertrack Step VEL values inverting when offsets take their values below zero
- Using x1.5 Track Speed within a Track Chain causes timing errors
- Restarting a paused Track with a Speed multiple of >1 will Play the Track at x1 speed.
- Skipped Steps & Hypersteps not displaying properly in Step Zoom
- When sequencer is stopped, not possible to set track multiplier to 1/1.5.

The new OS is available at www.genoqs.net. For support questions regarding the installation please refer to forum.genoqs.net."

"*rare* GenoQS Octopus Sequencer. The device is being sold AS IS as 4 of the switch knobs are broken. I have '3' of the knobs, 1 is missing. Device powers on fine and it switches all seem to work (light up) although I know nothing about this device to say for sure."

"The ball bearings on the unit (the smaller buttons) are getting slightly dusty and don't roll as smoothly as they used to.
This can probably be cleaned quite easily but i don't want to open it up myself.
They are 100% functional and press down fine (rolling them is'nt tied to a function it's just for cool points)"

Endlessly deep capabilities, yet once you've read the manual it's very intuitive.

Genoqs Nemo black edition SN B013

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Brand new and very rare 30 pieces. used it less than 5 times and stay in a box in good condition in a room

Number #B013

• 64 pages (patterns).

• Four tracks per page, with 16 steps each.

• Four concurrent pages (ie. 16 concurrent tracks).

• Control over velocity, pitch, length and start points, MIDI channel and MIDI Continuous Controller data for each track.

• Individual and editable runtime directions for each track.

• Polyphonic steps of up to seven notes (*chords or multi-trigger).

• Track self-modulation, via step events.

• Cross-modulation of tracks (via the Effector).

• 32 MIDI channels via two dedicated MIDI ports.

*Each step can hold a seven‑note chord, recorded in real time or entered manually, but there are restrictions caused by the way data is displayed. Genoqs represent note values by LED colours, and just three colours are available. This translates to a three‑octave span for the notes of your chord (each octave gets its own colour) and means each note can only be used once. Still, chords are a major plus, and a strumming feature can be used to break up the chord rhythmically, in an upwards or downwards direction."

"In very clean shape, comes with manuals. This thing is capable of more than any other sequencer out there. This is the super rare Vampire Edition.
