I built that for Thomas Heckmann in 2002. He made the front panel and the plan for what it should do. I made the circuits. Each channel is independently clocked and can go forward, backward, back and forth, forth and back, or random. There's an internal clock source and quantizer based on the ARP sequencer design. Right after i moved back from Germany the power supply melted and he hasn't been able to get it running again. It did work when it left my place though....
ReplyDeletemark: any chance of schematics? sounds like an interesting sequencer from your description. a bit like the snd sam-16, which is the best analogue sequencer i've ever tried
