Z8000 Matrix Sequencer

via TipTop Audio via the Muff forum
"So here is the panel design, nothing is final, open to suggestion.

My goal, is to try and keep it as small as possible, and affordable.

What you see is a set of analog CV step sequencer with 4 sets of 4 step sequencer rows and columns.

But there are also two 16 step sequencer assignments at the bottom. the first one's sequential stages being A1-A2-A3-A4-B1-B2-B3-B4--C1-etc. the second one being A1-B1-C1-D1-A2-B2-C2-D2-A3-etc. as indicated by the graphic under each 16 stage CV out.

The white circles are bicolor leds, using bicolor LEDs the 4 stage sequencers will be assigned the color red while the 16 stage sequencer will be tracked visually by the color green.

The CVs will output 0-10V, that is good to control any CV input in the system like pitch, Cutoff etc etc but also high enough to fire Envelopes or to patch one sequencer to control the direction of another sequencer, clock it, rest it etc. And those sequencers can be clocked at audio rate.

The real fun will be to surround the Z8000 with a clock divider, Quantizer, and logic gates. It is a lot of fun to have sequencers running at different speeds and different directions using all those logic modules controlling them. I like to call it logic modulation."
