FOLKTEK ART SYNTH SEQUENCER

via this auction
"The Scape Sequencer was originally designed as an accompaniment to the time machine or any of its close cousins, ie. the Time Scape, however, it is made to work with any piece of gear that has a point to point patchbay including any of the patchable folktek works. Just as well, every patchable circuit bent, modified or custom instrument with a patchbay can be controlled by the Scape Sequencer and will be given entirely new dimension. Drum machines, casio sk-1's, keyboards, effect machines etc. so long as they have a patchbay. Most things with a point to point patchbay will output a clock signal (if it doesn't have a clock out already) which means you can bypass the internal clock on this sequencer and synch to whatever you like.

It gives entirely new dimension to everything we've tried it out with. Playability is simple - there are two "mains" to control respectively, parts 1-4 and parts 5-8 of the whole 8 part step sequencing - these are patched to any points on the main patchbay, then parts 1-8, any or all of them, are patched to alternate points on the patchbay making switches as the step proceeds.

In addition, parts can be added with the "add step" button, so intead of having one part proceed step by step, any number of parts can be addedcreating a matrix effects and connecting multiple points at once and in succesion. Parts can then be subtracted as desired using the "subtract step" button.

Furthermore, all parts can be erased at once or the step can be paused with the push of a button.

There is a time knob and a swing knob to control timing variation and it has jacks for clock in and clock out."
