Make Noise Rene

Description via Make Noise

"I think, therefore I sequence.

René is the world's first and only Cartesian Sequencer for music synthesizers. Named for the French philosopher & mathematician René Descartes, it uses his cartesian coordinate system to unlock the analog step sequencer from the shackles of linearity.

The primary goal of this sequencer is to have a maximum amount of artist controlled musical variation, with a minimum amount of data input. There are no menus, ALL editing is done real-time, and thus, the programming of René becomes a key performance element.

"cartesian sequencer," "geometric sequencer," "planular sequencer," "axis sequencer," "non-linear sequential tuned voltage map,” all of these would be good descriptions for René.

René has up to 4 clock inputs and 2 CV inputs which may be used simultaneously to achieve complex, musical patterns output in the form of quantized voltages, non-quantized voltages and two gate/ pulse streams.

The faceplate for the René is a printed circuit board. It is black, with white and gold graphics.

This module is 34HP and consumes 80mA worth of current.

Available from Analogue Haven USA, Schneiders Buero Berlin, Post Modular UK, Moog Audio Canada."
