Intellijel Metropolis

"I was really happy to be able to get one of the first Intellijel Metropolis sequencers. I set up last night and got it working in my own way. In the video you can see I have it synced to Ableton Live and my Roland TR-707. The sound source is a Wiard Oscillator running through a Analogue Solutions aka Medic Modules Defibrillator which is a filter but also adds some wicked heft to any source. By changing the Pulse Count on the Metropolis you can get some amazing creative patterns. Changing the Gate Mode then emphasizes notes even further by holding the Pulse Count either in a solid unbreaking sound or repeating pulse. You can see my mess with those parameters in the video too. Finally I control the entire sequence pitch using a Flame Tame Machine Quantizer's CV out. There are many other features this thing has I didn't touch here including clock division, internal quantization, shuffle, stage skipping, presets and more. The Metropolis a really nice. It's a true Moroder/EBM machine."
