Why Do I need this sequencer? What’s So Special?
AS500 is formatted differently and operates differently than other step sequencers.
Traditionally step sequencers run horizontally from left to right then loop back to step one. You can make the pattern shorter, but generally, that’s it.
AS500 patterns run vertically downwards in columns. As the end of each column is played, the next to the right is played.
AS500 has a unique Jump system. When a Jump switch is on, the rest of the column’s steps are bypassed and the sequencer jumps straight to the start of the next column
These two features in particular are familiar enough ways of working to be intuitive, but different enough to force you to work and think in a slightly different way. The end result is you will get sequences and patterns that you might not have created otherwise.
More Variation
Many step sequencers can start to sound repetitive since it’s usually the same single pattern looping endlessly.
AS500 allows you to split the sequencer in half and use the right half as a Fill-In pattern to add variation, much like vintage drum machines.
These Fills are activated via a Push Button, or via a trigger pulse from an external modular.
AS500’s format and Jump switches, combined with excellent features like Fill-In, Split sequencers and other features makes AS500 a great sequencer package.
The AS500-SEQ boasts a range of features that set it apart from other CV sequencers. With multiple CV/Gate outputs, it can control a variety of analogue gear simultaneously. The built-in Fill and Reset functions add a new level of creativity to sequences, making it a true analogue experience.
