MachineRoom STP16

video upload by MachineRoom

"STP16 is an 16-step trigger/gate sequencer working in 2 modes:

16 step mode - In this mode STP16 uses "hocketing", in our case it controls two channels using one 3-position switch. In the left position of switches 1-16, the trigger is sent to channel A (blue led), in the right - channel B (red led), the middle position - no signal. In this mode, only one of the channels plays during the step, which allows you to quickly create a rhythmic pattern from two instruments, an example can be a combination of open/closed hi-hats.

8 step mode - A 16-step sequence can be divided into two 8-step sequences using the 8/16 switch, in this case the toggles will work as in a classic sequencer, ON in the right position, OFF in the middle. The mode is convenient when you need corresponded steps of both channels to be played simultaneously. One of the channels can be used to reset the other, shortening the sequence.

The clock signal will be the same for both sequences, Out A will be responsible for the left channel, Out B - for the right.

Сlock - clock

Gate/Trigger - In Gate mode STP16 operates with tied gate signal and can, for example, control a VCA.


Direction (UP/DOWN) - allows you to play the sequence in the reverse direction, works equally in 8 and 16 step modes.

CV controls:

Reset - returns the sequence to step number 1, works equally for both 8 and 16 steps.

Gate/Trig - changing between the modes

Each switch has 2 positions: trigger or tied gate. The Reset input allows you to make the sequence as short as you want. Ideal for creating and manipulating rhythmic sequences in live sets."

Analog Chimera : ½ ARP + ½ Moog (MachineRoom Trilobite)

video upload by Valmont

"Unconcise demo of a Trilobite triple VCO (Moog 204D) processed by an og ARP Axxe mkII (in mkI cabinet), with that often neglected 4075 VCF... which does sound exceptionally well?! This ARP is considered for sale though :) For the FM patches I plugged one of the VCOs output into the FM in of one other. And the retrig mode it's the Arp Repeat switch enabled!

0:00 - raw audio ahead
0:12 - solid PW 1
0:23 - solid PW 2
0:34 - soft 1
0:46 - soft 2
0:57 - arp PW
1:16 - soft 3
1:30 - arp triangles
1:41 - arp sawtooths
1:57 - arp FM 1
2:13 - arp FM 2
2:29 - arp FM 3
2:50 - HFO FM
3:23 - overdriven VCF

Sorry for the weird video edit with those scopes surrounding the Arp, I had a terrible mess around which I didn't consider until I finished the video... Too late ha, I only found that way to hide it x))"

"TRILOBITE is a triple saw-core oscillator analogue module inspired by the original Moog schematics and made with thru-hole components only

The module features:

– 4 octave ranges

– 3 waveforms (triangle, square, saw),

– UNISON (FINE) control with a range of +/- 12 semi-tones

– Independent LIN FM and PWM inputs with attenuators

– White noise source

Independent audio output is provided for each oscillator. A mixed output is also present featuring a level control.

We are recommend to use independent audio outputs to avoid distortion, in this case MiX output works as WHITE NOISE source with attenuator.

V/oct input of the first oscillator is normalled to all 3 oscillators, so OSC2 and OSC3 would track it too, however, connecting other signals to the other V/oct inputs make each input independent.
