1 Beatseqr, 4 Tracks, and a Ton of Fun

"This is my third video demonstrating Steve Cooley's handmade 16-step MIDI controller, the Beatseqr. In this video I am showing how you can use the Beatseqr to simultaneously send MIDI information to multiple tracks/instruments in Logic. Then, using a control surface I can toggle those different instruments on and off.

With the four programable patterns available in the Beatseqr this allows for potentially huge number of pattern/instrument combinations.

Beatseqr Logic Demo

YouTube via solarno72 | January 10, 2011 |

"This is part one of my testing of Steve Cooley's awesome handbuilt Beatseqr 16-step sequencer and MIDI controller. In parts one and two I am using the Beatseqr to trigger sounds from the default Ultrabeat sound bank.

Part one looks at the basic functions of the Beatseqr. Part two shows how I have used it to lay down a 'live' drum sequence during a studio project.

Thanks Steve!"

Beatseqr beat-tweaker inna dub garage stylee

"This is me playing around with Steve Cooley's amazing beatseqr hardware controller. I'm running it through a Macbook Pro, with Roxor and Steppa, the open-source software designed specifically for the hardware. The Macbook is sending MIDI out to an Emu ESI-32, and I'm also adding Space Echo, spring reverb and digital delay to individual tracks. I spent about 10 minutes beforehand programming the step sequencer, otherwise everything is live."
