Some More Information
There are 4 octaves on the keyboard. The inclined desk is divided into the following functional sections: Modulator, Generator #1, Generator #2, Mixer and Amplifier.

There are 3 internal audible signal sources in the instrument: to broad-ranged of the Generators with changed form of oscillations and a noise generator for creating a non-musical sounds such as wind, surf, whine, etc.
Possibility to connect an external audible signal sources to the synthesizer is provided for (e.g. guitars, electropianos and electroorgans). Sounds of different external sources are combined separatly in the mixer in any ratio. There is a filter in the synthesizer with cutoff frequency control and resonance to change colour of timbre of audilble signal over a wide range."

"My new Access Virus was defective (and I had a bad experience with their support department) so I replaced it with a Nord Stage Compact instead.

One of the cool things I’ve done so far is split the keyboard with the Left playing Organ AND my Moog LP, and the right hand side playing Rhodes. With the Moog’s new firmware, it can arpeggiate bass over the chords, which is really spiffy. If you bring in the drawbars slowly from nothing it kind of sounds like the intro to the original Star Trek.

Fun."

Sequentix P3

images via this auction

"The unit is mint... fresh as the day I opened the box.
1. It has the rack ears and the unopened wooden cheeks.
2. The P3 MemX - Memory Expansion Board still in the packet.
3. The original manual.
4. An extra printed and bound copy of the manual with plastic cover.
5. A printed and bound copy of the user guide with similar plastic cover.
6. The adapter is of course included and original.

1. Serial number 1094, one of the last few built I believe. Perfect working order no issues, no problems, bright LCD.
With any luck another sequentix sequencer will be available in a few years... when I'm not neck deep in studies.

About the P3
The P3 Sequencer is an 8 track, hardware MIDI sequencer, with a user interface comprised of knobs, keys and LEDs. A sixteen character by two line PLED display provides confirmation of pattern data and access to advanced features and configuration options.

P3 allows real-time control of track mutes and simple pattern or pattern chain selection across multiple tracks, plus analogue-style editing of patterns. Each of its 384 patterns has independent values for note, velocity, tie, gate, length, gate delay, and a combination of up to four MIDI controllers, extra notes, or 'auxiliary events', per step.

P3's unique auxiliary events allow the creation of dynamically self-modifying patterns. They can grab values from other tracks, randomise steps, alter track and global settings, and much more. There are three modulation 'accumulators' per track, that can be used as LFOs, perform arpeggiation effects or enable complex pattern progressions.

Furthermore, you can assign front panel knobs to modify or mask these events in real-time, allowing you to create interactive patterns that change predictably as you adjust the knobs - varying in complexity, controlling levels of randomness, even 'morphing' from one pattern to another.

A Force-to-scale option provides preset and user-defined scales to keep everything in key (but defeat-able per pattern step if required), and a configurable 'change mode' allows patterns with different lengths and/or time-bases to free-run, or be synced to a global bar.
