NAMM: ARCHANGEL: Analog Sequencer and Touchplate Controller

Overview via Detachment 3 where you'll find additional info & media:

"Performance. Control. Expression.

These words describe the driving factors behind the design of the Archangel sequencer. When we started developing Archangel, we wanted to make something that is extremely functional yet acts as a catalyst for your creativity. The result? An analog sequencer streamlined for performance and interactivity in the modern electronic studio.

Performance

Archangel at its core is a 4-row 16-step analog sequencer with integrated 16-pad touchplate controller. The layout of the sequencer allows for instant access to every function available. Archangel can be its own timing master as well as slave to MIDI, DIN sync or an external clock pulse. The sequence length can be set from 1 to 16 stages, and step size can be adjusted from 1/32nd note to two bars. To speed composition and improvisation Archangel has an integrated multi-scale quantizer.
Control

The sequencer has five direction modes and three integrated sequential switches. There are two 2:1 switches on the top and bottom pair of rows as well as a single 4:1 switch for all 4 rows. Altering the step size and number of steps per row does not take effect until the start of the next pattern. The Archangel sequencer can free-run or operate in one-shot mode, which will stop when the pattern reaches the last step. The pattern can be restarted with the start/stop button, the external stage 1 gate, or via the touchplate keyboard.
Expression

As well as operating as a standard sequencer, Archangel can be played with the touchplate keyboard. Each sequencer stage will be activated when the corresponding key is touched. Each touchplate key is both pressure and position sensitive, giving 2D control of any parameter in your synthesizer system. Finally, there is an external CV addressing input that allows Archangel to be used as either a CV-controlled sequencer or a low-frequency step-based waveshaper."

You might remember the eurorack system with Roland CR-8000 on top from this previous post.

A-ha's Paul Savoy's Vermona DRM1 MKIII For Sale?

via this auction
SN D 04651

"From The personal collection of Paul Savoy:

Paul is the guitarist and main songwriter for A-ha, one of the most successful bands of the 1980s. He has written most of the band's biggest hits, including "The Sun Always Shines on T.V.", "Hunting High and Low", "Take on Me", the James Bond theme "The Living Daylights" and the ballad "Summer Moved On". Mr. Savoy is a patron of the Woodstock Music Shop.

The DRM1 MKIII is an analogue drum synthesizer.

It offers eight instruments, each with seven knobs for forming the sound plus a panorama- and a volume-controller. The user interface is absolutely clear and intutitve - one knob, one function.

The instruments on the DRM1 MKII are as following:

KICK
Mainly but not only for making big and fat kick drums.

DRUM1 and DRUM2
Very flexible instruments that can generate kick- and tom sounds a s well as bongos. Anything from zapp to bling and fantastic PIUU...

MULTI
Three oscillators can be detuned and gives you nice cowbell-like sounds. If you like submarines you can create a nice sonar ping.

SNARE
What can we say about that? Well, you get what you expect.

Hi Hat1 and Hi Hat2
That's analogue (heavy- or soft-) metal.

CLAP
Classic analogue hand claps.

The instruments of the DRM1 MKIII can be triggered by MIDI (of course velocity-sensitive). There is also an optional trigger option available that connects the drum machine to your analogue step sequencer or whatever gives out gate voltage or switch trigger. Beside the main outputs each channel is equipped with an individual output that also can be used as a channel insert."

Doepfer R2M Midi Ribbon Controller

via this auction
Noisebug (RSS)

"R2M is a ribbon controller that generates control signals by moving the finger on the ribbon manual. The output signals are generated as Midi and CV/Gate control voltages simultaneously. Consequently R2M allows to control both Midi and CV/Gate based equipment (e.g. analog synthesizers or analog modular systems). R2M is the abbreviation for Ribbon to (2) MIDI.
R2M is made of two parts: the manual and the control box. For the manual the same type as the for the modular version A-198 is used. It includes a 50 cm position sensor and a pressure sensor. The control box converts the data coming from the manual (finger position and pressure) into the corresponding Midi data resp. CV/Gate voltages.

These are the most important R2M features:
* very precise and sensitive position sensor (length 50 cm) that responds even to light finger touch
* sensible pressure sensor located below the position sensor
* solid metal frame (double U-shape profile), silver-grey color
* several M3 threads on all sides (e.g. to mount the manual on a base or to mount several manuals together or to fix a strap or ...)
* measures: about 600 length x 30 width x 18 height (measures in mm)
* weight: about 900 g
* connection to the control box via 4-pin cable (same as used for USB connections but no USB function )
* cable included, length 1m (longer cables are available at extra charge, a standard USB cable type A-A can be used)"
