New Meta Sequencer Eurorack Module by Microbe Modular
Published on Dec 11, 2014 clone45a6
"Upcoming Meta Sequencer - a compact CV sequencer - from Microbe Modular."
"I'm extremely pleased to announce the upcoming release of the Meta Sequencer by Microbe Modular. The Meta Sequencer is a compact CV sequencer. Step editing is intuitive and requires no menus. Advanced settings are managed using a 'flat' menu system.
Basic features:
Easy sequence editing using two rotary encoders with two corresponding numeric displays. The top encoder selects the sequence step. The bottom encoder selects the value.
Clock input and manual push-button
Reset input and manual push-button.
12 bit CV output
Three way switch to select between Playback Mode / Edit Mode / Settings Mode.
All sequence and settings information is immediately stored in non-volatile ram (technically, FRAM). You don't have to worry about saving or loading..
Advanced features include:
Selectable sequence length from 1 to 64 steps. (This might be increased to 128 steps.)
Built in clock divider, from 1 to 512.
Output quantization (optional) - 16 different musical scales available.
Sequence Randomize / Clear functions
Even more advanced features:
"Drift" settings (percentage and amount) - allows the sequence values to drift from their original values. The drift amounts do not affect the underlying sequence and are reset when the sequence is reset. Great for slowly evolving CV output.
"Slip" setting (percentage) - Sets the sequencer "slippage", which is a percentage chance of the playback sequencer NOT stepping when it normally would.
"Hold" setting (optional) - Applies a Sample & Hold to the sequence output based on a gate pattern derived from the hold setting (0-255). I'll explain this in greater detail later, but it's pretty cool.
All advanced settings can be active simultaneously.
Technical Specifications
Width: 6HP
Runs off either the +/-12V supply only, or a combination of +/-12V and 5V supplies, selectable via a jumper in the rear. Unlike the Equation Composer, no +5 volt supply is required.
Typical current requirements: 80mA.
Price and availability:
Unknown. We're building this module to be as affordable as possible. It'll probably be ready around March 2015.

Rare Vintage Movement MCS-2 Drum Computer for Sale
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
" Up for auction is one of the rarest drum machines out there! Made famous by the Eurythmics, Thompson Twins and Thomas Dolby, the Movement is a true "drum computer" in that all sequencing is done on a modified home PC that triggers external analog and digital drum sounds. Each sound card contains both analog synth drum type sounds (think Simmons) and gritty digital samples (like the Linn drum)
There were only about 35 of these made, and there are very few in existence these days. Of those that are still around (perhaps less than 10), most probably don't work. I am guessing there are only probably 1 or 2 of these in the US at most.
Although the software is not loading correctly on this particular unit, all drum sounds can be triggered from the front panel buttons OR they can be sequenced using an external sequencer (there are trigger inputs for all sounds). The sequencer was pretty basic anyway, so using an external sequencer is definitely the easiest way to go. This makes it totally useable in a modern studio.
This is a piece of vintage electronic equipment and so it is being sold totally "as-is" and there will be no returns. Although it is fairly robust and should work upon arrival, I make no guarantees that it will. Anyone buying it should be prepared to deal with a partly non-working unit.
Don't miss your chance to grab an extremely rare piece of music history!"

Custom Roland TR-606 (Decay mods, Ind. outs, Quicksilver CPU upgrade)
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via MATRIXSYNTH CLASSIFIEDS
See all items from this seller here.
"Up for grabs is my custom 606. The unit was originally restored and modded by Diabolical Devices. The mod adds tone controls for Bass Drum and Snare (can provide more specifics), individual outputs, and Custom Leds (see pics). This unit was then sent to Social Entropy for Quick Silver CPU installation.
Its kinda awkward pricing custom units like this to begin with, and I am emotionally attached to this one (it's a badass), so I am open for discussion on price, but please consider the following when making offers:
Cost of stock 606, Diabolical Devices Mod/Restoration, Quicksilver OS CPU and Midi install (adds both usb and din midi to the 606, both available simultaneously and can be used in conjunction with the normal trigger outs)
For those interested, I will provide more specifics and soun1150d examples on DD mods, but to get a feel for teh QS CPU just check the videos on youtube please."

"This is not a production unit, but a one-off creation that i ended up purchasing from BL here on ebay, so no manual though the operation is very straightforward.
4ch Gate Sequencer with Clock In, Thru, and Reset. Each channel has it's own gate output, there is also a gate out (seen at the top left) that outputs on the 1 of every bar. Also has a manual reset button (big yellow one) that you can use to add some interesting variations to your pattern on the fly, rolls, etc."
