"Playing with the sequencing idea first presented in the Blacet Binary Zone module, this patch uses Frames (Mutable Instruments) as a voltage mixer, combining and scaling gate outputs from Tempi (Make Noise), outputting repeating melodic sequences from timing information.
Basic patch:
Tempi outs 1-4 --> Frames ins 1-4
Frames mix out --> VCO 1v/oct in
By setting channel levels on Frames, each pattern of clock divisions entering the module is referenced by a specific voltage at the output. When these patterns overlap, their voltages are summed and the resulting voltage pattern at the output grows more complex.
By modulating the State parameter on Tempi, different arrangements of patterns can be created, altering the output (essentially creating new sequences built around the same notes described by Frames' channel levels).
Likewise, by modulating the keyframe on Frames, different input levels can be recalled, altering the notes in the patterns created by the Tempi gates.
Tempi output 6 --> Tempi Gate Select, Frames Modulation
By feeding a Tempi channel back into its State select input, and multing this to Frames' modulation input (while in Sequencer mode), precisely timed alterations of the voltage sequence can be produced. Additionally, the repetition of these patterns can be offset by having an unequal number of Keyframes (Frames) and States (Tempi).

"Listed here is the legendary Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 REV 3 w/ factory midi! This prophet, as with all of our other synthesizers, has been meticulously restored to beyond almost new condition. All CEM chips are functioning, all controls work and are not scratchy or dodgy. The wood on this prophet is beautiful and free from notable defects or chips. The bade logos are also great on this unit and do not suffer the same wear as many other units do. The service done on this keyboard insures it's longevity. The power supply has been recapped to avoid the dreaded tantalum shorting that is common in these units. Further, all tantalum capacitors in the voice and CPU boards have also been replaced as they often short and cause other issues. These issues were not present before we did work on this prophet, but was done to ensure they wont happen to its new owner. This unit has factory midi as well as the digital interface. It is well in tune. The key bushings have been replaced and the keys feel amazing and do not double strike or chirp."
