How cool is that? A business card that is actually functional. I love it when manufactures do this. Analogue Solutions had a circuit board business card as well. If you know of others, feel free to leave a comment.
Details, including how to get your own, via Division 6:
"Boards for this fun little sequencer, which can also be used as a tiny keyboard, were handed out to everybody who attended Knobcon 2016. If you're wondering what to do with your board, or want to get one of your very own, you've come to the right place.
Connections, From Left to Right
Power In: 7-15VDC, tip positive (Don't reverse it or it will get mad). Just find a voltage source on your synth somewhere. If the notes being played by the sequencer seem flat, the power supply you have chosen may be dropping too much under load. If you can't or don't want to use your synth to power the sequencer, you can use a 9V Battery or AC power supply.
Clock In: 0-5V is ideal, but going outside that range won't hurt it. Step will advance on rising edge.
CV Out: 1 volt/octave, C=1V/2V/3V. Connect to the CV in on your oscillator (or filter or whatever)
Gate Out: On=+5V. Plug this into your VCA, EG, etc. Gate timing follows the clock when the sequencer is running, buttons when in Ready mode, and stays on while programming.
Operation
Push Run to start playing a sequence. The true green Run LED will light to tell you that you are in Run mode. Push it again to Pause. The sequencer steps can be programmed while paused.
Push reset to stop the sequence, go to step 1, and enter Ready mode. The blue step LED will blink to let you know that you are in Ready mode. This means that when you press Run again, the sequencer will play step 1 on the next clock pulse instead of skipping it and going to step 2.
"The DU-SEQ Eurorack sequencer has some tricks up it's sleeve, including CV input on the Direction/Address function which when modulated, dramatically alters sequence playback and step order.

The Moog Minimoog Model D is back in production for the first time since 1981. The integrity of the legendary Minimoog monophonic analog sound engine is intact, with three vintage-style Moog oscillators and the classic Moog ladder filter, hand-constructed on circuit boards recreated using original designs and component placement. In addition, a number of well-considered new features have been added to the Model D, including analog LFO and filter envelope as modulation sources, a Fatar keybed with velocity and aftertouch, MIDI In/Out/Thru, CV outputs, external modulation CV input, external audio input overload modification, and improved circuit board connectors for touring reliability."
"The Arturia MatrixBrute (http://bit.ly/2d3URrj) is an analog synthesizer with all of the accouterments you might find in a modern digital synth but with that sweet analog tone. The MatrixBrute is a one-stop-shop as far as analog synth tones go. With a powerful sequencer, arpeggiator, a modulation matrix for patching and routing your own signal path, and up to 256 presets you can play this thing live, in the studio and everywhere in between. However, unlike most synthesizers this feature-heavy, the MatrixBrute from Arturia has no LCD screen, no confusing menus or scroll wheels. Everything is right at the tip of your fingers with a plethora of knobs, faders and pads. Read more about the Arturia MatrixBrute at http://bit.ly/2cAqCad
"K5000s arp, WildBerry x0xb0x, Korg Minilogue, Roland JX8P+Arturia KeyStep seq, modded analog drum machines (dr-110, KPR-77) and a cameo from a couple of electribes, shot on iPhone using a new head mount, performed and mixed on a Mackie LM-3204. Other gear visible but not used."
"Ardurack is a multifunction eurorack module based on Arduino.
It has 8 functions all centered around pulse/square signal:
Trigger by the push of a button (2 to 100ms per impulse).
Tap-Tempo trigger (2 to 100ms per impulse).
Modulator, a voltage controlled square wave LFO. Frenquency range is fixed between 0,5Hz (2000ms) and 15Hz (65ms).
Simple square wave VCO (gated or continuous mode).
Complex square wave VCO 1 (gated or continuous mode).
Complex square wave VCO 2 (gated or continuous mode).
Noise (gated or continuous mode).
440Hz Tuner
The conception and functiunalities of the Ardurack make it differ from other modules in it’s own unique way.
Every single mode has it’s own particularity. They may seem simple at first but with well-thought and clever addons, they transform the module in a complex utility workload machine! For instance things like having a hold option on the trigger when it is high, the doubling of the modulator period by the simple push of a button or the gated mode on the VCO’s which avoids the need of an external VCA.
The developing philosopy of the module started from one constraint: The Arduino ProMini board based on the Atmega328p microcontroller. The idea is to extract all good working signal from this chip for the eurorack world. This chip only provides digital signal or square waves. Therefore every output mode is based on square wave / pulse / triggers.
Eventhough it is deliverd fully assembled, functional and equipped with the different modes explained, it is up to you to make this module yur own. You may upgrade or downgrade it’s hardware or firmware! It is possible to re-programm it with the Arduino environement and an FTDI adapter. You may also want to add more inputs and/or outputs out of the non-exploited I/O on the ProMini board. You buy the hardware, the assembly and the developping, the rest is up to you!
As to say, it is also the first official module from Cavisynth Labs.
First of a long list to come!"
"SEQ-UFD is a fuly & small ( 18HP ) 8 step sequencer based on Arduino.
To begin with, why this name: SEQ-UFD ?
Ok, I think “SEQ” it’s obvious, but “UFD” ? no idea?
This means absolutely nothing! Maybe you can found something but the only way is a pun in French.
In French, SEQ-UFD is pronounced the same way as C.Q.F.D (cé. cu. èf. dé )
C.Q.F.D: “Ce qu’il fallait démontrer” -> This was to be demonstrated. Voilà!
Number of steps selector controled by knob
Multimode controlled by knob or CV
Internal or external clock ( internal: 20 to 2500 ms )
Trigger output: ideal for EG (70 ms)
External clock input + reset steps input
8 separated gated output ( like Doepfer A-161 clock sequencer )
8 steps with voltage controled by knob
CV outpout with range controled by knob
List of available modes:
Like the Ardurack, the developing philosopy of the SEQ-UFD started from one constraint: The Arduino ProMini board based on the Atmega328p microcontroller. The idea is to extract all good working signal from this chip for the eurorack world. This chip only provides digital signal or square waves. Therefore every output mode is based on square wave / pulse / triggers / gates.
An ideal context for making a sequencer!
Always like the Ardurack, you may upgrade or downgrade it’s hardware or firmware! It is possible to re-programm it with the Arduino environement and an FTDI adapter. You buy the hardware, the assembly and the developping, the rest is up to you!"
