Toraiz AS-1 Sounds (and Coffee) Part 5: "Sequencer Shenanigans"

Published on Jan 24, 2019 Stochastic Design

"Well, maybe not 'shenanigans' but at least we show off the simple, yet effective sequencer of the AS-1. It should really be viewed more as a sketch pad similar to sequencers that used to be built into some older synths such as the SH-101, but as it offers real-time transposing of sequences and is so easy to program, it's a useful addition nevertheless."
