Sequencing Sequencers

video upload by boxoftextures

"Really powerful sequencer technique, I spent a lot of the past weekend working on variations of these sequences and am pretty stoked about it. The concept is not my original idea, was from an 'I had a breakthrough' post in one of my iPad music Facebook groups. Using one sequencer, Euclidean, not for notes but to start and stop two other sequencers, so you end up with ever-changing note patterns. Sounds amazing, really happy with the idea and with the results.

AUM as the studio, with Euclidean stopping and starting two copies of Atom Piano Roll 2, which are sending notes to two copies of iSEM. And another iSEM playing a bass sequence from Euclidean for good measure.

One thing I neglected to mention in the video is the gate length. Default is I think 25%, which is fine for most normal purposes. But if you set it to 5% it might only play the first four notes of a 19-note sequence. But on the other hand, the reason my A sequence plays twice through before it stops is because I set the gate length to 80%, so the "note" is held for quite some time, which then means that the sequence it triggered keeps playing. Different gate lengths, different effects. I spent a good bit of time on that in the first take but completely forgot it in the second, alas.

Also, you can probably do this with any number of sequencers, doesn't necessarily have to be Euclidean and Atom Piano Roll 2. I just happen to like those.

"you can see in the live chat when I added each module and what it was setup to play.

then I made various manual live tweaks on top of the evolving generative patch functions"

"The JP-8000 is a classic analog modeling synth, it is famous for being the original synth to include the super saw waveform. There is full control of all the parameters on the front panel causing there to be little menu diving.

This classic is in immaculate condition, a total time capsule! Recently calibrated and has a freshly installed battery. Purchased from the original owner, super clean! Screen protector is still in place."

"The word BEAST comes to mind... This is a module that's basically a 6 voice Matrix 12 sans the keyboard! The Matrix patching allows for the most elaborate sounds you could make with an analog synth. It has 5 LFOs!! Create deep, elaborate sounds for years to come! In very good to excellent condition, and functions exactly as it should! It's a fantastic spaceship of a synth!"

Roland System 100M Modular Synthesizer - Roland Studio System Synthesiser 191-J

"Has the standard configuration in the 191-J case / power unit.

112 Dual VCO SN 890912
121 Dual VCF SN 900870
130 Dual VCA SN 760224
140 Dual Envelope SN 750224
150 Ring Mod/Noise/S&H/LFO SN 770579

This unit was put together by EMIS in Bristol in the early 2000's. It was originally a 100V model and EMIS changed the transformer for a 240V. One of the cables that connects the modules to the power supply is a replacement, the other four, original. I have switched the slider caps for some new ones which I found a bit easier to control when you're trying to move the sliders small amounts. The original slider caps are included as well (the last couple of photos show the S100M with the original caps on)."
