"Up for auction is a MTRX-8 sequencer, currently has the SEQ X 4 v1.0 firmware in it.
I built a stand for it so it could sit behind one of my synths. Its easy to remove as it just has two bolts on either side, but the original 'ears' have two holes in them where the new stand affixes to.
More info on it here, there's also a bunch of videos too.

This on is the first version, slightly bigger than the second version. Sequencer is in good condition, but given that the surface is perspex it has a lot of small marks/scuffs on it. Never gigged, just had minimal studio use, smoke free / animal free studio.
Comes with power supply (not pictured)."

New FYRD Instruments SQR Analog & MIDI Sequencer

via FYRD Instruments:

"The SQR sequencer is our entry in the modular world. This 4-channels desktop sequencer is very adaptable: you can use it with MIDI gears or modular rigs, you can play it like a classical 16-steps sequencer or go crazy and use the probabilistic approach on top of an innovative stage behavior sequencer, you can sequence on 4 monophonic channels or easily compose a 4 voices polyphonic exotic chord, you can sync it with MIDI or an external clock signal from your modular rig or use its internal clock, to name a few.

Apart from its powerful features, the greatest strength of the SQR is its ability to help you visualize what you are doing. Its big and easy-to-read led display can show you every variations in your sequence, from individual gate lengths to pitches and octaves, from individual slide lengths to chord names or step probabilities. Everything is clear and hands-on: you have direct access to all the essentials parameters and you can visualize everything instantly.

Very similar to the MTRX in design, the SQR is made from top quality components at each stage. From the beautiful enclosure to the Digital-To-Analog converter, each component has been choosen carefully to offer the best possible experience to the user. And we are very proud of the result!


First 50 units will be available by the end of August. The firsts 50 units will be selled at 499€ (incl. VAT), the next will be selled at 599€.

Shipping is 10€ for France, 30€ for Europe, 40€ for USA/Canada and 50€ for others countries.

Specifications

16-steps with individual control of pitch, octave, gate length, gate probability, slide length and stage behavior

4x CV/Gate channels with mono- or polyphonic control (chords)

16-stages behavior sequencer: for each stage you can either play it normally or skip it, stay blocked on it for up to 16 steps, create a tril (up to 8 notes per step) or jump to any other step of your choosing

selectable shapes for the slide between two notes (exponential, linear, ...)

selectable scale for pitches and chords

selectable CV offset per channel

for each channel: loop-in/loop-out, warp mode (forward, backward, ping-pong), step duration (1/32th to 2 bars)

3x sync modes: internal (with or without MIDI clocks out), external clock (for modular rigs) and MIDI

selectable clock divider for all sync modes, both for input and output clocks

New Fyrd Instruments SEQ X4 WALKTHROUGH

Published on Mar 7, 2014

"SEQ X4 is the new interface for the MTRX MIDI controller. It comes as a free alternative interface to the Jam Machine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWsMaC...). [posted here] It features 4 completely independent 32-step sequencers with:
- pitch, velocity, octave, duration
- shift (small delay of each step)
- bend (pitch wheel sequencing - Slide/Glide effect)
- active step selection, loop length
- speed (1/32th, 1/16th, 1/8th, 1/4th)
- warp (forward/backward/ping-pong/random)

The SEQ X4 interface can be sync'ed via MIDI clock message as a Master or a Slave and use the Fyrd Instruments Lock System (FILS). The sync can comes from a computer or MIDI device (SLAVE/FILS) or from the MTRX itself. It outputs MIDI messages (notes, pitch bend) both on USB and MIDI ports simultaneously (thus can act as a MIDI/USB interface with sync ability).

The SEQ X4 firmware is compatible with both MTRX-8 and the new MTRX-S (the first prototype is used in the video).

The MTRX-S can be pre-ordered now on www.fyrd-instruments.com.
249€ with FREE SHIPPING worldwide (limited time offer till the end of the MTRX-S pre-order)."
