"Peter Grenader’s Milton Sequencer
aka Cyndustries Milton Sequencer
aka Plan B Model 21 Sequencer
Up for auction is a partially assembled Milton Sequencer. I was Order #5 for this straight from Peter. I was really looking forward to this sequencer to control some modular gear and I almost fully populated the Engine and one Bank board--but then I ran out of time and the project sat for several years. It’s not going to sit anymore—it’s going to get built very soon by your hands!!!
If you haven’t seen the Milton, it is a dream analog sequencer that has highly configurable functionality depending on parts you populate on the boards--it is a great design! This auction includes all parts for the maximum configuration allowed by the Engine board. You may choose to do this maximum configuration or you can build it any way you like. You even get to design its user interface and control panel to be the centerpiece of your analog rack in whatever format you desire. Hopefully you'll make this an art piece! Fun stuff!
For a while Cynthia Webster for Cyndustries Modular Synthesizers company was making these but her module is no longer available. Currently similar (but inferior) pre-configured sequencers are available from Peter's Plan B company in the Module 21 series. Winning this auction you will get your Cynthia/Plan B sequencer you’ve been wanting; and you can configure the functionally well beyond anything offered commercially! This is your chance to get a nearly full parts kit for all 6 bank boards and you can get started right away!
Included in this auction
>>>> 1 Milton Engine Board…this is mostly populated. Has “Cynthia CYN10” and “PCB by Ken Stone “screened on it.
>>>> 6 Milton Bank Boards…one board is mostly populated, the remaining 5 are not populated. (note that in the picture, one pack of 3 boards is opened and each is displayed while the other pack of 3 is still sealed--under the Main Engine PCB).
>>>> 1 Milton 2-sided Original Schematic and electronic documentation. I will provide this hard-copy 11x17 inch 2-sided schematic along with all other electronic documentation I have available on a CDr. Also I have a printed copy of the manual dated June 2003.
>>>> Various Parts to finish the project. Parts include resistors, capacitors, diodes, ICs, transistors, LEDs, switches, pots, knobs (and faceplate mounting washers and nuts; knobs have a "soft" feel--same as Blacet uses; I have blue and gray knobs included!), professionally made ribbon cables connectors (that are used to connect the boards) and various other required parts. There are a few parts that ARE NOT INCLUDED—the stage gate output jacks (because I hadn’t decided banana or 1/8" mini-jack) and power supply (you have to provide 12-15V DC power).
Sequencer Configuration Choices
I was going for the fully-loaded setup. Of course, you can choose your own configuration and if less than mine you will have some spare parts.
My configuration was going to be:
6x 16 step CV banks
6x 16 step Programmable Pulse Bus
6x 16 step Stage Pulse Outs (output jacks not included)
1x 16 LEDs
Now that is one heck of an amazing analog sequencer! I was going to use the pulse outs to trigger drum sounds but you can use them for whatever you wish." via bug.out
