"8 Steps, with wide pitch range, (with On, Off, or Pulse* for each step)
CV, Gate and S-Trig outputs
CV width control
Output for each stage (which can also be used with the reset input to set sequence length)
External Clock and Reset inputs
*Unique pulse function allowing ratchet or timing offset effects
Manual step and reset buttons
Internal clock, pulse rate
Estimated price £225 plus shipping (subject to +/- 10%)
Handmade in the UK
Due to the high cost of parts and long build time I want to see if it is going to be worthwhile in the current economic climate to do a run of these, when the prototype is finished I will be doing a video of it in action.

If you feel that you may be interested in this sequencer please respond to this email to allow me to gauge demand. Assuming production goes ahead I estimate the first units will ship in April.

Thanks and best wishes
Zoe"

"This uses just the Q119 sequencer for the bass line and melody. The envelopes for the melody are triggered by the Modcan Clock 55B, a footswitch changes the rate between the same as the bass line and 1/4 the rate. The drums are Analogue Solutions TR808 clones for the bass drum and hihat and the snare is the 909 clone. The Moonmodular M563 drives the drums and the M564 lets me repeat the first row after the third row for a 32 note bass line."

Circuit Bent 4 Step Sequencer www.thebetatesters.org

"This is a very fun and attractive 4 step sequencer. The stain is a warm dark red color that goes amazing with the blue LEDs. Each step has a fine and coarse tune knob to control the pitch. The speed or BPM of the sequencer is controlled by the knob at the top left. You have the option to toggle between 4 steps (notes), 3 steps, or 2 step patterns. Each step has the option of being turned off also. The 4 LEDs at the bottom indicate the place in sequence that is currently being played. The whole thing runs off a 9v battery and has a 1/4 inch output jack that can be plugged into a guitar amp or anything that will accept a 1/4 jack.
Keep in mind this is a build intended to appeal to circuit benders and synth people alike. This may not act like your usual store bought sequencer. That is the great part about it. There are sounds you can create with this that no other product is capable of."
