Anyone know what his custom sequencer was called?

A search on Jen Michel Jarre on the right will bring up tons of previous posts.

I added a label for Michel Geiss.

Analogue Solutions Oberkorn MK3 White

"Oberkorn is a fully fledged professional analogue sequencer providing plenty of control outputs and inputs and with some unique creative features never before seen. Whilst most new analogue sequencers only offer a limiting 8 steps, the Oberkorn offers the all important 16 steps. It is a multi-channel true analogue sequencer with some remarkable features. Below are a list of main features:

- 3 separate Control Voltage channels. Each has a range control.
- 2 separate Gate channels. Either can be on or off, they can be both on together too.
- The Gates can be clocked using internal clock, external clock or use a special Legato mode.
- Nice bright blue LEDs
- MIDI to clock, trigger and step number converter
- Transpose inputs
- Two channels have glide (portamento)
- CV control of clock speed.
- Capability of changing step sequence to anything you want other than the standard 1 to 16.

- Can be reset to step 16, which is very important for synching with other gear.
- This sequencer will work with a Hz/V synth, but works best with the more common V/Oct.
- Much more! For more details on all features of Oberkorn, please read the user manual presented as a PDF below.

A quick note about analogue sequencers:
Analogue sequencers are devices that allow a sequence (up to 16 steps in the case of Oberkorn) of voltages and gate signals to be 'played back' sequentially in order from 1 to 16. Each step has its own control to vary Voltage and a switch to turn the Gate on or off for that step. As the sequencer advances through each step, the CV and Gate signals for that step are output at the CV and Gate sockets. When step 16 is reached, the sequencer resets to step 1 and starts all over again. Oberkorn has 3 CV and 2 Gate channels, 16 steps, and can be made to step in any order. Control Voltage (CV) is normally used to control an oscillator's pitch, but can be used to control any module that has a CV input, such as filter cut-off. The Gate signal is usually used to trigger an envelope, but can be used to control any module with a gate, trigger or clock input. There are many controls and features on an analogue sequencer to give more overall control over the way the sequencer opperates. The major advantage over an analogue sequencer compared to a MIDI/Digital sequencer are: You have direct access to each note pitch (CV) and note on/off (Gate) as there is a separate control for each step. Software sequencers do not offer this advantage, and very very few hardware MIDI sequencers do either. This makes analogue sequencers more immediate and hands on. With this immediate hands on control, you can experiment by altering the controls as the sequence plays, to evolve and manipulate your patterns in real time. As the signals coming from the sequencer are analogue voltages, they can be added, inverted, slewed, or whatever, and can be used as audio or control signals to feed into other analogue devices."

100 /// (A-100 Doepfer Modular System)

YouTube Uploaded by beckhusen on Dec 20, 2011

"Simple title, because it's the video no.100 which i upload to YT. What else maybe a better choise to produce the basic track with the A-100 Analog Modular System for this time?
More about this i included 2 samples which i've created with the Virus C and also a loop which i created with my new Boss RC-30 is running in the background.
Btw. creating the videos is much mor work than producing the sound. Maybe it's time for myself to relax a while with chilling and watchig my own stream at a big flat tv."
