First Steps With Steppy - New 4-track Programmable Gate Sequencer from Intellijel

Uploaded on Oct 11, 2018 Intellijel

"Steppy is a 4-track programmable gate sequencer with eight internal memory slots, external clocking, various playback options, and a performance-first design aesthetic.
Each track features numerous parameters that govern its playback independently of the other tracks. Specifically:
Each track has its own length, which can range from 1-step to 64-steps, allowing for polyrhythms, fills, or constantly evolving gate interactions between tracks.
Each track has its own gate length, which ranges from very short to very long, with tied gates possible at the extreme setting.
Each track has its own clock divider, allowing patterns to play out over completely different periods of time.
Each track has its own swing setting, which offsets the timing of every other step.
Each track has its own delay setting, which offsets the timing of every step.
Each track has its own probability control, which sets the likelihood that each programmed gate will fire when called upon by the pattern.
Each track can be shifted (or ‘rotated’) forward or backward by a number of steps. So if you’ve created a pattern that ‘feels’ like it has its downbeat on step 3, you can shift that pattern two steps backward, so that the downbeat sits on step 1.
Tracks can be selected and modified in real time as the sequence plays. A SELECT button allows you to access each track (and each page of 16 steps within that track) directly through Steppy’s intuitive multifunction buttons array.
Tracks can be individually muted and unmuted, and a special performance mode (called “Loopy”) enables you to touch any two gate steps and instantly create a performance that loops between those steps.
In addition, each step within a track can be assigned a different number of ratchets (repeats), and a special Tap Record mode lets you record patterns in real-time, rather than via a step-recording grid.
Track patterns can be cleared without clearing their playback parameters, and all track patterns (along with their individual playback and performance parameters) can be saved as a preset to one of eight internal memory slots."

Steppy was first revealed at Superbooth 2018.

"Demonstration of the analog oA oscillator, fA filter, and mA mixer/envelope/VCA."

Mungo is known for their digital eurorack modules and of course the $8900 (initially $12,000) Mungo Enterprises State Zero.

"Analog realization of the universal oscillator with a single frequency range spanning LFOs to ultrasonic. Phase modulation directly drives the stable triangle core appearing in both outputs. Continuously adjustable synchronization strength allows locking to odd, even, or fractional ratios of a master oscillator, all voltage controlled. Audio demos of the module recorded directly off the outputs:

Triangle phase modulation, manual depth control of triangle modulator
Sawtooth phase modulation, manual depth control of triangle modulator into clipping
Sawtooth sync, manual adjustment of window size
Triangle sync, manual adjustment of master frequency"

"If you enjoyed this please consider the album Memory via Bandcamp. All proceeds from the album are donated to #EndAlz (Alzheimer's Association) https://xinjoe.bandcamp.com/album/memory

Patched this on site... really simple mixture of DPO drone and Morphagene playing a prepared sample of strings and piano I wrote earlier that day. A little bit of music box at the beginning via contact mic.

The patch was mostly played by hand via knobs and Pressure Points with some random coming from the Wogglebug into the MG."

"100% perfect working condition. Really beautiful condition, with all original knobs, keys, switches, sliders, logos, etc. present and accounted for. Please see the picture of the top left corner of the synth- please note that there is a small crack in the case. Really of only concern to obsessive collectors. The dude that I had bought this from on Reverb also claimed that he had bought this from the legendary Three Wave Music in NJ- analog synth Nirvana."
