Create evolving patterns with hands-on sequencing
Build melodic and rhythmic ideas using eight programmable steps, each equipped with individual pitch and gate controls. Adjust note pitches, change gate behaviour, and introduce rests to shape your sequences without navigating complicated menus. Variable step lengths also let you create patterns that move beyond conventional eight-step arrangements, giving your music more rhythmic variety.
Multiple playback directions, including forward, reverse, pendulum, and random, provide different ways to explore the same sequence. You can experiment with unexpected note orders, create repeating phrases, or introduce subtle changes as your music develops. Dedicated physical controls keep these functions accessible throughout your performance.
Develop longer arrangements with dual pattern chains
Two independent pattern chains give you greater control over how your musical ideas develop. Each chain contains four pattern memories, allowing you to prepare different sequences and arrange them into longer musical passages. You can switch between patterns during playback, helping you introduce new sections while maintaining the flow of your performance.
Pattern chain controls also let you determine how sequences progress, with options for changing playback behaviour and introducing variation. This is particularly useful when performing electronic music live, where keeping arrangements interesting often means making adjustments in real time. You can develop your ideas gradually without constantly rebuilding individual sequences.
Explore melodic possibilities with flexible pitch controls
Dedicated pitch controls let you reshape your sequences without editing every individual note. The scale selector includes chromatic, major, minor, and additional musical scales, helping you explore different tonal characteristics while keeping your melodies within a chosen framework. This makes it easier to experiment with new musical ideas while maintaining a consistent harmonic structure.
A transpose control lets you shift entire sequences into different registers, giving familiar patterns a different character. Pitch quantisation provides further control over note selection, while additional pitch settings let you refine how your sequences respond. Together, these functions encourage melodic experimentation and make real-time adjustments straightforward.
Connect external instruments and recall your favourite patterns
Bring the sequencer into your existing setup using its MIDI, CV, gate, and analogue sync connections. MIDI input and output allow communication with compatible electronic instruments, while CV and gate outputs provide control over analogue synthesizers and modular equipment. Analogue sync connections also help coordinate playback between compatible devices, keeping your connected instruments working together.
Built-in memory provides 12 pattern locations for storing and recalling musical ideas. You can prepare sequences before a performance, save arrangements during studio sessions, or return to earlier experiments without starting again. Combined with its dedicated performance controls, these connectivity and memory options make the sequencer a practical addition to an electronic music setup.
