ARK Core

The ARK's Core, by Befaco and Tesseract Modular: the engine of a 16-track sequencer (16 + 1 tracks, 64 patterns, 16 parts, 16 scenes) with its own sound and CV devices, one per track: drums, samplers, synth voices, oscillators, polyphonic and physical modelling voices, envelopes, LFOs, V/Oct and a CV recorder. Its 1.77" colour screen, four encoders and twelve buttons edit tracks, devices, the mixer and the project; its eight CV/AUDIO outputs (+/-10 V, outputs 7 and 8 the internal mixer's stereo out by default) and eight gates, six CV inputs, clock and reset in and out, MIDI TRS in and out and a USB host connect it. It works with the ARK Control, which it powers.
