Four Bricks Rook

A 16 HP four-track trigger sequencer (discontinued): play and record triggers on its four pads, unquantized or quantized to the clock, read patterns and fills from a memory of 128 tables of 32 steps, and let a randomizer add fills, as a drummer would towards the end of a bar.

Key features

• Four pad modes: Play (play and record), Pattern (read a table), Fill (play a table while held) and Mute
• LENGTH: 1 to 32 steps; SHIFT: the segment of a longer sequence played, both with bipolar CV inputs
• TABLE: one of 8 tables in the pointed slot, with its CV input; 16 slots of 8 tables, musicians' beats and utility tables
• Two buffers, A and B, like two sides of a tape; quantize and erase per track
• Randomizer for fills, its amount global or per track; trigger length from 4 ms to a clock period, global or per track
• FILL ALL gate input; its state stored when REC is held 5 seconds
