An eight-step CV and gate sequencer in 20 HP, laid out in a circle: a knob and a button for each step round the TRANSPORT button and its three red knobs, RATE, RESET (the number of steps) and RANGE. Built in: a clock from 12 to 2400 BPM or an external one divided or multiplied, a quantizer with eight scales, a slew limiter, two randomisation circuits, a gate or trigger pattern of up to eight micro-steps for each step, custom sequences of up to 256 steps and eight presets.

Key features

• Eight steps, each with its CV knob and its on/off button lighting the step
• RATE: internal clock 12 to 2400 BPM, or division and multiplication of EXT CLOCK
• RESET sets the sequence length (1 to 8 steps); RANGE the CV OUT span in 1 V steps (0 to 8 V or ±5 V)
• RAND PLAY mutates the step order, PROBABILITY inverts step settings at random, SLEW sets the glide
• STEP and PATT modes: per-step patterns of gates and triggers, quantizer scales, presets, custom sequences (SHIFT)
• TRANSPORT, RESET and DIRECTION inputs; GATE OUT and CV OUT; Ostankino II expander and chaining of two units
