Analogue-sequencer

Duncan and friends


I´ll get rid of the MAQ, I did several records with it, but the P3 has overpassed it.

I just remember why I didn´t sell it!  It has the feauture to choose between 1 to 5 octaves range , and it transposes up and diminish automatically everytime you turn the dial. Great to get some cool unexpected lines when you change per example from 5 to 1 etc...

One question Duncan, the Maq seems to have a not straight,kind of 909 nice shuffle on it , or that´s the way it sounds to me or it´s terrible sync with the 909 what makes me feel that " cool" thing?

I once asked Colin to introduce that on the P3 , let´s see what he thinks about it,( I remember he said it will take a lot of effort due to the way it was done or something like that)

What about adding it to the nex machine?

Thanks!
