uSequencer!!

Is anyone else excited about the prospects of a MOTM uSequencer?! I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone jump on this. Can you tell us about it Paul? George

I am excited about it. :) In fact, I guessed it when he said 600 series. I am very much looking forward to the discussion we will no doubt have about features and such. :) Larry

d00d, yr disign suXors! HAR! Er, no, wait, wrong list, sorry everyone. Mea cupla. :) I am definately excited. I'm not certain what use it will have for me personally right now, but it is DEFINATELY very interesting. I have no doubt that whatever it works out to be, I will suddenly find it indispesable. :) --PBr

I've read a number of 'excitement' posts but do not recall any posts from Paul about the features, ... of a motm sequencer, micro or otherwise. There are a number of analog(based) sequencers available (from the basic synthesizers.com Q119 to the (in progress) very featured Johnson/Patchell Mikado), so before I even consider getting 'excited' I'd like to read about features, ... of a motm sequencer. If it is featured with "real-time" dynamic access (for my fingers and for cv), I'll probably be interested. But if it is fairly 'static', then I won't be interested. [Not singling out Mike, just happened to be the last 'excitement' post I've seen]. Jeff

There hasn't been much about it "officially", but behind the scenes there has been 2 months of HW and SW work. Full details will come later (with all the other 500 series) on Dec. 1st (full web pages, demos, ordering, etc). Here is a 'teaser': a) It's a digital sequencer with both CV in and CV out. The uP is blazing fast, 5 MIPs (million instructions/second). FLASH memory is used to store setups and sequencer data (no batteries). b) the panel does not look like a traditional sequencer. The trade off was functions versus $400 worth of pots, LEDs and switches in a big panel. The MOTM-600 is 3U wide. c) you can chain multiple MOTM-600s together via small ribbon cables at the rear. d) it will take getting use to the 'fingering' to use it live. Just like a flute has different fingering than a sax, the MOTM-600's panel has a different 'fingering' to say a Moog 960. But it has about 65 MORE features than a Moog 960 :) e) It is not a kit. It wll be fully assembled. The *bugetary* price is $399. The *maximum* price will be $499. I don't think I can get down below $359 due to parts cost. I want the HW and SW to progress until mid-Nov until I start talking specifics, because certain desires now in the spec (the SW/functional spec runs over 30 pages long) may be undoable do to time/code space/timimg issues. Sequencer 'traditionalists' may not warm up to the interface. But before you make your mind up, wait for the details to emerge and I think you'll see the power lurking behind the panel. Paul S.

I was just excited that there will be a sequencer in the MOTM line. :) Larry --- Jeffrey Pontius <jpont@...> wrote:

Question... Will there be any MIDI input - I'm thinking specifically of using a knob-box ( Peavey 1600x ) as a real-time controller... Count me in for a couple anyway - sounds fantastic!

Thanks for the info on this Paul. As usual, sounds interesting. This is called the micro-sequencer - hmm... so does that mean that a) someday there will be a macro-sequencer, and b) it will be more "traditional", i.e. pots, switches & leds? (MOAS anyone??) <grin> George
