Teenage Engineering OP-XY Portable Synthesizer / Sampler / Sequencer

Sat, 16 Nov 2024 16:33:48 +0000

A no-compromise, dual-cpu boosted and fully rebuilt sequencer, sampler, and performance instrument, based on the much-loved workflow of the OP–Z. Now including built-in cv, effect sends, and a best-in-class DAC. With 8 individual instrument tracks and 8 auxiliary tracks for controlling any external synthesizer, modular or otherwise, and adding effects. We dare to say it’s probably the most complete, portable sequencer ever built. It’s here. It’s real. It’s black. And it’s got so much more than you’ve wished for.

Ultra fast sequencing workflow. Punch-in FX lets you add quick, rapid-firing, unique, live variations and adding individual step components creates an extra dimension and deep rhythmic patterns. Randomize note timing, velocity and pitch, or use live automation to alter filters. use brain to create chord progressions, generating tracks that reinvent themselves.

Run every track, independently, at different speeds and lengths to form powerful polyrhythms. Create new sequences every time with step components, variations that can be added to any step on the sequencer, controlling everything from altering pitch to bending, skipping or even multiplying steps.

The 2 Vrms main output drives any sound system, real loud. Keep everything locked in sync and sequenced with the multi-out and take control with midi-in. Process and sample external audio with the audio-in. control, record and charge with the audio/midi host over usb-c, plus a complete wireless experience with midi over bluetooth.

Compose your album, head off to the gig, plug and play immediately, then keep everything locked-in with all the i/o you could ask for. 16-hour, battery-powered freedom lets you perform for hours on-end. create, produce and perform anywhere.

Neutral Labs Scrooge Desktop Sequenced Malfunction Generator

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 14:39:55 +0000

Scrooge is a sequenced malfunction generator, available as a 42 HP Eurorack module or semi-modular desktop synth. While you can convince it to deliver boomy kick drum sounds, clicky hi-hats or metallic snares, it would much rather be making glitchy artifacts, hollow crackles and horribly distorted growls. It contains a sophisticated and performance-oriented step sequencer with parameter locking and the possibility to control all steps across multiple tracks at once. Its 5 distinct and fully analog voices are made up of special circuits that work without dedicated power supplies, scrounging power from the sequencer control signals instead, which gives them an organic and unstable quality. As a bonus, it means you won’t have to power the unit itself if you sequence it from external gear.

Features

5 distinct analog voices
device can work passively without a power supply if sequenced from external gear
each voice can be routed to either of 2 main outputs (headphone compatible)
individual voice outputs
individual voice CV inputs that respond well to audio signals
2 modulation tracks, individually routable to voices
2 modulation CV inputs
onboard step sequencer
can sequence external gear
sync output
sync and reset inputs
MIDI input (TRS type A)

Note: For sustainability reasons, the desktop version does not come with a USB power supply, just a USB-A to USB-C cable. You will need a 5V supply, such as a phone charger, power bank or laptop. The desktop version has a Eurorack power header and can be placed into a Eurorack. The desktop case however has 5V USB power and no Eurorack rails, you cannot use it as a 42 HP rack without modifications.

Teenage Engineering EP-1320 Medieval Desktop Sequencer and Sampler

Tue, 06 Aug 2024 15:00:15 +0000

The Metropolix Solo is a unique and powerful desktop multitrack MIDI and CV musical sequencer. With an abundance of hands-on, tactile controls and a wealth of internal and external modulation possibilities, you can quickly and easily create infectious sequences.

Even the simplest melody can be brought to life with seemingly endless options to create variations or real-time manipulations. In the studio or in a live performance, the Metropolix is sure to become a staple source of fresh ideas and killer riffs in your creative process.

CV and MIDI Sequencing on your desktop
We’ve set Metropolix free from the rack, in a small desktop case, allowing you to interface with your DAW or other hardware music machines without needing a full eurorack system.

Going Solo, but not alone
The Metropolix Solo Kit is available for current eurorack Metropolix owners that want to set Metropolix free to sit next to their modular systems.

Connections
Metropolix Solo has all the connections you need for USB MIDI, Serial MIDI (TRS or DIN with Adaptors) and CV/GATE for modular systems. Use CV/Gate, TRS and USB MIDI all at the same time.

Top Panel (CV/Gate)

A/B Assignable CV Outputs
X/Y/Z CV Modulation Inputs
CLK Sync and Reset Input
CLK Sync Output
Track 1 and 2 Pitch and Gate

Rear Panel (MIDI/Power)

MIDI TRS: In / Out / Thru
MIDI USB-C
2.1mm DC for Power Supply

Let’s talk about Metropolix

Performance Controls
Metropolix is an interactive sequencer optimized for live performance, jamming, and improvisation — with configurable, hands-on control of all the most essential performance parameters. Sequences transform and mutate with just the twist of a knob; a flick of a switch; a nudge of a slider; or an injection of CV. With Metropolix, your music is as dynamic and evolving as your imagination.

Two Tracks, Interconnected
Two tracks (TRK 1 and TRK 2) are variants of a main pitch/gate sequencer, which is programmed via the PITCH sliders, PULSE COUNT and GATE TYPE switches. Each track interprets the main sequence in a variety of ways — creating complementary variations that enable you to generate counterpoint, polyrhythms, and all manner of sonic movement (both subtle and extreme).

Each of these tracks has its own playback ORDER, sequence LENgth, clock DIVision, SWING amount, SLIDE time, and track GATE lengths. Other track-based sequence variables are accessible from the TRACK MENU, and include Pitch Slider inversion; sequence note range; track transposition; and more. In addition, both tracks have multiple lanes of per-stage playback parameters, including: GATE override; PITCH override; RATCHet count; PROBability of playback; ACCUMulating transposition, and a dedicated CV/CC lane. Each stage also has a SKIP feature, and a pitch SLIDE option.

The Accumulator
Automate pitch movements on a per-track or per-stage basis. Use various trigger types and increments to control variation on your tracks.

Eight Modulation Lanes
Eight Separate modulation lanes are accessed via the MOD button. Each MOD lane has 8-stages of modulation values and its own playback ORDER, LENgth, and clock DIVision; and each lane is routable to one of Metropolix’ two assignable outputs, MIDI CC, and dozens of internal destinations, allowing for sophisticated and powerful self-modulation.

Three AUX Inputs and Two CTRL Knobs
A trio of AUX inputs allows for external modulation of user-assignable sequencer parameters for even greater variation, while two assignable CTRL knobs give you direct access to the parameters you want to adjust most frequently during a performance. With dedicated Pitch/Gate outputs for both Track 1 and Track 2; two totally user-assignable outputs (A and B); and internal MOD routing, Metropolix features a wealth of patching opportunities.

100 User Defined Scales
Design and modulate between your own custom scales and root note.

Modulate BPM
Use the CTRL Knobs, AUX Inputs, or Mod Lanes to modulate the BPM of your track and the clock outputs of the Metropolix.

Loopy — Performance Looping
Metropolix also features a Loopy mode, allowing you to instantly play back short sub-sequences, or even “play” the stage buttons directly (like a ‘keyboard’).

64 Total Recall Presets & Preset Chaining
Metropolix stores up to 64 preset configurations (in 8 banks of 8 presets), and all live settings are stored on the module, ensuring that your Metropolix will always power up exactly as you left it — even if you haven’t saved them to a preset. By default presets can change all the structural (menu-based) elements of your sequencer without overwriting the front panel controls, but full recall is also available.

Chain Presets to go hands free while you twiddle other knobs on your synth.

Specifications

Width Module Only: 34HP
Height: 66mm (from rubber foot to top of knobs)
Width: 175mm
Depth: 140mm (front to rear jacks)
Power: 15V DC/0.4 A (minimum), center-pin-positive

Play All Day PlayFader 2-Channel CV & MIDI Portable Sequencer (Black)

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 16:15:12 +0000

PlayFader is a versatile two-channel CV, Gate and MIDI sequencer and looper that loves to make friends with modular synths, vintage synths, any synth or sampler with MIDI, guitar pedals, and anything else with CV and expression inputs. It can even be a great controller and sequencer for your DAW and computer-based workflow.

Each channel features CV and Gate outputs that are controlled by its Fader and Play button. Move the Fader to change the CV level, press the Play button to output a variable-width gate or trigger.

PlayFader also outputs two channels of MIDI – select from notes, chords, CCs and many more output options. MIDI mirrors the analogue outputs so you can control anything with a MIDI input while also controlling your analogue CV synths, pedals etc. This gives you control of four voices! Or more, depending on your patching imagination.

PlayFader runs either to its own internal clock with full transport controls and tap tempo, or loves making friends with external clocks. Sync can be by CV or MIDI, in or out.

The LOOP button allows you to capture your playing in a buffer that repeats after any number of steps from 1 to 64. You can even set your own User Loop Length live. Each channel has two recording buffers (Loop A and B) which you can jump, swap and copy between. Although the Loop buffer is always synced to the clock, you can record un-quantised gates, or you can switch on synced ratchets with the TIME button. Now your gates/notes repeat at the division rate you set for as long as you hold a PLAY button down. Very groovy. You can change ratchet divisions on the fly via the Faders while holding that PLAY button down and record the results into the Loop buffer. You can also punch-in recording or clear, change loop lengths and reset the buffers independently per channel to keep playing endlessly with your loops.

Select from your own fully customisable user scales or smooth voltage ranges of 2, 3, 5 & 8v in addition to live transposition.

You can use LATCH to override the CV you recorded into the buffer and output a CV value based on the current live Fader position, all while the recorded gate pattern keeps going. You can play with the Fader CV Latched on, sending out whatever note/value you want from the Fader and then simply drop back into your previously recorded pattern by switching LATCH off. A quick double-tap of LATCH will unlatch both channels at the same time for some seriously fun drops. This is even more creative when you combine it with the dual Loop buffers in each channel.

FUN FX modes

Roll – think of Slip Mode on most major DJ software, punch in a loop while the playhead keeps on moving, so you drop right back where you would have been.
Slide – allows you to set a loop within your loop, adjusting the size and location on the fly, and the pattern will pick up where you left off when you release the FUN key, like SLIP mode on Pioneer CDJs.
Sustain/Trigger – fun with gate lengths and re-triggering, great for adding dynamics to patterns.
Bend – Pitch bend, obvs…
LFO – LFO modulation fun ( we have plans for an alternate firmware more LFO-based too!)
Random – As the name suggests, gradually adds randomisation to your pattern, with the two faders adjusting the randomisation parameters.
All FUN modes will be addressable by the built-in accelerometer in future firmware, which should be bonkers amounts of fun.

PlayFader has a protective lid – or PlayCase – that doubles as a stand and feels great in your hand if you want to hold it and play. When you’re travelling, all the controls are safely protected by the lid, held in place with a handy official Stonewall Merchandise wristband which supports LGBTQ+ equality around the world. The lid can then be flipped onto the back of the PlayFader when you’re ready, giving you some grip and a bit more height, making it perfect to play all day!

Specifications:

2 x 60mm-Throw Bourns Faders and Unique Flat Keycap Buttons with Cherry MX Switches.
2 x 3.5mm CV Outputs – Adjustable from 0-8v, Continuous or Pitch Quantised. Requires Mono Patch Cable.
2 x 3.5mm Gate Outputs – Adjustable from 3ms Trigger to 95% Duty Cycle. Requires Mono Patch Cable.
1 x 3.5mm Switchable Comms Input & Output – Select between Analog Clock Pulse (Mono Cable) or MIDI Control & Transport (TRS MIDI).
