MIDI sequencer

Developer Dan Nigrin has announced that his software Klee Sequencer is now available. The app, available for Mac and Windows, is a software version of the Klee step sequencer.

Features:

• MIDI output to any hardware or software synths
• Internal or MIDI clock control
• 10 preset slots for instant recall of parameters
• Presets can be saved to and loaded from disk
• Built-in clock divide capability
• Synchronous load – loading of pattern happens on clock pulses, and not in between
• Load on Play feature to allow for loading of pattern each time clock started
• MIDI-controllable baseline note
• Custom definable note range allows for alternative scales

Klee Sequencer retails for $40. 15% of the net proceeds go to support electro-music.com. A demo version is available.

WOK has announced ClockWOrK, a MIDI step sequencer plug-in for Windows that promises to let you create hypnotic sequences like Klaus Schulze or Tangerine Dream.

Here’s an audio demo:

This video demonstrates ducino2’s BBox Drum Generator – an Arduino-based MIDI sequencer housed in a banana box:

The BBox Drum Generator is an Arduino-based Midi sequencer mounted inside a Banana Box. The BBox contains a few preset drumbeats. These drumbeats form the basis for a drum variation algorithm. The amount of introduced variations is controlled by the blue rotary knob.

The two top buttons navigate through the functions of the BBox. The two lower buttons change the value of the function.

The BBox only generates midi messages, the sound is generated by a Roland Juno-D.

This video demos Lennon Luks‘ sick matrix-style MIDI sequencer, his senior design project for earning his BS at Western Carolina University.

Luks summarizes the project like this:

This project was to design and construct a hardware MIDI control device that will aid an electronic musician in the performance of electronic music. The main intention was to give the user as much versatility as possible without the need of a helper application running on a computer, so the device can be used to control audio on any device that accepts MIDI data, whether it is a computer or not.

The main feature of this device is an 8×8 grid composed of 64 LED-lit buttons, which can be used as a step sequencer. Another feature of the device is 8 knobs, one to control the tempo of the sequencer, and 7 to control various audio parameters via MIDI.

The device also has an LCD for displaying various settings, the current tempo, and status of the sequencer. Five buttons are used for navigation through the menus on the LCD and for changing settings. Three other buttons are used to control the sequencer. The design is centered around the ATMEGA644 microcontroller and the firmware is written in C. The avr-gcc toolchain was used for the software development.

Luks’ matrix sequencer shares a lot with other designs, such as the monome or the APC40 – but Luks’ sequencer is designed to interface directly with instruments via MIDI, independent of a computer.
