Behringer has officially introduced the 1601 Sequencer, an unofficial copy of the ARP 1601 sequencer from the 1970s, in Eurorack format.

The module provides a 16-step sequence that can also be divided into two independent 8-step patterns, along with three gate buses and a range of control-voltage inputs and outputs.

Features:

• Single 16-step or double 8-step sequences
• 3 separate gate buses with individual step switches
• Quantized 2-octave pitch range for notes
• Free 10-octave CV pitch range for non-pitched effects – great for controlling filter cutoff or PWM
• Skip and Reset buttons with CV in for full control of your sequences
• Step switches can be used in Skip or Reset mode for creative performances
• Clock FM control and CV input for controlling tempo
• Clock Pulse Width control and CV input for adjusting the gate length – from staccato to legato
• Clocked Gate 1 out for creating accents using the Gate Bus 1 switches
• CV input for transposing sequences using a keyboard or other controllers
• Position 1 CV out for triggering events, like automatically stopping the sequence when looping back
• Separate Quantize inputs for using the quantizer on external CV signals
• Additional 4-multiples for convenient patching
• Complete Eurorack solution – main module can be transferred to a standard Eurorack case
• 42 controls give you direct and real-time access to all important parameters
• MIDI and USB support with MIDI channel and MIDI transport controls
