This video takes a look at how to create a sequence from scratch, using the Analogue Solutions Oberkorn MK3 step sequencer. In this video, a melodic bass sequence is created from scratch, using two rows of CV on the Oberkorn: CVA (pitch) and CVB (filter control). At the end of the video, the section created live… Read More How to Create an Analogue Sequence From Scratch

The Neurohedron is a unique music instrument and modal software controller, conceived of as a nonlinear sequencer. The simplest traditional sequencers may employ eight steps that return to the first step after reaching the last step; in contrast, the Neurohedron is a three dimensional sequencer with twelve nodes arranged as a dodecahedron. With this structure,… Read More Neurohedron Sequencer – The D12 Music Sequencer
