Pure analog feeling
CVM module. Sequencer is an analogue Oberkorn. Playing two MIDI synths; Telemark (making the crazy sound) and Leipzig-r (warm synth sound). Oberkorn is also controlling velocity (in turn changing the filter cut-off). Joystick just adding a little transpose. Also here you can glimpse my white Red Square.

How to program the Neuron Sequencer in Axon
This tutorial, part one of six, provides a super quick overview of how to program the Neuron Sequencer in Axon, for those that want to jump right in and start clickin’
Axon is available at http://www.audiodamage.com
Neuron sequencer coupled with 7 individual FM synths
Audio Damage have released Axon which they describe as a Neuron sequencer coupled with 7 individual FM synths. Here’s what they have to say about it…
Axon is a strange creature, and we won’t tell you otherwise. Our goal was to come up with a new style of percussion sequencer/synth that wasn’t linear and x0xy, and we succeeded beyond our wildest expectations. The Neuron Sequencer in Axon is a fundamentally different way of thinking about rhythmic sequencing, and results in new patterns and styles that will bring your IDM, dance, and ambient tracks to another place.
Axon’s sequencer can either drive external synths and samplers or its own internal voices, seven of ’em, which are FM-based, but designed for quick and easy programming, and fine-tuned for percussive-type sounds. A full MIDI Learn complement allows external hardware control of both the sequencer and the internal voices, and an on-board stereo delay taken right from our fairly thick collection of delay algorithms extends the rhythmic possibilities right to the edge of what any sane person could possibly stand.
We’ll be the first to admit that Axon is an experimental tool, and isn’t for everybody, but if your interests lie in the abstract realm, and you want to take your rhythm and melody programming to strange new worlds, this might be just the thing.
NOTE: Axon for OS X requires 10.5.1 or greater, and is Intel only. Axon for Windows is both 32- and 64-bit.
Axon Features:
- All new Neuron Sequencer, a seven-node hexagonal counter sequencer.
- Seven FM percussion-tuned voices, also capable of melodic expression.
- Unique FM and Ring Mod busses for global FM and Ring Mod.
- Full MIDI output control (VST only) for driving external synths, drum machines, and samplers.
- Full internal mixer that also controls MIDI output velocity, with solo and muting.
- Internal stereo delay, taken from the best of Audio Damage’s delay algorithms, with low- and high-pass filters and a playable feedback control.
- Full MIDI Learn mode, for external hardware control of all Axon parameters.

Updated drum sequencer for Native Instruments Reaktor
Peter Dines has updated ParamDrum, a drum sequencer for Native Instruments Reaktor.
The impossible has happened: a ParamDrum update.
It’s got a brilliant skin courtesy of Jonathan Style, a new sound set based on samples from a very popular hardware synth (can you name it?), and at the moment only four new snaps. I could delay release and make more presets, but I want to get this out as soon as possible considering what a wait it’s been since the last update.
ParamDrum for Reaktor is available to purchase for $12.50 USD. The update is free for existing users. Note: this new skinned version only works in Reaktor 5.5 beta.

MFOS modulator running Nitzer Ebb
A DIY MFOS modular – the Modulator – playing Isn’t it funny how your body works by Nitzer Ebb. The 16-step sequencer’s gate outputs trigs two ADSRs for bass drum. Clock out is sent to slave 10-step sequencer and to two ARs controlling filter cutoff and VCA. 16 step seq CV out gets patched to both VCOs. The stereo auto panner is used during the last few seconds.
Multi-channel MIDI playback sequencer for the Apple iPad
Garren Langford has released MIDI Live (App Store link), a $39.99 multi-channel MIDI playback sequencer for the Apple iPad.
MIDI Live works with the Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer, so you can use it to control playback of hardware gear.
MIDI Live provides realtime modification of MIDI file parameters including:
- Song Tempo
- Key Change
- Instrument Assignment
- Song Cue
- Mixing Parameters
It is possible to alter these parameters while the song is playing or save for future playback. Playlists are also supported. Songs can be freely downloaded from the internet or loaded from your laptop.
Note: This application does not make sound on its own, it requires the Midi Mobilizer from Line 6.
MIDI Live is notable for the fact that it turns the iPad into a hardware MIDI playback controller – but we’re still looking for a multi-channel sequencer that works with the MIDI Mobilizer.

SCI Pro One bass line
Found this nice video with the sound of an SCI Pro One bass line being controlled by an Oberkorn analog sequencer (separate cv and filter). The Roland System 100m is also being controlled via the sequencer.
Ball-bearing controlled drum sequencer
This video demonstrates BeatBearing – a ball-bearing controlled drum sequencer.
via peterdbennett:
A quick demo of the BeatBearing that I put together for my PhD viva presentation. I captured a lot more footage than this, but had to cut it down for the presentation, I’ll try and get an edit that shows more of the novation launchpad as a pattern selector for the next video!
