Does anybody know what that green hardware sequencer is that Amos uses in the 10th demo video for the Minitaur?
10th? Do you have a link? One really good video (with a sequencer) is in front of a q960 but I don’t think Amos did it.
It’s this one, the Orb: http://www.future-retro.com/orbuvoverview.html
(by the way, I’m an idiot… I was thinking Sub Phatty even though this is the Taurus sub-forum)
Big Thumbs up to Future Retro ~ I just picked up the Revolution https://www.future-retro.com/revolutionoverview.html thanks to the advice from another Moog Music forum member (for the same price as an ORB!) and i love it.
It has the exact same sequencer as the ORB ~and a built-in synth as well. Discontinued due to the unavailability of DSP chip parts, it may be a bit difficult to find, but totally recommend getting one if you can. MIDI and CV out /in plays well with ALL my other gear…
Nice. I’m new to sequencers. I’ve played with a DSI Mopho’s sequencer, and when I press a key on the keyboard the entire sequence shifts to that note as the first step and all other steps shift accordingly. Does the Orb sequencer work the same way?
It’s not the sequencer that works like this, it’s the synth.
When you press a key on the synth, you establish a bus voltage. The sequencer sends a voltage sequence (or mini notes that are converted to voltage) that is added to the bus voltage through a summing opamp. That’s the case for most Moogs. In the case of a synth that would have no bus voltage or summing op amp, that would not work.
Some sequencers have a transpose function. In that case, the voltage of the sequence is transposed directly at the source.
