I was reading the recent thread about sequencing with a step sequencer (snow sequence) which took me to Youtube to see a couple of videos demonstrating a Q119. The knobs, patch cords and LEDs are pretty but the content didn't do much for holding my attention. I was reminded of how intrigued I was when first discovering the depths of programmable digital sequencers 25+ years ago. Here is a sequence done on an ESQ-1 with a Minimoog on bass and a cheap drum machine - probably an HR16. It still fascinates me every time I hear it. Dan and I used this as a sequence demo back when we were publishing MIDI sequences to lounge musicians (1986+), though none of them ever used this file at a gig I doubt. The head count is 8-7-7-7-8-7-7-7-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-8. You just don't come up with that by knob twiddling alone.

Sequencing
Re: Sequencing
I knew that a simple transposed sequence could only go so far musically (Snow Sequence). My problem is the lack of VCA's ENV Gens and other modules that would allow for more complex variations. I posted it just for the hell of it.

Re: Sequencing
I appreciate your post. I've been "out of the loop" for 20 years and have not been paying much attention to what is going on in the music making hardware / software biz. This was probably mostly inspired by getting burned out with the "new equipment addiction syndrome", but also by my involvement with real estate development, architecture, construction and woodworking. My connection to music interests has mostly been sustained by the occasional request to fix a piece of music electronics and by collecting and playing the most analog of instruments possible. No moving parts, no electrons and the pitch of each note is 100% variable by the simple placement of the fingers.EricK wrote: I posted it just for the hell of it.
I posted the response regarding the "Monster Morning Shuffle" sequence as I was curious to see if there would be any replies from readers on this board about innovative work done with the state of the hardware available today. I figured that if a couple of country boys from Oregon were doing something 25 years ago that fascinated me in such a timeless fashion, there must be somebody here that would post some inspiring examples of what is possible with current resources. So far - - guess not.
I invited myself over to Carl Solovox's studio to return a Memorymoog that I did some work on. I wanted to see what he's doing with the music making machinery. Carl teaches Ableton Live and other audio and video software products at Portland Music. He uses current technology in his show, including an Ipad with an amazing app for controlling Ableton and the connected virtual synths. Wow - overwhelming. http://solovox.com/
Carl won $5K in a Youtube / Intuit software rap contest a couple of years ago. I have to believe he should have won the $25K grand prize except the judge, Vanilla Ice, probably did not appreciate Carl making light of the art form. This audio track features a Wurlitzer 200A that I had just tuned and voiced. The video includes some interesting shots of the Portland, OR skyline. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b7KhvQSNcY
Re: Sequencing
I like wooden flutes, but i like them even more when mic'd and run through a delay with a healthy dose of ring modulation.

Larry,
This might not be quite as complicated as what you posted but you may not have seen this link that I posted.

Re: Sequencing
The content of this thread expanded to flutes after I posted a picture of my C. James alto recorder. I'll go with that for now. Every woodwind player should check out some Damian Draghici so we know just how limitless the possibilities are. Warning: no sequencers, synthesizers, or ring modulation going on here. Just absolute, seemingly impossible, sheer musical genius.
