ANALOGUE SOLUTIONS
GENERATOR: 16 STEP CV/GATE SEQUENCER
KEY FEATURES
Analogue Sequencer: Three channels of 16 steps, each providing true analogue CV outputs. These run in parallel. Total pattern length can be changed, or the pattern reset.
Gate Outs: Gate output, with an inverted ‘flipped’ output (positive voltage, but the ‘state’ is inverted. So this output does the opposite of the main Gate output).
Voltage Generator: Six ‘note’ interval voltage generator keyboard. Use to transpose the sequence, reset, start and other things too! Can be clocked by the End Pulse creating a mini-sequence that changes once per bar. Can be used independently as a mini keyboard!
Voltage Controlled Internal Clock: The internal clock is analogue using an analogue LFO. Speed can be changed using CV. The sequencer can also be clocked using a MIDI note or even using an external clock signal from a modular.
Versatile Control: Many controls, switches, and jacks to allow you to alter the way the sequencer steps or behaves.
Intuitive Real Time Gate Control: Or, IReTiGaC (patent pending). Alter the rhythm in real time using just 4 rotary knobs.
Jack Sockets: So many jacks sockets!
Compact: Slim form factor.
Generator - A great tool for inspiration!
OVERVIEW
Generator is a highly versatile multi channel analogue step sequencer. It provides a fun and intuitive, yet powerful way to create rhythms and melodies with your modular and CV synths.
Generator is a very compact and high quality step sequencer. It’s USP is that it is a playable sequencer. You don’t just set up a sequence and leave it looping. The UI is designed in such a way as to make it easy, fun and intuitive to alter the rhythm and to get alternative sequences playing using the real time touch pads.
Generator has plenty of scope for re-patching the signals using CV leads, or via the pre-configured switches.
Generator is super easy to hook up to your analogue synthesizers, Eurorack, and other analogue gear.
Sync to DAW is very easy and solid, using MIDI note 60. Play that note and the sequencer will step.
No menus of multi-button pressed. WYSIWYG front panel control.
Generator can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be
We have given this sequencer a large and diverse number of controls, that along side the patch sockets, will give even the best and experienced electronic musician endless possibilities.
We have presented the controls in a user friendly and familiar sequencer layout that, together with this manual and other resources, enable even the new guy to get great patterns quickly.
No compromise has been made with the construction of Generator. Cheaper parts have not been used!

GENERATOR DEMO
What does GENERATOR do?
MIDI (DAW Use) or CV & Gate.
This unit is is for use with analogue gear that has CV and Gate inputs - that is, vintage synths, modern analogues, and eurorack.
It does not feature a MIDI Out. It is not a MIDI sequencer. It is not a DAW control surface.
But! It does have a MIDI In. This is to allow sync, start, stop, reset, etc control signals to be sent from a MIDI sequencer.
Beat.
Generator uses 4 controls to alter the rhythm of beats for the pattern playing. They set which of the 16 steps of the sequence will produce gates. There is a gate pattern output, and an inverted ‘flipped’ copy.
Slowly rotating each control will add more beats in specific places increasing the intensity of the rhythm. It’s easier just to see what happens than try and explain it! But it’s very intuitive and effective.
Voltage Generator.
This is a special kind of transposer / CV generator.
There are 6 slots. Each one is activated using its own gold plated pressure plate.
The corresponding knob above is used to set the control voltage output of the VG and the range is approx 0-5V.
You can send the output straight to and mixed with the step CV outputs A, B, C
Audio Waveform Generator.
If the sequencer is clocked at high audio frequencies, then you can use the Gate or CV outputs as audio signals.
Use audio from a VCO module, and patch this into the external clock input of Generator. Set the Sync switch to External and hit Start.
You can create higher pitches by shortening the sequence loop length. Play around with the CV level pots to ‘draw’ your waveform. Or, if you are using Gates as your audio output, turn different gates on or off to also alter the sound.
