Overview
The 192 Sequencer is one of the many modules from the Soundtronics
modular analogue synth –the M²Synth. While most modules require very little
introduction, the 192 Sequencer has features that many users may be
unfamiliar with. This manual describes each of the individual features enabling
you to get the most out of the sequencer.
Truly analogue sequencers tend to be rather large modules with typically 8 to
16 steps with each step often having one or more potentiometers and
associated switches. Sequencers output a voltage for each step based on a
potentiometer setting and can be quite difficult to tune to a musical scale. This
can be aided by a device called a quantizer that takes the step output voltage
and constrains it to voltage levels that follow the semitones (notes) as found in
the western world musical scales. Whether a note sounds or not is selected
using a toggle switch that enable or disables a gate pulse. These sequencers are
fantastic at what they do but have limitations such as an inability to store
sequences for later retrieval.
The 192 Sequencer emulates the analogue sequencer and adds further
functions to make this a powerful alternative to the basic sequencer described
above.
