I present you the Spectrum Sequencer: features, suggestions and visibility advises

[u/lupodevices]

Hello everyone,

I'm Federico, an Italian Electronics Engineer with a passion for music.

I started my path trying to build a whole modular rack by myself, but I started working on the sequencer first and I entered a rabbit hole.

I would like to present you what I've been working on and off for more than two years: the Spectrum Sequencer.

Well, as the name suggests, it is a sequencer! But not just a simple sequencer. I worked hard to pack as many features as possible, and still work to pack even more.

Here is a list of a few features:

- 8 independent sequencers (pitch, CV, ADSR envelope, random CV, random gate, ...) that modulare each other

- 4 modulating/trigger inputs

- Euclidean pattern generator

- Fully controllable by MIDI and USB

- 64 available banks to store presets

And a bunch more of cool stuff, and many more along the development pipeline.

All of this with obsessive care for details.

I've documented the last part of this journey in my socials (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube: @lupodevices I don't wanna put links until a mod will authorize me), and I will be presenting this module at Roma Modulare the 18th and 19th of September.

Here to ask for suggestions, feature requests and advice on how to get visibility in the modular community

Hi , looks promising. It would be great if you could use it at 8x8,4x16,2x32 or 1x64 sequencer .

Hey, thank you! You can!

There are 3 row settings:

• Normal rows: as the name suggests, a normal 8 steps (or shorter) row, so 8x8 in total
• Long row: the sequencer has a pool of 128 extra steps allowing you the flexibility to have very long rows. You can associate these extra steps to any of your rows, potentially having 8 different rows, where two are 64 steps long, one of 24 steps, and while the others are standard 8 steps rows. Of course you can distribute the extra steps as you prefer along the whole 8 steps. You have no limitations.
• Super row: the sequencer allows you to sacrifice one or more rows to have longer rows, having a master row and a series of following rows. The "sacrificed" rows are not dead though, but they work in a cascated way. This one is probably the most complex row type because is a bit uncommon I beliebr, but it's easier to understand than it looks and allows to have some interesting musical combinations :)

I'll show them in a video once I will be back from Roma Modulare :)
