^^ They are pretty easy and cool, tho I don’t use it a lot for some reason. I like the matrix
mode.
Assigning notes can be a little tedious…
never got into the cv out much either.

I just figured it’s not that much more expensive than a Bloom v2, much more powerful - lots of different sequencer modes - and takes up zero hp. All wins in my book.
The manual says it offers step sequencing and can be recorded from a controller keyboard so will probably use that mode a lot.

Unfortunately turns out I’m not getting it now (despite paying for it) as the seller is on holiday for 2 weeks. Oh well, will keep an eye out for a similarly priced one.

My shitty vision would probably necessitate the white pad ones tbh.

I apologize if I already posted this. But earlier this year I got some $119 USD headphones for about $20 USD:
Audio-Technica ATH-M30 from eBay.
They have good imaging and aren't too harsh in the mids and highs. The bass is modest, but okay. They have become helpful for my mixing, although they aren't quite for mastering or whatnot--you need some kind of actual open air speakers. But I am really happy with these. If you find any for cheap, they aren't bad, and they sound much better to my ears than the M20s.

The refunded sequencer cash was burning a hole in my pocket. Now bought Beads to go in my eurorack FX rack.
Looking at it now it’s a very delay, verb and granular heavy FX unit.

I probably won’t be getting anything else this year because I haven’t played with what I put together in my euro rack much yet. I just got back to the US and I want to go on another trip. But the land of modules is deep and I haven’t fathomed its depths.

I went to Perfect Circuit today to see if I could get my hands on a MN Jumbler but they were out of stock (no problem, I ordered one from Analog Haven). Instead, something with banana jacks followed me home. I'll post some pictures when I get home.

This is a programmer/sequencer panel from Prism Circuits called Hymenium. It's like the Serge paperface programmer with stage address inputs and buttons. You can step through the stages with the up/down inputs or by using the sequencer to trigger individual stages. It also has a sequential switch. It looks simple but it can do pretty complex stuff and it's very playable.

A short clip i recorded before bed last night. I freaking love stage addressable sequencers!
One thing I don't demonstrate here, is that if two stages are activated at the same time, they are summed together. This makes it really fun to play the stage select buttons while a sequence is running.

This sounds more organic than what it is. Is that the shift register kicking in for rhythmic shift?justin3am wrote: Wed May 21, 2025 5:05 pm A short clip i recorded before bed last night. I freaking love stage addressable sequencers!

No shift register action in this one but that's sure to be a great source of triggers.
Just two clocks, in sync but out of phase with each other. One advances the trigger sequencer and the other advances the forward/up input on the programmer.
Each step of the trigger sequencer can be connected to any stage of the programmer, so I can step through the stages out of order and even repeat the same stage by connecting two or more trigger outs to the same stage.
Since the other clock is out of phase with the main clock, it effectively doubles the tempo and causes the programmer to move one stage to the right between each step of the trigger sequencer. Since the second clock is a little less than 180° away from the the main clock, there is a little bit of swing.
I have two rows from the programmer connected to the sequential switch, that gives me a 16 step sequence. That sequence is controlling the FM amount between oscillators 1 and 2, and the envelop length. The remaining row controls the oscillator pitch.
With more asynchronous trigger sources, I can get into some really interesting patterns. I can't wait to get it set up with the larger system in my studio!
