This compact sequencer from Pittsburgh Modular works with eurorack and regular MIDI gear and will likely suit anyone looking for hands-on control of sequencing. Here's a first look.
Modular hardware specialists Pittsburgh Modular have brought their latest creation with them to show off at Superbooth 2018 - the Electronic Sequence Designer 128. Available both as a standalone or rack mounted unit, it has MIDI in and out as well as 4 channels of gate and CV so it works both with CV and MIDI-triggered gear. It's at home both in a Eurorack setup and hooked up to a regular synth or workstation.
Sonicstate chatted to the guys about the new sequencer.
