This video, via Audio Damage, is a brief demonstration of their recently announced ADM06 Sequencer 1 Eurorack format step sequencer. The sneak preview starts with a blank pattern, and ends with a random repeating “Berlin School” style pattern.
Here’s what they have to say about the technical details:
Patch is WMD PDO to DSI Curtis Filter to WMD Multimode VCA to Audio Damage DubJr to Circuit Abby Mixer. Amp envelope courtesy from Doepfer quad ADSR. All modulation coming from Sequencer 1.
(Note, since it will be asked: the digital noise in the patch, which is apparent if you listen in headphones, is due to fact that this is a programming rig, and is connected by un-isolated USB to a computer. The noise comes from the embedded programmer. I forgot to disconnect it before recording this. No big deal.
Official pricing and release date are to be announced, but pricing is expected to be about US $600.
I like your hardware but Please make more on your VST plugins…
Indeed, their vst is one of the best out there
Big, ugly and pricey…
As the developer, would it be bad for me to say “like your mom?”
Lol. You have to replace pricey with cheap for that to work.
Hi Chris,
Since you are here, I have a bunch of questions about your hardware:
Is it a 16-bit resolution DAC? Do you compensate for non-lineariaties of the DAC? Is there a procedure for calibrating the DAC? What is the level of the gate output? Can you chain the sequencers? (if yes how much?)
Thanks!
The DAC is 14-bit, which is (way) more than enough for < 1 cent accuracy over 5 octaves. The DAC we've chosen for this unit doesn't require compensation, as it is very highly-specced. See also: calibration. (Although, we have a _huge_ feature for the v1.1 software that will render that entire conversation moot.)
The gates run at +5 (or -5 if inverted) volts.
Regarding chaining, I use a pair chained all the time (you can see the right-hand one in that video above) with three other brand sequencers hanging off the slave unit's clock. I only have two units here, so I can't test beyond that until the retail units get here. You can always chain them star from a buffered mult instead of in series if you're concerned about latency. I would be comfortable saying with a star of four, you could comfortably run 16 units from a single source without detectable latency.
