Analogue Solutions Intros AS500-SEQ 64-Step Analogue Sequencer

Analogue Solutions has introduced the AS500-SEQ, a 64-step analog sequencer.

The company says that the AS500-SEQ is special in several ways:

  • AS500 is formatted differently and operates differently than other step sequencers. Traditionally step sequencers run horizontally from left to right then loop back to step one. You can make the pattern shorter, but generally, that’s it. AS500 patterns run vertically downwards in columns. As the end of each column is played, the next to the right is played.
  • AS500 also has a unique Jump system. When a Jump switch is on, the rest of the column’s steps are bypassed and the sequencer jumps straight to the start of the next column

These two features in particular are familiar enough ways of working to be intuitive, but different enough to force you to work and think in a slightly different way. The end result is you will get sequences and patterns that you might not have created otherwise.

Features:

  • True analogue step sequencer using CV pots, not encoders
  • Analog CV circuits
  • 64 steps (series mode) or 2 x 32 steps (2 channel parallel mode)
  • 2 CV outputs with Range and Glide (Portamento)
  • 4 Gate outs (2 per channel)
  • Jump and Reset – activate from MIDI note, Push Button and external Gate
  • Fill-In and clock divide modes for variation
  • Compatible with Eurorack and most analogue synths with CV/Gate input
  • Voltage controlled clock
  • Many options for sequence control
  • Solid steel and aluminum construction
  • High-quality sealed potentiometers, sturdy switches.
  • Unique LED matrix-style teardrop raining LEDs

Pricing and Availability:

The Analogue Solutions AS500-SEQ is available now, priced at £999.

  1. Correct me if I’m wrong but the only way to mute a step is to send it to the other gate output, so you can’t have parallel 32 step sequences without the muted steps from one being active steps on the other? I feel like there should be a mute position for each step as well…

    That being said not too many other options when it comes to analog sequencers with 32 plus steps. Seems like a nice piece of kit.

    1. Just realized there is a separate set of XY outputs for both 1-32 and 33-64, so you can in fact “mute” steps on both by sending “mutes” to Y and using X for gate signal or vice versa. Nice!
