Synthetic Sound Labs has introduced The Matrix – Model 2660, a 12 HP Euro format version of its previously-released The Matrix MU module.

The Matrix is a deterministic algorithmic sequencer, inspired by the rare Triadex Muse, which was developed by Edward Fredkin and Marvin Minsky around 1969.

The Matrix generates complex sequences, based on your Tempo, Pitch, Scale, Interval and Theme choices. It outputs both gate/CV signals to control other gear, and an audio signal.

Features:

• CV OUT covers about 2 octaves depending on scale setting with 1V/OCT
• Sequences are created using the THEME controls. Uses a modified LFSR algorithm to generate patterns.
• Gate REST interrupts the GATE output at certain pitch intervals, depending on scale settings
•  Inputs:
  • CLOCK IN (External clock input)
    RESET IN (Starts sequencer back at step 1)
• Outputs:
  • GATE OUT (Sends pulse when sequencer changes state. Follows width of external clock, or 50% width for internal clock)
    CV OUT (About 1V/OCT. Not affected by internal oscillator Pitch control)
    AUDIO OUT (50% duty cycle internal oscillator. About 5 octave range)

Here’s an in-depth demo video, using the original MU version of the module:
