Sequencer construction set.

Start with one, grow for more fun.

The Sequencer Construction Set (SCS) is a series of sequencing modules that can be combined to form more complicated sequencing systems. While they can operate independently, they really shine when connected to the Rain City SYNC BUS to provide a common transport across all connected modules.

The Concept

Breaking sequencing down, then building it up.

Imagine a sequencer as a network of voltage and trigger elements that can be synchronized in different ways. 32-steps? That's 4x8 voltage and 4x8 trigger steps. That's where the Sequencer Construction Set begins. The SCS-V is your voltage element, and the SCS-T is your trigger element. With a common clock, each of these modules are locked together with the same transport. This allows you to chain multiple units together to make more complex sequencers. Add in the SCS-S to switch between sequencing elements, and you can have a fully featured 32-step sequencer in just 58HP.

But this is no ordinary 32-step sequencer. It can be broken down into two 16-step sequencers, or four 8-step sequencers, or a 32-step voltage sequencer and two 16-step trigger sequencers, or however you want to connect the modules together. Use the trigger sequencer to advance the voltages on the voltage sequencers, or to slice audio going through the SCS-S. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

The Modules

SCS-C Thumbnail Picture
SCS-C

Clock buffer. Takes in either RC24 or separate clock/run signals and passes them to the next device in the SCS chain.

SCS-V

8-step voltage sequencer. Number of steps and common step length control. Can be bus clocked or externally clocked.

SCS-T

16-step trigger sequencer. Number of steps and common step length control. Can be bus clocked or externally clocked. Ratcheting function can provide up to 8x the trigger pulse length.

SCS-S

Dual sequential switch. Selectable from 2:1 to 4:1. Primarily used to cascade multiple SCS-V and SCS-T sequencers, but designed to handle any signal from +/-10Vpp, including audio.

The Suite

Starter suite for supercharged sequencing.

A starter suite is available consisting of 1xSCS-C, 2xSCS-V, 1xSCS-T and 1xSCS-S. This provides a 16-step sequencer base for you to create from.
