Now, I'm trying something new that I haven't seen in other sequencers. It started out as a visual aesthetic that I wanted to add to the sequence direction but it turns out to be really useful when experimenting with a sequence. Plus it looks really cool!
- When the Direction selector is set to one of the first four directions the sequence is linear, meaning it will advance +/-1step (1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Or 16,15,14,13, etc). The next four directions from the Direction selector will be the same as the first four, as far as a direction goes, but it is no longer linear. It will jump steps but still follow the same path (1, 9, 2, 10, 3, 11, etc. Or 16, 8, 15, 7, 14, 6, etc).
- The Direction selector has the following choices
- Directions 1-4: Linear
- Fwd
- Bck
- Ping-Pong 1
- Ping-Pong 2
- Directions 5-8: Jump back and forth 9-steps
- (1, 9, 2, 10, 3, 11, 4, 12, 5, 13, 6, 14, 7, 15, 8, 16)
- Fwd
- Bck
- Ping-Pong 1
- Ping-Pong 2
- Directions 9-12: Jump and reverse
- (1, 16, 2, 15, 3, 14, 4, 13, 5, 12, 6, 11, 7, 10, 8, 9)
- Fwd
- Bck
- Ping-Pong 1
- Ping-Pong2
- Direction 13:
- Random
I chose to make most of the components SMD to save room on board space. Plus I only have one board to work with, instead of having stackable boards. This prototype PCB has a lot of issues with it but I should have a finalized version soon. If your interested in obtaining a PCB of this (and you can solder SMD's) let me know.
I need to find some taller pots for the Direction and Step knobs. The knobs I bought don't fit too well.
