Seq with individual step/stage selection via triggers?

[Entrainer]

I'm looking for a sequencer with individual stage/step selection via triggers.
5U or Euro preferred... (no bananas).

Thanks!

The Analogue Solutions Oberkorn 3 has a four bit logic input section for the selection of steps 1 to 16.

Dotcom Q960: Inputs to trigger each step and shift input, outputs for when each step is triggered.

Drawbacks: No good gate output without buying other modules. But if you are triggering it anyway, you could mult the trigger ins in different ways to use that signal as your gate too.

If using the Q960 in shift input mode then there is no reason to need an additional trigger/gate source. The shift source is the timing.

The same could be said for the STG Time Modules. They have a shift input function too. They are much more affordable if all you want is an 8/16 step voltage or trigger destination.

Actually, most all of the 5U sequencers use a shift input so there is quite a lot to choose from.

and he would know - he's a sequencing mad man! (in a good way)

The question was which Sequencers allow you trigger individual stages/steps. The Q960 fits the bill easily. When you use it this way, you have to consider how you will create your gate source because it is not easily coming from the Q960 as it would from a lot of other sequencers. You would need at least another module to get the gate output from the Q960 when you are triggering the individual stages.

You are right that if you are just using the shift input, then that would be your gate source as well.

If you're DIY-inclined you could always go for the CGS Programmer/Sequencer, in whatever format you're looking for.

Cool, thanks all. I read the Oberkorn manual a bit, and that seems to do
what I was thinking about in my mind if using midi. I'll take a look at
the Dotcom one as well... trying to avoid Midi/Computer because then
I could just use Numerology + Silent Way. I'm not liking the computer these
days when using the modular, as powerful as it is. It's one or the other
for me.

DIY, getting interested in trying my hand at it. Bought a iron. But I
think a sequencer is a bit off... I'll probably start with some easier stuff.
I heard the 5 Pulser isn't to difficult.

Also, the Moon 569 sequencer with input expander module.

Don't have mine any longer, but doesn't this work only with midi?

yeah - was just going to mention that one. You'd want to pick up a recent 569 though. The earlier ones didn't do this properly except when you were in 4x8 mode. Now it works properly.

the a155/a154 allows you to use voltage to select the stage. Not entirely the same thing, but very cool nonetheless.

Glad to here you got this straightened out!
