The B.E.S.T. Step Sequencers
Some other projects/modules we're currently working on:
Sequencer Controller schematic - click to enlarge SEQUENCER CONTROLLER

Four-channel Sequencer Controller for the big Step Sequencer (click image to enlarge schematic).

The Sequencer Controller has four channels, for the four CV channels on the Step Sequencer. For each channel you can set the maximum number of pulses ("end out" signals) that the Sequencer Controller should receive from the Step Sequencer before changing active channel. You can choose to jump to the next channel instantly (forward/reverse/pendulum/random directions), or force it to stay on one of the channels repeatedly. Each channel can be enabled/disabled.

The module can also do frequency/BPM measurement of a supplied external clock pulse, as an aid in determining, for instance, sequencer tempo and song duration during recording or live performance.

Status information from the sequencer controller will be displayed on an LCD.

MIDI2CV MODULE
Four-voice MIDI-to-CV converter with MIDI IN/OUT/THRU, individual CV's for pitch and velocity, four gate signal outputs, as well as modulation and pitch bend CV. This is the prototype we're currently testing.

STORAGE MODULE
Pattern storage module for the Step Sequencer.
QUANTIZER AND PROGRAMMABLE SCALE/ARPEGGIATOR MODULE
Voltage quantizing module, producing scales and arpeggios. CV outputs for controlling analog synthesizers.
