| Looks awesome! Was thinking of picking up a circadian rhythms but I might have to wait and see what this is all about. |

| Pyramid interface, I guess. |

| Not the best photo, from the instagram post it has MIDI in/out and USB host/device as well. 8 channel CV/gate sequencer...maybe 24-28 hp? |

| Interested! Love the pyramid! |

I just updated the photos ;-) |

| Looks very interesting, but, I have to say, MIDI/USB jacks on the bottom looks like they're really get in the way of programming it. Not an issue if you don't care about external stuff of course. |

Cool, I was just about to upload the photo myself!  |

| Hopefully it will be able to integrate with the pyramid hardware as an expansion! |

| oh wow. this could be magic. |

| Looks cool but in reality CV & gate only shouldn't cut it anymore...these uber sequencers should always include a third output for modulation. |

| Intriguing. I do wish they'd have included dedicated clock and reset inputs. Hopefully one of the inputs A-D can be used for this. |

Wow looking great!
New case?  |

| Mmmm. I have a Pyramid, and I use it with Shuttle Control and love it. I'm really curious about this though. Not sure how the programming will work as well with the different pads, but interested to see more! |

| Personally, I'm curious to see how the USB/MIDI can be used with external controllers for chord programming and control. |

+1
really needs dedicated clock and reset inputs |

| If it could also act as a midi/cv converter, it Would be killer! |

It really does look great! But like has already been mentioned here, two outs per track is just no longer cutting the mustard. At a bear minimum 3 outs per, but to really fit the super namesake, 4-6 outs per track would be great. 6 per out would really future proof it as well.
Otherwise everything they have going with this is great. Super great direction, and I love the connectivity options.
I know that from the sequencer stand point tackling MPE isn't the easiest, but still it is going to be only become more and more prevalent.

 Holy shit man, isn't that asking a lot from a sequencer? I mean, you're practically asking for a DAW. At 6 outputs per track how many tracks would a sequencer have? If it's also supposed to be competitive with the newest 8track sequencers, that's ... 48 outputs.
Come on!  |

3 outs was the minimum. 4 would be the over achiever. And someone trying to sell me on their product being the end all be all, would need something like 5 or 6.
I'm not the one driving the evolution of synthesizes. I'm just embracing it. Sequencers that profess to be the greatest but only give me a gate and cv out just aren't doing what they proclaim to be (when they proclaim to be the best, greatest, super, or brain of my eurorack).
As a Midi to CV converter it would be falling short as well. (See the Polyend Poly for an example of a midi to cv converter done right, IMO)
I get it, 48 outs are a ton of jacks. But such is the medium by which modular synths work.
I'll postulate that the number of outs is not the reason we aren't seeing these kinds of sequencers. The real reason is the methods by which to sequence MPE patterns are complex, and no one has figured out how to make it accessible in the eurorack format.
So maybe I'm too forward thinking, but I see the eurorack market as one of the few places where true forward thinking can happen.

| Appreciate this off topic, but actually Polyend Pro needs more (configurable) outs to properly support something like Linnstrument as doesn't have Aftertouch. Only thing I have found is Fh-1 with 4 extenders. |

I see 16 outputs. If they are freely assignable this should be more than sufficient. And if someone needs more, then it is surely possible to use 2 units. If anything, people seem to neglect input on sequencers. To make sense in a modular context also the parameters of the sequencer need to be modulated.
Anyway, currently we know nothing. Before complaining, I'd actually like to see what it is. An expansion for the pyramid? A standalone eurorack sequencer that is programmed via usb controller? |
