the absolutely awful plugin suite
common characteristics:
- these plugins are awful, you are advised to avoid them at all costs
- no user manuals, never ask for a user manual.
- ugly interface because a) i am not able and b) i am not interested in user interfaces
- totally, miserably, hopelessy free
- all input and output ports are color-coded as in figure:
- warning: the millboard front panels require special screws (polygonal holes). they are easy to miss and we do not provide spares.
**** 1.1.1 update **** i was really, really tired of the voltage level mismatch between the modules available. so, the output level of the sequencers changed again, now supporting a full range of -10V to +10V. this can be limited/shifted/transposed/whatever with two tiny knobs misleading labeled as "output range".
to add insult to injury, for the very first time in the world a plugin could have (or have not) some hidden features. and now for something completely different: a list.
a list.
klee
a rather complete klee sequencer, with some enhancements. more information: https://www.google.com/search?q=klee%20sequencer%20pdf
m581
inspired by the system 100 sequencer, check https://www.google.com/search?q=m185%20step%20sequencer
renato
x/y sequencer, in memory of the great renato/04! vaguely inspired by https://www.google.com/search?q=renee%20sequencer
z8k
4 colors x 4 sequencers. matrix reloaded. hint: https://www.google.com/search?q=z8000%20sequencer
spiralone
hypnotic! based on https://www.google.com/search?q=cyclic%20sequencer
burst
will likely cause serious damage to your ears idea taken from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylnhftrhjnm
pwmclockgen
some sequencers have their gate outputs dependent from the clock pulse cycle. here is a clock generator with controllable pwm, and swingable, and remotable, and syncable with midi, and with a lot of outputs, and frankly quite ugly.
quantizer
voltages in scale
uncertain
unstable voltages recipe:
- 1/2 doepfer a-149-1
- 1/4 buchla 266e
- 1/4 gauss sigma control shaken, not stirred.
att / amp
calm down your boiling voltages, or energize the cables. can be used as voltage generator too.
boole
there are 10 kind of people: those who can understand boolean logic, and the others. this is the very first plugin in the world with variable impedence inputs. when using high impedence mode, please use shielded cables for quieter operation.
xswitch
circuit breaker. now expanded with optional hold capabilities.
mplex
multiplexer, an extremely controllable one. obviously inspired by my wife.
dmplex
did you multiplex? ok, now please de/multiplex. this sentence also inspired by my sweetie.
counter
count clocks and bangs when it reaches 0.
midyquant
dedicated to the inventor of the short midi message. quantized midi output for heavy daw users.
nag nag nag
trigonometric noise, a sin () under control of some well-tempered voltages.
empty
a strategy to waste some rack space in a more productive way ;-)
ascii
why just taking notes if you could make them play?
flop
as stated before, the logic consequence of using these plugins is a flop.
qu4ttro
vaguely inspired by a popular ios app. or it was bach?
o88o
an arpeggiator that pretends to be a sequencer, or the other way around. the first pattern is just as empty as empty
volt
the plugin that alessandro volta always wanted to have, if he was interested in microtonal music instead of frogs.
