I’ve been demoing the Quadrantid Swarm. It’s really cool, really fvcking wild actually.
One thing I really like is the sequencer, I like this just-turn-knobs-to-find-your-sequence/notes deal. It’s different than programming in notes or assigning notes, like on the Elektrons.
I know the Subharmonicon has the same thing, I’m eyeing that too, but I don’t necessarily like how you can’t explicitly turn notes off.
What other sequencers have this style of sequencing I should be looking at?
0-CTRL + Grids.
Korg SQ-1.
Midibox SEQ V4/V4+, Behringer BCR2000 on Zaquencer.
I knew I could count on you guys
For the money, this looks like a no-brainer
cheers
Yeah, for the price, this is pretty amazing, especially compared to in-rack solutions. Now, it’s not as much fun dialing in pitches as you might think. But you’re not concerned about exact melodies and just want to mix up things a bit, it’s quite handy.
Whoa.
I wish there was something like this half the size.
Yeah, I’ve got a few tools that get specific. I like the idea of just turning knobs and stumbling into things.
Zaquencer is really, really cool. About as modular as I’ve seen a midi sequencer get. Still haven’t really gotten too deep into it, and it’s a little weird to use, but it’s really great for coming up with random sequences.
Google BCR-32. 
Don’t buy a Google sequencer, they’ll abandon it in six months
I’m watching Benn Jordan’s demo
It’s exactly the answer to my question and more…
I’m really now just trying to decide if the real estate is worth it. I think maybe it is.
I haven’t seen anything on storing sequences. How do you store them? Like presets?
GAAHHHHHH!!!
That’s it.
Now, how long do I have to wait???
Only Uli knows for sure.
There’s a patch and bank system, so you create your sequence, store it to a specific pad (the 1-16 buttons on the top of the unit), then load them as needed. The biggest thing is learning the key commands and how to access everything and manage the global setup.
The actual sequencing is the easiest part, especially with an overlay.
If you can find one cheap enough it may be worth just doing it now because who knows when Behringer will release a new version, if ever, or if it will actually have all of the features of the current version.
Right now I believe you can use midi cc to modify certain aspects of each tracks sequence, like direction, track length, scale, etc. I’ve always wanted to see what that and an Octatrack would do and just never got around to it, but it’s really, really powerful for what it is. I’ve tried finding another modular-like hardware sequencer outside of eurorack and I can’t really find one better than this to be honest, not with these sorts of features.
I’m not in a huge rush.
Looking at the photos of the new one, it looks like all the buttons have the same/similar corresponding functions and it says “Zaquencer” on it. Hopefully they packed everything.
People can say whatever they want about Behringer, but I think it’s pretty cool that they saw what that guy did and brought him on board to develop a production version and slapped his name it. Good for him and them, and us, hopefully.
I was kind of thinking the opposite, I’d like to get a sequence going and record it into the A4 or DT sequencer live mode, then do some tweaking and p-locking.
That’s kind of how I use the NDLR.
What I would REALLY like is for the NDLR’s pattern and rhythm steps to be MIDI controllable individually via some kind of encoder controller.
I’d pay them good money for that functionality, but I think the firmware is maxed out.
