De herleefde vraag naar analoge sequencers is vele ontwerpers niet ontgaan.
Een uiterts interessante uitvoering komt van de firma Technotoys: de Mikado.
Hier een uittreksel uit de beschrijving:
Mikado is a configurable analog sequencing system, optimized for controlling
a small (2-4 voice) analog modular synthesizer.
Mikado was designed to meet the need for a flexible, non-traditional hardware
sequencer. A primary design goal was to include several modules for creating
and manipulating rhythms using dividers, logic, and manual input. Flexible
voltage sequencing, quantizing, signal routing, and manual inputs were other
necessities.
• 1 Master Clock. The Master Clock section provides clock signals to drive
the rest of the system. MIDI sync - Internal clock - Source selection and
gating - Run Output - Divider Chain
• 2 Sequencers. The system contains two identical sequencers. Each sequencer
has 8 stages, with two rows (A and B); independent pulse outs for each step;
individual and multiplexed row outputs, and reset and direction inputs.
• 1 Pattern Generator. The Pattern generator is a 16-stage trigger bus, and
is similar to the trigger busses on the sequencers.
• 2 Quantizers. The system contains 2 identical quantizers, which limit a
voltage to a set of predefined values. The values that can appear at the
output are determined by the Quantizer Scale switches.
• 1 Transposer
• 3 Dividers. Binary Divider - Prime Divider - Divide by N
• 1 Sequential Switch. The Sequential Switch is a 4 to 1 analog multiplexer.
• 2 Analog Switches
• 2 Gate Switches
• 1 One-shot. The One-shot is a variable length pulse stretcher.
• 1 Flip-Flop. The flip-flop is a simple D-type flip-flop.
• 6 Logic modules. The logic modules are used to perform basic combinational
logic operations on trigger and gate signals. Dual input AND/OR/XOR - Quad
input AND/OR - Inverters
Genoeg om een winteravondje mee te freaken, lijkt me
