The article 'Exploring the Endorphin.es Running Order 1U: The Versatile Two-Track Trigger Sequencer/Euclidean Generator' reviews the features and benefits of the Running Order 1U Eurorack module. This module is a two-track trigger sequencer and can be used as a master clock or sub-sequencer/divider. It has a 101-style 1/16th note input mode with manual or CV controllable amount of trigger repeats, as well as a Euclidean mode with separate synchronization inputs and per step trigger probability. The Running Order 1U also includes clock division for incoming external clocks, separate mute buttons for each track, and can store up to 8 patterns of trigger sequences. The article highlights the versatility and usefulness of this module for electronic music production.
read moreExploring the Dual Euclidean Sequencing with Rebel Technology's Stoicheia Black
The article titled 'Exploring the Dual Euclidean Sequencing with Rebel Technology's Stoicheia Black' delves into the functionalities of Stoicheia Black, which is a dual Euclidean sequencer. The module generates rhythmic sequences algorithmically based on an input trigger signal, and each sequence is regulated by a column of three knobs and a switch. The article highlights that the length of the sequence is measured in clocks or beats and can range from 1 to 16, with the center position being at 8. The number of on-beats is controlled by the third knob, where fully clockwise sets every beat 'on.' The article provides an overview of the top knob's function, which adjusts the beat the sequence starts on, allowing users to rotate the sequence left or right. Furthermore, the updated version of Stoicheia doesn't require a 5V rail and is available in kit form from Befaco Synths.
