Honestly, I kinda doubt it. This module was developed in direct response to people online asking Behringer about taking the sequencer from their RD-8 / RD-9 (which use basically the same sequencer) and using it in Eurorack.

I mean, is it possible they took inspiration from Erica Synths? Sure.

But honestly, I had no idea until just now that Erica Synths even made a drum sequencer.

Which means I certainly didn’t know anything about it back in August, when I suggested to Behringer that they create exactly this module. Admittedly, I only asked for 8 tracks, and I imagined 2 rows of 8 keys, not a 4x4 layout, but either layout could work equally well.

Does the Erica Synths sequencer include options for note repeat, and step repeat? How about the ability to mute or solo any of the individual tracks / sounds? Is it limited to 16 steps? Can you chain different patterns? Does it provide any auto-fill functionality (bouncing away from the current pattern, playing the auto-fill pattern, then bouncing back to the pre-auto-fill original pattern)?

It has everything you mention bar the auto pattern I believe. The sequences are upto 64 steps with swing, directional options and individual time signatures.

Please, for the love of god, put this out.

i waited so long for this module and when it arrived i tried to program individual accent per channel and then realised it coild only do global accent :( sent it back the next day

By the looks of it, it might be the only Behringer product I'd entertain buying.
I'd be tempted to put it in its own case so as not to take up massive space in another row.
Though if I'm not careful I'll be recreating a 909 completely in Eurorack!

Hmm. Only 10 tracks vs Erica has 16...

Can you change/queue pattern changes when externaly clocked?
For me this is the one downside of the Erica which i only found out after purchasing it & which a few people including me have contacted them about.
Unfortunatley they just always say "in the next sofware update" which never arrives.
For me it's the one big negative about the Erica

I'm no Behringer fan, but the RS9 and 960 sequencers were EXACTLY what I had been looking for as a sequencing solution. While I'm mostly using the RS9 to sequence drums externally (Vermona DRM1 MkIV), I still use it to trigger events in the rack. I've tried so many different sequencers and never felt fully satisfied with any of them until I went with this inexpensive yet powerful combination. Aside from the huge chunk of real estate I'm sacrificing, I have zero complaints.

Dude. Not sure how you would be suggesting something like this without knowing of the Eric Drum Sequencer. It stands high above the heap. It does everything you are asking. And more. It is unrivaled.
And, yes, Behringer made this as a riff off of it. Pretty good job of it too. I have both.
