Performance Sequencer
Floating Knobs is proud to annouce their first module : Cuisine, a 12 tracks sequencer designed following the modular spirit : live performance and flexibility.
Cuisine is a 12 tracks modular and MIDI sequencer packed with features to quickly create variations in your patterns and make them evolve endlessly while keeping things simple enough for a one handed operation.
Inputs and Outputs:
- 4 CV (Control Voltage) outputs ranging from 0 to 8V.
- 8 gates/triggers outputs with a voltage range of 0 to 5V.
- 4 gates inputs.
- MIDI TRS input and output.
- USB-C port for power and firmware updates.
Tracks:
- 12 tracks with three different modes available: Note, Drum, or Modulation.
- Each track can have an independent size of up to 64 steps.
- Individual track clock division settings.
- 12 patterns per track and 16 banks for storing patterns.
Musical Features:
- User-customizable scale that can be deactivated independently on each track.
- Main transpose feature for easy chord progression within the selected scale.
- Override/Performance mode for performing a track as a sequenced arpeggiator.
- Individual gate length control per step, as well as a track-specific gate length relative to the next note (if track gate length = 100%, then all notes are linked; if 99%, then all notes will trigger).
- Euclidean rhythm generator for generating complex rhythmic patterns.
- Velocity control, including track's main base velocity and track's main accent velocity for more expressive sequencing.
- Drum track with full-range velocity per step.
- Playmode options, which can be regular or gate.
Versatile Usage:
- Can be used as a stand-alone unit or integrated into a Eurorack modular system.
- Intuitive operations such as Copy, Paste, and Clear.
- Quick save and load functions for selected tracks.
- The ability to change patterns for the current track or all tracks simultaneously.
- Designed for one-handed operation.
Input and Output Flexibility:
- All inputs and outputs are freely assignable to one or more tracks.
- Gate inputs can be used for the main clock input, individual clock input, reset, or play functions.
Hardware:
- 38HP.
- Endless potentiometer to keep the silky smooth feeling of a regular potentiometer.
- The hardware is built around an Atmega 4809 microcontroller (think Arduino Nano Every).
- The open-source nature of the hardware allows adventurous users to develop their own firmware.
