2 channel tempo-synced cv and gate recorder

The Automator is a hands-on, performance-focused 2-channel CV & gate recorder for Eurorack — designed to capture movement, rhythm, and happy accidents without interrupting your flow.

With a big, expressive slider, tempo-synced looping, and powerful new firmware features, it turns simple gestures into evolving modulation and sequences.

✨ What makes it special?
🎛 Always recording, always ready
No need to arm or prep — just move the slider and press record to instantly loop what you played.
🔴🟢 Two independent channels
Record and play back two completely separate CV + gate sequences.
⏱ Clock-synced looping (with shuffle support!)
Locks tightly to your system — even with swing/shuffled clocks.
🔁 Flexible loop lengths
From tiny fragments to full phrases:
up to 4 bars (or 8 bars with extended mode)
🎚 High-resolution CV recording
Smooth, detailed motion capture that scales with tempo.

🚀 New in Firmware 2.0
This version adds a lot of creative power:

🎯 Gate quantization – snap rhythms to the grid
🎲 Shuffle-aware playback – follows groove, not just tempo
⚡ Trigger mode – convert gates into tight triggers
🧩 Sample & Hold mode – turn gestures into stepped sequences
💾 Patch storage (16 slots) – save & recall full setups
🎬 One-shot mode – record envelopes, phrases, or modulation that plays once on trigger
📏 Extended loop lengths – up to 8 bars
🎵 Performance workflow

The Automator is built for live use:
Record a movement → instantly loop it
Short loop → extend it later (it remembers everything)
Switch channels for layering
Store variations and recall them mid-performance
Trigger one-shots for fills, accents, or modulation bursts

It’s simple on the surface, but deep when you need it.
