ER-101 (nostalgia)

Indexed quad sequencer

The ER-101 is a real-time composition, sequencing and automation environment, all in 26HP. It enables you to compose sequences of thousands of steps with variable duration, variable gate length, arbitrary scales, smooth transitions, save/recall device state and much more.

Highlights

• 4-track sequencer
• stepped and smooth voltage transitions
• each track has 3 outputs: 2 CVs + 1 gate
• each track has its own adjustable loop points
• each track contains up to 100 patterns and each pattern can contain up to 100 steps
• each step can be individually adjusted to have 0-99 clock cycles in duration
• each gate can be individually adjusted to have 0-99 clock cycles in duration with or without ratcheting
• configure each track to output gates or triggers
• configure each track to have its own clock multiplier (1x to 99x)
• CVs are chosen (indexed) from voltage tables of which there are 2 per track (A & B)
• 8 built-in and 8 user reference voltage tables for initializing the track tables
• voltage tables are user-editable and have 100 entries per table
• voltages between 0.000-8.192V at 2mV increments can be dialed in
• each voltage table can be configured to use note display or numeric display
• smoothing can be enabled for individual steps, entire patterns and/or entire tracks
• smoothed transitions are NOT simply slews but are adjusted to match the current tempo in real-time
• hold feature (complete double-buffering of device state) allows you to edit-and-commit on the beat while the sequencer is running
• while in hold mode, committing changes to a running sequence can be either immediate or quantized to the beat
• reset can be either immediate or quantized to coincide to with the ending of the current track, pattern, or step
• stores up to 16 snapshots of the state of the entire device
• arbitrary insert/delete of patterns/steps with clipboard style copy/paste
• math button allows you to specify a mathematical operation to apply to a step, a pattern or a track.
• note repeat (aka ratchet) any step
• shuffle (aka swing) any step
• expansion port
• last saved snapshot is loaded automatically on power-up
• firmware upgradeable via USB
• expander available: ER-102
