From the project
Code and schematics for the Super Sixteen Eurorack sequencer
At just 20HP, it is a compact and powerful 64-step control voltage sequencer with 99 song patch memory, motion recording, scale selection, realtime pitch and rhythm effects, paraphonic modes, generative mutations, and a uniquely powerful two-handed programming interface.
Video blogs documenting the sequencer progress are available on youtube.
