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.

Super Sixteen v1: common questions

What microcontroller does the Super Sixteen v1 use?

The Super Sixteen v1 is built around the ATMEGA328P-PU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Super Sixteen v1 PCB?

The Super Sixteen v1 measures 111.3 × 106.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Super Sixteen v1?

141 components, from 52 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Super Sixteen v1 design files?

From the matthewcieplak/super-sixteen repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Super Sixteen v1 design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with matthewcieplak. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Super Sixteen v1 without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
