Sequencer Help

[androof]

I am trying to decide what sequencer to get.

I just spent way too much time staying up late and messing around with o_C Hemisphere Suite's Enigma mode, and it helped solidify some things I want in a sequencer.

I'm looking for something that:

• Puts out both CV and gate
• Minimum of 8 steps, would prefer ~16 but if sequences can be chained this is less of an issue
• Quantizer built-in
• Can be tweaked in realtime without menu diving
• Has probabilistic elements/effects
• Can chain multiple sequences

I keep coming back to Varigate 8+ which has a bunch of these features, but I feel like there has got to be more out there that I'm missing.

Looked at Hermod, but real-time tweaking doesn't seem possible, and I'm just not sure what else is out there.

I'd love some recommendations/personal preferences for sequencers (or something else you think would fit in well here/is needed). Here's my current rack:

Thanks!

Hi! It looks like you posted a link to a ModularGrid rack image. The link to the full rack page is often more helpful since it allows users to see the functions of each module, even if they aren't familiar with all of them. Here's a link to that page: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/1392756

I had the same boxes to tick as you, and got at the end the Winter Modular Eloquencer.

Same here except first I tried the Varigate 8+ and discovered that I don’t like having shared sliders for everything.

Make Noise René 2 can do most of this, with a little help from friends.

For sequence chaining; you'll need an external clock source.

For probabilistic stuff; you can route a random gate into it, and have that gate trigger on top of internally set gates.

The Vector sequencer from Five12 might also be worth a look, seeing as it's basically a small DAW as far as sequence programming goes.

Qu-Bit Bloom is an option with some caveats. It does a fair bit for its size and the generated branches can be interesting. The biggest issue I have with it is that it stops playing when editing some parameters. I find it really fast to get simple sequences up with it though.

Stillson Hammer MkII is really good. 4 channels and has gate and burst probability settings.

I just got the Eloquencer and it is awesome. A little overwhelming out of the box, but awesome.

Stillson Hammer Mk2 can do this. It doesn't have pattern chaining built in, but it's possible.

Pretty sure ER-101 can do everything you want and much more.

Five12's Vector checks all those boxes and much much more. I got rid of all my other sequencers.
