For Sale, pre-production version of the Sequentix P3 Sequencer. Before Sequentix existed as a company the founder, Colin Frasier, used to sell kits of the P3 sequencer. This is one of these and is very rare (less than 100 exist).
€999
The P3 Sequencer builds on the best ideas from vintage and modern analogue sequencers and drum machines, to provide a direct and intuitive method for creating pattern-based electronic music.
It is an 8 track, hardware MIDI sequencer that allows real-time control of track mutes and simple pattern or pattern chain selection across multiple tracks, plus analogue-style editing of patterns. Each of its 384 patterns has independent values for note, velocity, tie, gate, length, gate delay, and a combination of up to four MIDI controllers, extra notes, or 'auxiliary events', per step.
P3's unique auxiliary events allow the creation of dynamically self-modifying patterns. They can grab values from other tracks, randomise steps, alter track and global settings, and much more. Furthermore, you can assign front panel knobs to modify or mask these events in real-time, allowing you to create interactive patterns that change predictably as you adjust the knobs - varying in complexity, controlling levels of randomness, even 'morphing' from one pattern to another.
Among its multitude of features is an apreggiator, 48 ppqn resolution, shuffle, fine-tuning step delay for 303esque groove, Midi in, Midi out & Sync connections. It can be used equally as effectively controlling external midi gear or software
The P3s Operating System is rock solid and features are constantly being added by Colin Fraser to it on the Sequentix Yahoo Group.
According to Sound-on-Sound magazine - "The P3 allows you to work in ways that wouldn't occur to you in a software environment, as well as with drum machine, real-time record and step-record methodologies. In short, there's no other product, soft or hard, that exactly matches what's on offer here. If you've any leanings in the direction of knobby analogue sequencing, you're probably already a P3 owner or are saving up to become one. It's a winner."
