Meet Gorf
by Marc Nostromo
Paul Maddox, maker of the Monowave synth, is currently building a mini 8 step sequencer based on an ATmel Mega16 micro (mega micro, hey I love it already
. He’s planned features are:
- Ability to store and load 4 sequences, along with their parameters
- 8 Steps
- Each step has Note number, velocity, gate on/off, CC1 and CC2 controls
- Variable Tempo (no MIDI sync yet)
- Variable ‘base note’ for the notes being played
- Selectable CC’s for CC1 and CC2 channels
- Variable sequence length
- MIDI Clock out (with start/stop)
- Rock solid timing
- Variable Step Length
- Legato mode
- MIDI Sync In
- MIDI Control of root note
And a little demonstration video.
The good news is that he’s most likely to make Gorf available as kits which means the feature set could be altered too. I would love to have a small independant sequencer that could trigger notes and CC but with the ability to get loop points in the CC sequence, much like the HOP features of lsdj/lgpt tables. I’m sure this unit would make an excellent companion to the evolver to program sequences on the fly.

Looks like a lot of fun! I already want one
