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.
