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.
