Feb 17 - 12:12 PM, by Nantho Music Hardware > Future Retro
Music Hardware : Future Retro Orb Sequencer - macmusicFuture Retro has just announced the release of the Orb sequencer.

The Orb is an easy to use, single track, step-based digital sequencer, ideal for controlling Future Retro's XS semi-modular synthesizer as well as other analog CV/Gate or MIDI synthesizers. The Orb is also a perfect solution for controlling 303 clones which often lack the essential sequencer.

Housed in a rugged aluminum chassis, the Orb continues Future Retro's tradition of hand-building quality products renowned for their unique sound, innovative design, and modern style. Unlike linear-style step sequencers, the Orb's circular interface makes it easy to divide a measure of music into equal parts, as well as intuitively display patterns as cyclic loops playing forward, in reverse, or remixed.

There are 256 recordable patterns available, each recording note duration, pitch, accent , glide, loop point, time signature, and swing amount. Pattern editing features include copy/paste, pattern shifting, pattern transposing, multiple pattern cueing for chaining patterns together live, and LED chase. In addition, all pattern editing and recording can be done while the sequencer is running, and it will automatically save all your edits so you don't have to stop creating !

The Orb is available now for $550 USD.
