Back in 1976, this tabletop powerhouse introduced dual quantized voltage outputs to the analog world, letting you dial in precise pitches without the drift woes that plagued most sequencers of the era.
Its 16 vertical sliders set CV levels from 0-10V across a 1V/oct scale, covering two full octaves in quantized mode for spot-on melodies, or unquantized for wilder experiments. Flip to dual mode for two independent 8-step sequences across separate A and B outputs, while 16 three-position switches route each step's gate to one of three busses—perfect for rhythmic complexity or even envelope shaping. Internal clock with adjustable frequency, pulse width modulation, FM input for swing, plus start/stop/reset controls and jacks for external sync keep things flexible; patch in via 1/8" inputs like on the ARP 2600, including multiples for easy voltage splitting. At just 8 lbs, the desktop design packs banana-free punch tailored for ARP synths like the 2600 or Odyssey, but plays nice with Roland or Oberheim via CV/gate.
Vintage hunters prize its raw power and fun factor, though its rarity and premium price tag mean it's a collector's gem—not for the faint of wallet, but endlessly inspiring for modular heads chasing that classic ARP vibe.
