Introducing the SDS Digital Accord Series Sequarallel!
One thing that we hear a lot from
modular enthusiasts is how daunting it is to use a computer while
performing. I myself have done this and it doesn't always work out as
expected. It's especially difficult to load & run sequences from a dark
screen outdoors, or amongst a mess of haphazard wires strewn about the
stage, you get the picture.
In our constant endeavor to oust the computer from the
world of modular we have come up with another module that replaces
sequencer software. OK, a DAW MIDI player is still preferable to play the
MIDI that Sequarallel can record, but modular clocked MIDI, tracker
sequences, and Layered
MIDI can be recorded directly from a keyboard or controller if that's more
your application.
There is enough on-board memory to record many hours of MIDI sequences, loops,
layers, and tracks.
What Does This Module do?
The Sequarallel is, from the panel point of view, a 4 CV channel + MIDI Sequencer that will play your
VCO's and envelope generators or filters like a pro!
Traditional Sequencers are fine for stepped beats running on a clock but
creating the sequence is both time consuming and very tweaky. In many
applications they have their place, but for a truly complex and intricate
sequence, it seems we always turn to the computer, then patch it's output
to a converter for gates, triggers and CV's for modular.
The computer, musically, is outstanding in it's own world but can
rob you of creativity due to it's workflow and distraction of vast lists
of possibilities.
This module bypasses all of the hardware/software and does the sequences
on it's own! In standby it can still keep up with the best of MIDI2CV
modules, but with stand-alone sequencing it really shines! Sequences can
be modified via Note Transforms like Mirror, proximity scaling, inversion,
probability, glide, glissando, pitch bend, and Transpose. Most of these
can be controlled with a CV input to one of the 3 bi-directional jacks, or
with the MIDI Remote function from any MIDI controller or keyboard.
There's Selectable Global Automation recording, for MIDI or internal FX,
multiple sequencer tracks with adjustable on-board FX, and an intuitive
Play List to create a song from all of the loops, TRAX, and MIDI Layers,
that is very editable and modifiable.
As quoted "The Sequarallel is basically a DAW in 8HP!"
Looping?
Up to 17 Song Loop/Jump markers can be set within a recorded MIDI Song. TRAX
Tracker' Sequencers (up to 5 at once from a selection of 40 per Song Project)
Loop Sizes can vary dynamically from 1 to 64 steps, repeat x times and can be controlled per Play List
block using PLFX, or remotely. Live MIDI Recorded Layers can be any size
or set as a multiple of other tracks so everything is easy to sync. The Playlist groups (of
blocks) will loop depending on the sequential block's positions. If there
is no active block to fall into in the Play List,
each track will loop to the top of that group until armed elsewhere.
This means there is a pointer for each track and they can be all different
sizes. Conditional blocks can control the group looping by pausing for X
bars, or waiting for other tracks to trigger continuation.
Layering?
There can be up to 4 tracks of Layered MIDI sequences up to 8 layers deep
(32 Layers, play heads)
Each track has it's own loop-step-sequencer with programmable
bars-per-step up to 8 steps. Up to 4 of these sequencers can be
created per track. Each bars-step offers muting of individual layers so the
build can be "pulled apart" as a break down method, or alternated /
stacked to build a passage or alternate version. In addition to this, each step has an FX
bundle for transpose, solo, opt-in for SongFX control and note re-triggering with
SongFX sub-sequencers.
Layer recording can be left on with an intelligent
insertion without any degradation or memory use from un-used loops making
it a powerful inspiration tool... or can be set to do a 1-shot from the
first MIDI message or even a clock start. Remote piano keys or controllers can be
assigned to control Layer solo, mute, record and removal.
New! Layer can now record the
Sequarallel itself, in real time! This is great for mixing down TRAX and
inputs so can be arranged in the Layer Loop Sequencer and have SongFX
applied to re-trigger notes, or mirror/limit/scale/transpose up to 17
different ways from the Play List.
Sequencing?
Besides the real-time MIDI Recording and Layering features, the
Sequarallel has 5 unique 4 Lane Wide TRAX tracker-style sequencers. From 1
to 64 steps at any clock ratio, notes can be added one at a time, or
played in via MIDI to be quantized into the sequence live.
Each TRAX tracker has it's own FX pool of 8 FX configuration bundles that can be
applied by the note, lane, or group of steps. Some of these FX are Echo or
Ratcheting with pitch-step option, micro-arping, gate bridging, randomization, probability, glide, MIDI
CC values, ducking, instrument change, tuning...
Remote Control?
For the TRAX Trackers, while in Record, special keyboard keys can erase sections of sequence, stack lanes, and
overlay notes without changing FX, lengths, or velocities, making it
perfect for an ever-morphing clock-accurate sequence for Live
embellishment.
There is also a legacy mode used along with record that allows MIDI CC
knobs to control each individual step's pitch, length, delay, & NoteFX
selection.
For the entire module, nearly every parameter can be
controlled with CC's & Note On/Off on the selected Remote Channel. This is
done by the "MIDI Learn" method so you can set only the ones you want to
use in a project, or fall through to a global set with common controls.
All fully configurable. Note on/off's can set a state or value you taught
it, and if held for 3/4 second the released will return to original value
at learning time.
There is also a track remote that can overlay keyboard (notes)
remote assignment from an offset to toggle/reset solo/mute/gated
de-mute/gated FX/record and transport style main play/stop
CV inputs on CC5, CC6, and ClkOut jacks can be "learned" to also
control any parameter via CV. This can lead to new ways to alter a
sequence, control the Play List, or simply transpose a piece playing.
MIDI MPE Compatible?
Yes, the Sequarallel will accept MPE format (and detect zone configuration
messages) for up to 4 note zones on the panel. Zones larger than 4 notes
will still be sent on through MIDI out. All 4 rows can be configured to
proper channels by selecting MPE0 or MPE1.
Pitch Bend is applied to the CV outputs of course, but the 4 adjacent CC/VEL jacks
can be configured to respond to one of the remaining 4 expression elements to control
your VCO modulation, filters, etc. Pitch Bend range is max +/- 12 semi's,
but will likely be +/-48 by release time.
All MPE expressions are of course recorded when Layering MIDI, but care
must be taken that identical non-static expressions are not on more than one
Layer or they will compete.
MIDI After Touch?
The Sequarallel can record After touch (or channel pressure) in real time
as a Song or in MIDI Layers. After Touch can also be output as MIDI from
envelopes triggered by notes, clocks, or just free-running, as well as
convert channel after touch messages to CV output via one of the CC1-6
jacks. Per note After touch is recorded as whatever the assignment is in
the source (i.e. CC or PW)
Is This Module Complicated to Learn?
Not at all!
-It can be deep, but easy to learn the basics,
designed with ease of use a priority. See the new "Quick-RefCards"
below!
-If you like Trackers, then Sequarallel's 5 TRAX trackers is a 64 x 4 lane
playground of note and FX madness!
-If you like Sequencing, the TRAX trackers are easy to add notes &
FX to for an immediate start, or if you're impatient like me, 4 lane
sequences can be recorded directly from any keyboard. There's also a
sequencer legacy mode that you can employ any knob or slider style Midi
controller to adjust steps like in the old days ;)
-If you like perfectly auto-tuned VCO's every time,
the Sequarallel remembers, by name, up to 8 VCO's per jack row.
-If you have DAW sequences you'd like to "modularize"
it's just a matter of arranging them and recording them in.
-If controlling a modular sequencer live via MIDI
controllers or swapping pre-made patterns to DJ standards is a must,
Remote has it.
-If you like to free-style play and build up a track
as inspiration hits, Layering has got you covered.
-If you want to take your favorite downloaded Song
and use parts of it for your loops, twisting it beyond recognition SongFX
is your thing.
-If you like to experiment with and tweak/morph
running loops, then jump to other phrases seamlessly, the Sequarallel is
set up for this workflow. I have personally created whole song projects
without hitting the stop button!
-If you want to compose a whole song from all these
elements, the Play List will make it happen.
Scrolling through the on-screen Quick-Box buttons makes changing
parameters as easy as possible, and can held down to enter lists, editors
or lesser changed settings "behind" the Quick-Box. Some Quick-Boxes open
up when clicked to select one of several quick-change parameters similar a
browser selector box. Quick-Box Buttons can be rearranged or removed from
the Song Project.
|
| Live Transposing |
The entire MIDI sequence, MIDI output and CV's, can be instantly
transposed. This change happens only on bars so a simple sequence can
be "played" by transposing. A great added feature to the Sequarallel
is panel actions can be automated so a transposing sequence can be
used throughout the sequence loops.
|
|
Live MIDI2CV |
The MIDI & LINK inputs can be used to simply convert
MIDI to CV. This is great for auditioning a sequence before recording
it, inputting from a DAW, or just playing certain VCO's while
sequences run. Set up the Order button to stack, cycle, range, or
output probability the same way as with sequencing. Instantly switch
sources to all jacks with CV MODE Presets to go all accapella on your
VCO's!
|
| Drum Triggers |
When switched
to Drums Mode, set MIDI Channel (10) is ported to the 12 jacks as percussion
triggers from any source (MIDI, TRAX). The MIDI notes for each drum used is shown on the display as
a grid that highlights blocks when the trigger is played. There are 8
configurable drum palettes.
|
|
Transpose |
Global
Transpose Quick-Box on-screen button is quick access and can also be
automated.
|
| 62 Songs Projects! |
Up to 62
Songs (AKA Projects) can be stored at once. Each includes a recorded
MIDI song, added Layers, TRAX tracker sequences, Envelopes,
automation, and Play List Arranger.
|
| TRAX
Tracker |
Separate from MIDI Layering and the MIDI Song, 5 TRAX Trackers have
their own tracks in the main Play List. Each track can have up to 8
different Trax Sequences (64 steps) in any order, with any clock
division/multiplication, plus TRAX importable from other Songs.
Each Trax Sequence is 4 lanes wide and boasts Note-level FX bundles
(like echo, ratchet micro-arp with transpose offsets, pitch shift, length,
delay, randomize a parameter, CC trigs etc)
TRAX can also be recorded to, automatically time quantizing notes to
steps and stacking chords across the lanes. Using the legacy sequencer
mode MIDI CC's can control steps of TRAX and do scaling, shift etc,
live!
|
Self-Recording
CV2CV Recorder |
A new mode in Layer
Record options enables self recording, so a jam of TRAX, Song, and
other Layers can be recorded along with MIDI inputs and CV modifiers
(CC/PW/AT/Notes/Gates). CV2CV recording can also be achieved at MIDI
resolution doubling as a multi-track CV recorder!
|
|
Automation Recording |
MIDI and CV2MIDI
automations can be recorded into MIDI Layers, then placed into a
unique Layer Loop Step Sequencer to be called up together or in
sequence. Scrolling over any Layer reveals any CC/PW/AT that resides
there (up to 3 can be viewed) or these automations can be monitored
during play graphically in Song View.
|
| Layer Recording |
Record Layers while a
sequence is playing, or alone, from a keyboard or any MIDI controller.
Layers Record can be left recording to free the player from managing
the module while in a creative spin! This is great for building up a
section of a sequence or song, then returning to the main sequence
original by peeling or muting.
Layer can be used to 1-shot record internal Sequences like the
tracker(s) to apply SongFX, or quantize etc.
Layer can also be used to record incoming CV's into Midi CC's (then
back to CV) to be recalled in Play List, effectively making the
Sequarallel a CV Recorder!
Layers can also be saved
permanently with the Song Project.Each of the
4 Layer Buttons have a drop-down with master FX like Transpose,
Mirror, Scale, Level (velocity), Low/Hi Limit, Quant, Solo, Mute, and
will follow Master Song swing, scale & transpose overrides.
|
| Display: |
On the left
side of the display, 4 large notes are displayed as they are played
(live) or sequenced out to CV.
During Drums mode there are 12 boxes (with note#'s) that highlight
when a percussion trigger occurs
On the right side are the "Quick Boxes" that can be scrolled up/down
to. Quick Boxes are essentially buttons.
|
| MIDI in Trigger
(RS) |
MIDI Input, when not
being used for MIDI, can accept trigger input pulse to start / reset /
stop sequences and trigger conditional steps in the Play List i.e.
re-starting a paused sequence.
|
| Select Bus |
This module can act
as a Eurorack Select Bus master or slave. All 62 Song Projects can be
recalled when a slave. Otherwise, Select Bus can be used like remote
control to set any parameter to a preset value. This includes
selecting Scales, modes, functions, offsetting transpose, or even
certain Notes (in TRAX)
|
| CV Fine Tune
/Auto-tune |
Each 1V/Octave CV has
it's own fine tuning +/- 100 cents, and there's a master Fine Tune
Quick-Box to add a bit of sharpness to all VCO's quickly. Each jack
also has a MIDI "zero note" (default is 36) for VCO's not tuned.
For even finer tuning, Auto-Tune perfectly tunes those stubborn
non-linear gain VCO's.
For Hz/V connoisseurs, there's 120 point bi-polar auto-tune using the
MIDI in jack. You could even tune a 555 oscillator!
|
|
MIDI Remote |
MIDI Remote can be used to control internal functions
and Play List control via groups of global assignment parameters.
These reside on a set MIDI channel and allow instant control of FX, FX
Masking, Loops, Solo/Mute and even automation triggers, giving you DJ-like
control without actually touching the panel. (NEW!) MIDI Learn mode
can be used to configure any settable parameter.
In Addition, any TRAX Tracker with it's Record on can be adjusted by
the step, like a traditional sequencer, but with step delay, gate
length, velocity, scale quant with root CC, note overlay, kill, and FX
bundle assignments, all from 10 MIDI controls (8 steps).
Perhaps the best of all, there's a MIDI Learn function for any (most)
of the discrete settings. Simply 1 CC to 1 parameter.
|
|
Layer Loop Step Sequencer w/FX |
Layers also has four 8 step sequencers per Layer
Button. Each Layer Button can layer up to 8 "letters", A to H, which
can be opted into steps of the larger sequence, with variable bar
counts per step. Each step has some FX controls like transpose, level
offset, Solo, Note Probability, MIDI channel re-assignment, and
SongFX/Sub-sequencer/retrigger options
|
|
CV Remote |
Up to 3 CV inputs can also be used to remote control
virtually any parameter in the Sequarallel thanks to the CV Input's
Learn function. Other CV inputs can be used to input notes or gates at
the same time offering a great way to record in a Layer from your
favorite sequencer. CV Inputs can also be used to change a MIDI
CC/AT/Pitchbend on a specific MIDI channel, or even start/stop play.
|
|
VCO Auto-Tune |
Each CV Output Jack can be auto-tuned for up to 8 of
your favorite VCO's. VCO's can be 1V/Octave, V/Hz, or even just a 555
timer really. Auto-tune will lock onto it and tune it to perfection.
VCO names (16 chars) can be assigned for reference. No more out of
tune VCO's !
|
|
Dynamic MIDI2CV |
"CV Modes" can be instantly selected (setup beforehand
by you) to assign different MIDI channels to jacks and control how
chords stack and play out with the "Order" Quick-Box. As a bonus
side-effect, multiple tracks can be brought out to the Gate+CV jacks
from different MIDI channels as they play with configuring each time.
CV Mode Layouts can be copied from other Song Projects.
|
|
Arpeggiator |
Not to be over looked is the 4 channel Arpeggiator as a CV Mode
option. Settings like full clock multiplier range, 1 - 16 step mask,
latching, octaval adder, direction, and step options such as reset and
hold make this feature comparable to any high end synth or module. Add
to the CV/Gate outputs with a selected MIDI channel for the Arp
channel!
So up to 4 different Arps from 4 different sources, or the same
source, can run at once adding a completely new dimension to even a
simple sequence.
|
|
FX FX FX!! |
These are not MIDI FX, but can also control MIDI FX!
The Sequarallel's FX modify notes & their timings, or control
parameters for just about any setting.
Multiple FX settings reside in a "bundle". Song Loops
have 17 FX bundles to use, TRAX trackers have 8 NoteFX bundles each
and each track has 7 PLFX bundles to Control things from the Play List
steps, while Layers has
direct FX controls by the Step or can ride on opted-in Song Loop FX.
I haven't counted but there are probably close to 400 FX bundles total
each tailored to it's sequencer type.
i.e. TRAX tracker's per-note-FX have Micro-Arp sequences for
Ratcheting and Echoing notes, direct MIDI CC outputs, glide, PC, Fine
tune (PW), probability, parameter randomizer ++ and a mask sequencer
to stop FX on certain steps. So much more! |
Whether you want to sequence simple
triggers or a complex rhythm, or a whole song, the Sequarallel gets the
job done!
A Bit of History...
My own
testimonial to HW sequencing and the origins of the Sequarallel:
For a time over the past few years I have performed with a laptop
sequencing backing instruments and controlling MIDI hardware. Things
didn't always go as planned. Sometimes minor issues would go
un-noticed, while other total crash scenarios were a total
show-stopper. That feeling of hopelessness resonated in my soul since
then and I have made it a #1 goal to eradicate the computer from the
stage entirely!
|
|
I have designed
and built a few MIDI-controlled stage lighting fixtures to run during
loaded backing for songs I performed, plus elaborate software control
requiring only a 3 digit number be entered and everything loads up. At
that time a good part of the the audio processing and MIDI instruments
were software based but mixed with hardware like Korgs & Yamaha
synths/drums. All of this controlled via MIDI from the PC.
So to pull the PC
out of the loop, and get total control over my TC Helicon VoiceLive
Touch 2 vocal FX unit, I designed a pedal board called "Pedal 7"
(shown right>>)
This combines manual and automatic control over 4 MIDI I/O, modular
interfacing, sample player, running tap-tempo, and a great sequencer
to meld it all together.
That sequencer is what I based the Sequarallel on. |
The Pedal-7, origin of the
Sequarallel! |

On-Going Development (Milestones):
Version 1.7 released: This addresses several issues that have
been discovered over the past weeks (June '22), plus adds the new Layer
Channels Mask feature using SongFX#'s.
Version 1.8 released: TRAX Tracker Step Record added. This
allows single step recording while not playing (automatically switches to
this mode)
Version 1.9 released: MIDI Layers can now self-record
(mostly for TRAX mix-down) along with any MIDI / CV inputs as normal
Layer. This adds a huge amount of potential by compiling any live
automations or notes input and results of remote control changes and Arps,
whatever is output, to be modifyable using SongFX i.e. channel muting, any
SongFX to notes, retriggering, note lengths, velocity level, scaling etc.
Version 2.1 released: Layer Loop Step Sequencer Note
Probability added
Version 3.0 released: Layer Loop Step "Kill Last" added, to
stop any playing Layers in a single QB playing if not included in new
step. TRAX single lane record. SongView QB added to view MIDI CC's/PW/AT
in graphic format, or Notes as pianoroll, on any or all channels
Version 3.1 released: Adds scrolling TRAX sequencers (1-4)
to Song View QB to view all at once!
Version 3.6 released: Adds CV Mode Drums, where VCO's and up
to 4 drum triggers can be output at once.
Several new tutorial videos have also been released at
https://www.youtube.com/user/freshnelly/videos plus the new "Tips &
Tricks" series ( # 4 coming soon!)
If you are sitting on the fence about purchasing a Sequarallel, then now
is a really good time, we have them in stock now (March '23), but
re-stocking may be a challenge due to the chip shortages, as it has been
for all of the module manufacturers. Lucky we bought lots of parts! If
it's mid to late July and you have submitted an order request
(fresh@freshnelly.com) please
be patient as we do holiday around that time of year, and with CoVid
restrictions over we certainly will be!
High Points:
If you're trying decide on whether the Sequarallel is right for your rack,
here's some high points on it's capabilities, which, perhaps, will further
explain what it can do. Of course eventually once the development
