Outboard sequencing
Modular Rhythm | Producer’s Guide To
>Sequencing, especially by step, can take a fair amount of space, so ask yourself if you need it to be module-based? Save yourself some valuable hp by moving this task to a different space. You could use a small MIDI-to-CV module like Yarns, or ALM’s expander for Pamela’s New Workout, then sequence from within your DAW but many modular artists like to work DAWless. Something like Arturia’s Keystep Pro, or Korg’s SQ-64 are good options. Both offer eight trigger outs and dedicated percussion channels. The main differences are that the Keystep has a keyboard, while the SQ-64 is smaller and lighter. The workflow for both is very similar.
