Gem

Gem

Binary Sequencer

 

Gem: Binary Sequencer

The heart of Gem is a 12 bit Linear Frequency Shift Register (LFSR)

The 12 points represent a binary number which is then scaled to create a note value

 

 

Gem: Binary Sequencer

Every step rotates the binary sequence by 1, changing the note output

The sequence can be played either every step or as a euclidean pattern

Alan – A Proper Turing Machine

Alan

A Proper Turing Machine

 

Modeled after Tom Whitwell's amazing Turing Machine eurorack module

A random looping binary sequencer built around a shift register

You can't 'control' it but you can guide it, and when you're close you can freeze it

The original generates gate, cv and noise, Alan generates notes

New in v1.1.0:

Theme responsive UI - Gets darker/lighter with your chosen Live Theme

Improved Dial behaviour - now doubles sequence length before 12 O'Clock

Improved Linear Frequency Shift Register behaviour

K-Teck's Scale Scan module has been re-written and includes 127 Scales

A Proper Turing Machine

Sarn Elen showcases many of the features available in K-Teck’s commercial sequencers

In fact, you may never need another sequencer

Features include:

  • Sample accurate clock with extensive division and reset possibilities
  • 8 step Velocity and Duration sequencers
  • 32 step maximum Euclidean Sequencer
  • K-Teck’s brand new, updated Scale Scan module – which quantises note output in a new way, featuring 20 scales (127 in commercial offerings – not all of which have this yet)
  • All controls are available to Live’s automation and are MIDI mappable
  • A nice, theme responsive UI which gets darker with darker Live themes

I think that if you like Sarn Elen, you will love my other offerings

Current version - Sarn Elen 3.0.0 - 8th September 2023

What is a Scale Scanning Sequencer?

  • Sarn Elen 2 loads a musical scale
  • Sarn Elen 2's clock counts around the steps of the 'euclidean' circle
  • When the count  encounters a 'hit' on the circle, a trigger is sent to the scale scanner
  • These triggers step through the intervals of the scale
  • For the Harmonic Minor that would be notes 0, 2, 3, 5 ,7, 8 and 11 of an Octave
  • Sarn Elen 2's triggers can skip through the scale in increments of 1, 2, 3 or 4 notes
  • So for harmonic minor in 3s that would be 0, 5, 11, 3, 8, 2, 7  and back to 0 again
  • Sarn Elen 2 has several other new tricks up her sleeve
  • Download now and see for yourself

 

 

What is a 'Euclidean' Sequencer?

  • Euclid's algorithm calculates the Greatest Common Divisor of 2 integers
  • In electronic music it is used to fill a number of empty steps (#Steps) with events (#Hits)
  • Sarn Elen 2's 'Euclidean' section controls a gate which allows notes to pass to the output
  • All controls are MIDI mappable and automatable - no more drawing in notes

Iosif – Interference Pattern Step Sequencer

Iosif

Interference Pattern Step Sequencer

Iosif: Makes Machine Music -

A new way to step sequence.

Easily create extended, complex melodies from just three numbers

Iosif combines 2 innovative techniques to create monophonic melodies

  • 3*integer Interference Pattern generates complex, evolving rhythms
  • K-Teck's latest advanced Scale Scanning module to apply melody to the rhythm

Iosif makes machine music beautiful

 

Iosif features:

Iosif can generate complex, nearly-non-repeating rhythms

To do this Iosif generates a series of Trigger Pulses from an ‘Interference Pattern’ formed by the interactions of 3 numbers 

These 3 numbers control 3 looping Pattern Counters

Every time a Pattern Counter resets a note is triggered in the Scale Scan Module

The Scale Scanner is new for v1.2.0 with 128 mostly new scales and leaner code

 

 

About Iosif:

Iosif uses Joseph Schillinger's interference pattern concept to generate complex rhythms

Iosif has very few controls - don't let that deceive you

Iosif is easily the most powerful monophonic step sequencer K-Teck has released

Every control can be automated by Live - clip or arrangement automation

Every control can be modulated by another Max for Live device like an LFO or K-Teck's Paul sequencer

In short - if you like step sequencers you'll love Iosif
