Medic Modules EKG Elektro Kardiogramm – Unique 8 Step Analogue Sequencer

this sequencer has some features of the Intellijel Metropolis and Ryk 185, but there’s these longer faders seems a 2-module sequencer so – you need more room for this.. since it reads like Oberkorn / Analogue Solutions – they had this Oberkorn Version which also needs more room compared to the pot-version.. anyway.. the special thing is – timing can be set and position as well in a way.. so – this seems one of the new school cooler ones..

Matthias asked me also what the „electro“ people might like so I was well aware of it to come to life sooner or later, the circular 32 step design isn’t the only good thing, it’s about details, so here’s the first 2 video tutorials what it is all about.. the coder is Thomas Gost, a very quick intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USlz4PwwBUg (this video can not be embedded, so this is just a link) –…
