Who here uses them? I'm researching which one to get but it's a little overwhelming having never even touched one. Does anybody have any suggestions?? I mainly just want it to sequence, not to sample or have a ton of internal drum/synth sounds - though from what i've read it looks like 2 of 3 of those characteristics typically go hand in hand. the alesis mmt8 looks fresh but hard to find... Is there something fairly similar?? |

I don't know nothing about sequencing, but your signature photo reminds me of this: |

one smart monkey right there. how do you open a beer bottle without a bottle opener? |

the mmt8 is not hard to find. it's also very cheap! however they have a reputation for getting a bit flimsy in their old age (mine is, for example). it's not the worlds most advanced sequencer, but it's nice for what it is. the ensoniq esq1 is similiar to it. I used to have an MPC, so you could look into that as well. I didn't really dig it, but it's powerful. there is also the yamaha qy-series. I wanna try one of those one day. for more info about the mmt8 and esq1, ask the Fahmeister. |

I think Russel McDust uses hardware sequencers, or maybe he uses hardware tone generators and software sequencers, I dunno, ask him. |

retape: yes and yes cwnt: and yes Those are all really nice sequencers to look into. Also check on the Roland sequencers, the MC series. I quite liked the MC-4, but that was only CV Gate (but with a LOAD of options!), don't know what you're really aiming for. The ESQ-1 is basically 8 synthesizers in one package that comes with the sequencer (which also has step sequence, if you prefer that), and the MMT8 is small, and really really easy to use but is mainly just for recording midi to 8 tracks and sequencing them into songs, it doesn't really have step sequence for instance (you can change the notes you've entered later on but i found this a bit tedious). Want to know how easy the MMT8 is? The manual is printed inside the small door on top of the MMT8 :D That's all the manual you need! |

wow that video is outstanding! THanks all! Yeah the QY10 is another one on my list... Fah: I've been using reason forever but i hate using it in a live setting, so i basically want a main hardware sequencer that i can patch a couple of flexible synths/drum machines into. I'm good to go for the most part on the synths/dm end but I can't wrap my head around which sequencer to get... I don't think a huge expensive MPC type thing is ideal cuz i don't care about sampling or internal synths/drums... So i guess a more advanced version of an MMT8, or possibly the MMT8 is the one i want? Is there something close to MMT8 with step sequencer??? |

haha sorry i realized i'm talking myself through this as i post questions, ugh |

the yamaha rm1x has an outstanding sequencer, shame about the rest of it really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

to me it sounds like you'd like the mmt8, or the esq1 (or ableton live). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i have ableton.. but again i wanna try to avoid having a computer on stage until it becomes inevitable i guess. anybody familiar with the orb by futureretro? http://www.future-retro.com/orboverview.html its one of the only newer brands i can find that is basically a standalone sequencer |

consider a second hand monomachine - midimachines. |

I've used the MMT8 live to trigger vst instruments on my lappytop, works very well actually. You can just easily switch tracks on and off, three at the same time or just all of em (if you have 8 fingers free at that moment), switch around between sequences etc, record midi controls. |

roland mc500 you could find maybe for 20 quid |

It seems like a lot of em are monophonic, but it's not always specified... I think i might go with the qy100 cuz i need something polyphonic |

the qy 100 is lovely but it requires you to work a bit. I love it. |

I just picked this up, Pretty cool. I'm just having an issue with looping in SONG mode. There seems to be a millisecond delay before the step sequence starts again, have you experienced this? Does another device need to be the master clock in order for it to work properly? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IT works fine in pattern mode, I guess song mode just isn't ideal for looping :P |

i have a mpc 2500 and it bassass for sequencing!!! you can do so much with it!! |

Using hardware is overwhelmingly nuts because there are too many possibilities. I got a machinedrum and it's fucking brilliant as a sequencer!!!!!!!! I almost need two now, one for drums and one as a sequencer brain. I think. |

How many possibilities are there with software? How many possibilities are there with hardware? Forget analogue signal paths as you obvioulsey have. |

YO CHILL OUT DOG! I Get overwhelmed easily! It's a weakness of mine I am aware of that menus really overwhelm me holy crap, i get all nervous when i go to subway and i haven't had ample time to think about it and there's someone in line in front and behind so u are on the spot. it's a big line too so u can't ditch out or u'll miss lunch altogether. I do find that with software it is a lot easier to start making sounds without having much knowledge of what to do, whereas hardware you ideally should have somewhat of an idea of what you are doing! Especially cuz it can be costly! |
