4 channel Sequencer

Plugins & Modules

Is there a sequencer with 5 channels, and 5 knobs for each channel, perhaps like this 3 channel sequencer but with 2 more channels?

i tried searching… cant find anything.

wondering does anyone care to share patch ideas for achieving this goal using some modules chained/linked together etc? i’m seeing a lot of possibilties, wondering what could be most efficient

Nysthi Squonk is pretty cool, turn it on its side.

its too bad i can’t change the output values of the five channels on squonk to be basic 0-5v. i guess the only way is routing each one through a scaler huh

im having trouble figuring out the SEL cv input on Squonk! it seems to go through the 12 steps no matter how i scale or offset my ramp lfo, i dont understand the behavior. i can set the scale to 30 percent or 100 percent on the ramp LFO (Bog 4FO) and it doesnt change the range at all of squonk…

i’m trying to easily change how many steps its sequencing through by turning a midi knob set to SCALE of the ramp LFO… can anyone help me? @synthi

1V is 12 steps(notes) so 10% on ramp LFO should give you 12 steps and 5% should give you 6.

Not quite sure I understand what you’re after, but we have modules like this (6 channels):

This 16 Step Sequencer plus 4 Channel Expanders will give you a 5 channel sequencer:

You can try and find a module/sequencer that does exactly what you need.

  • There are various sequencers in VCV Rack, that offer more then 3 channels/rows (multiple 16 channel/row options).
  • There are various sequencers in VCV Rack, that offer more then 8 steps (multiple 64 step options).
  • Some modules support expanders, like several @CountModula sequencers, that add ‘rows’ to a ‘master’ module/sequencer. No cables needed to connect them.
  • There is even support for polyphonic sequences of unlimited length (Squinky Labs Seq++).

But…if you can’t find the right module…

The beauty of modular is that you can create your own structures/solutions, including sequencers, using basic components.

Generalizing:

  • You can run as many sequencers as needed in parallel (as many as your machine can handle).
  • You can sync all individual sequencers/channels, generally using a common clock source.
  • You can combine up to 16 channels into a polyphonic cable (e.g. using VCV Merge), e.g. to drive a polyphonic voice.
  • There are various ways to extend the amount of steps of any individual sequence(r). Mostly by sequentially chaining sequence(r)s.
  • You can go as far as to construct your own sequencer using basic building blocks…

Thanks! when i do 10 percent it cycles thru the 12 steps in order. when i do 5 percent, it does steps 1, 2, and 3, and then skips to 10, 11, 12. why is this? should i be using a ramp that goes from 0-1 instead of negative to positive or something?

Yes keep it unipolar.

What about having several seq in //, clocked with the same Clock, and synched with a Reset from the main Clock?

thats what i landed on! Squonk was too weird for my use in this patch. ended up with the bog sequencer and programmer expanders
