The Catalyst Sequencer combines a traditional clocked step-sequencer with an unconventional phase-based sequencer to produce a new paradigm in sequencing. Eight precision CV sequencer channels can be simultaneously driven by a clock, a phase CV, or scrubbed manually with the crossfader.
Each of the eight channels has its own sequence length, quantizer, transposition, clock divider, randomization, voltage range (max -5V to +10V), and selectable CV (precise 16-bit resolution) or Gate mode.
Phase-based sequencing is an advanced form of sequencing where each step is
selected by CV. The Catalyst Sequencer has a smooth, responsive crossfader that
scrubs the sequence, playing it forward or backwards to track your motions. Patching
in a CV signal will do the same: a ramp-up CV plays the sequence forwards, a ramp-
down plays it backwards, a triangle plays it ping-pong, and complex waveforms
generate new interesting rhythmic and melodic patterns.
Two modules in one!
The Catalyst Sequencer can turn into a Catalyst Controller, and vice-versa! Hold down a special button combination to change between sequencer and macro controller modes. If you end up buying one module but liking the other one more, you can remove the double-sided faceplate, flip it over, and re-install with the other artwork visible.
Based on the original Catalyst module from Emblematic Systems.
