Audiowerkstatt Mini-MIDI-Step-Sequencer Now Available

Superbooth16 is just 3 days away... and there' such a buzz about it, with so many big and small manufacturers getting involved. One of these, audiowerkstatt have an announcement that'll be available to demo in Berlin.

The audiowerkstatt mini-midi-step-seq is a MIDI-sequencer (no gate/CV), which is based on a classic analog step-sequencer:

• Programming with potentiometers (no endless-dial and no detent)!
• Only one track!
• No pattern-storage!
• No internal clock (only usable as MIDI-slave)!
• No display!

It is optimized for live use, especially jam-sessions, but can also be used to give you new ideas, if you are stuck in your main sequencer.
