Mikado Sequencer

Analog Sequencer

Description: The picture of the front panel above you may notice the rather colorful aspect of the banana jacks...well, it turned out a little more colorful that I thought, and while I don't like the way it looks, well, I am too lazy to pull the jacks off and be a little more conservative. What I had hoped to accomplish was to make it easier for me to figure out which jack did which job....well, I failed....but thems is the breaks.

This is a project that I am doing with Jim Johnson. It is a pretty involved circuit that is basically an analog sequencer on steroids.

The plan has been changed just a little bit. To save time, I have ended up putting the sequencer on three boards.

Board #1 contains the 8x2 sequencer and the quantizer. To make the full system, you will need two of these cards.

Board #2 Contains the Midi Interface, Master Clock, the Dividers, and Logic.

Board #3 Contains the Patern Generator, Analog Switches, One Shot, Transposer and Power Supply.

The current status is that the boards should go out for a prototype run near the end of April. The plan is for the first prototype unit to be completed by the end of May.
