Introducing the 2500 Series Clocked Sequential Control Module 1027
For some, the ARP 2500 might be the holy grail of synthesizer history. Definitely rare, extremely impressive in its dimensions, sonically overwhelming and then as now a unique specimen. Built from 1970 to 1981, this dinosaur of analog synthesizers looks very tidy despite its modularity implemented throughout, thanks to the router system used. Behringer has reduced the modules to the compact Eurorack format and meticulously kept to the historical originals both functionally and sonically.
The Clocked Sequential Control Module 1027 from Behringer is an analog sequencer with three parallel running rows of8 steps each. With this you could control the pitch of an oscillator, modulate the filter and dose the volume of a VCA at the same time. Thanks to the internal clock generatorthe module can run autonomously, furthermore the pulse width of the stepwise output Gates is manually adjustable and -like the clock- modulable via CV.
The gates out per (8) steps on this sequencer are a real game changer, used in conjunction with the 1050 mix-sequencer, you can use the gate out on say step 1 to move that along, creating longer (upto 24 step) sequences. I've also used this module to trigger 3 notes each step (i.e. as a chord sequencer). One tip when using it in this way is to only trigger envelopes (Using the gates out) on the odd numbers, and program only 4 chords, with steps 1&2, 3&4, 5&6 and 7&8 paired with the same notes - this way you'll be able to hear the envelope release on the even steps.
A great product, buy it in conjunction with 1050 and you wont be disappointed!
