Re Probability - Slight correction. If it's modeled after the Elektron probability then the ratios X:Y are 'play this step on the Xnd of every Y bars' or '1st of every 3 bars' etc. This has the effect of giving the pattern a longer feel since a 1 bar pattern can have steps that play only every X bars. The X% ones are a weighted coin toss every time the step comes up.
There are some little things, but personally I am super happy even as it is, because of the workflow. The only thing that bugs me is that I cant clear the whole pattern at once currently, but I can get around that with copy/paste of an empty pattern. Plus I was insured by Raivo from Erica, that they are working on ironing out the bugs. I believe them - this is a really solid company and having such an incredible machine, I could not imagine them abandoning the development now. I am pretty sure it will grow and they will add functions just like it is happening with Eloquencer.
I do not doubt they are working hard on this and will get things ironed out. I love every Erica module I own. Also love everything I know of the build quality and work flow of this module. It would fulfill all of my trigger needs! Unfortunately some of the bugs have to do with sync so I will wait until they fix a few things before buying. Thanks for the great demos/reviews!
This appears to be the sequencer I have been waiting for in Eurorack. I have an Eloquencer but much of my music is percussive and I'm mostly using the gate outs only. I do wish there were 2 CV outs, but it's not the end of the world. I had a Cirklon for some time, and this reminds me of that. I loved it but it was huge and under-utilized by me. I understand that the new Erica drum modules can be triggered without patch cables from this too. I wonder if other drums can be triggered that way? Anyway, I ordered a Drum Sequencer last night. Thank you for posting this. Very helpful and well explained video.
ARRR man I want to get into Eurorack But this sequencer and the Box alone is already setting me back About 1000 EUR and haven't even bought any Sound Modules ...
Every time i come back here I just have to admit that this sequencer does all I want for my Drums. I guess once the muscle memory kicks in, it gets a mental instrument.. The reason i hesitated for a long time to get this module is the muff-discussions -> there seem to be an awful lot of little bugs. Have you experienced these? And how severe are they? I mean, in a live situation I need stability without compromise.. Thank you for this awesomely informative video.
To be honest I have not been using it for few months now, cause I am preparing a live set that evolves around Eloquencer. Also I am waiting for all the fixes and updated that guys from Erica Synths are doing but as I see on the muff forum its constantly updated, so I am really excited about it, as I will def come back to DS and use it for other things.
Hi, fantastic test...thank you. I habe one question about midi/sync. I use a electron digitakt to sequence all my synths and now i like to cnnect my modular drums with the elektron. The erica sequencer would worke in slave mode. Does it work? Thx
Nice review. Thank you ! I have few questions as mine is coming. The red stripe goes to the -12V (dont see it in the manual) and does the new firmeware fix the bugs you had ? Thanks :-)
I dont think You can change it. I have an early unit - like one of the first units to leave the factory, so it just might be different batch and led colours.
why god why would they make such a great device and then only put one channel of cv gate. like if this had just even 2 channels of cv you could do so much :< :( :[ :{
I get that your demonstrating the sequencer but wow man, that sounded awful and was incredibly annoying. I couldn't watch it all. Surely if your going to make YT demos about gear you have to at least give some consideration to the ears of the viewer. So annoying I couldnt watch all the video.
