MIDI Sequencer advice

[Jeff Livingston]

I'm looking for a dirt cheap 16 note MIDI step sequencer.  Prefer it to be a
standalone unit, but racks are okay too.  Any ideas?

Gotta definition of "dirt cheap"?

A Future Retro Mobius goes for around $300 these days.

The last few I've seen have been more like $450-$500.  But if I could find a
Mobius for $300, I'd buy it.  Anything else $250 or less?

I'm selling my Paia 2700/4700 mixed system for $650 obo + shipping. It is featured in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCKeenZI5yU 

I will add in my FR Mobius seen in the video to the deal for another $400. I will not sell the Mobius seperately at this time

The Paia system will include DIY pin cables and DIY pin to bannana cables.  I will also include a number of pin connectors that you can use to make your own cables.  As you can see in the video, the system works and easily integrates with other modular synth equipment using an MOTM patch panel. There may be individual modules that don't work 100%. I do know that one of the waveforms on one of the 3 oscillators will not output. I do not know of any other issues, but I may not have tried every combination.

It has a Transposer module that is great fun. It is the module I use in the video to tune the 3 oscillators to an interval. I don't see this module often.
 
I take Paypal.  I will ship to most of the world.

I've been working with him a bit on trying to fixup the issue where the
link you get in a topic notification email won't take you to the last post
you saw in a topic.

I think he's trying to install the PHP patch I sent him.

I've banged on about this unit numerous times => Roland EF303

http://www.rolandclan.com/library/ef-303/

Like an ARP Sequencer. Don't pay more the 200 bucks for one.  I paid
less than 100 pounds but that might be before the cat got out of the bag
;)  (probably that was me!)

Here's a demo I made a while ago.

http://strellis.com/Download/EF303/Syn_Bass.mp3

That's using the on board DSP TB303 sound engine but you'd use the MIDI
out :D

Cheers

I love the sq16, but it is set up for drums mainly, rather than synths.

It only has 3 note tracks, and changing the notes is a little tedious.  The other 13 tracks are drum hits (or single note) tracks.
It may be 4 note tracks (i havent owned one for a while) but certainly the majority are pre-set notes.

The mam is also a love it or hate it device.  It has no real screen (just a multisegment display) and a lot of the navigation points
are multi-button presses.  Great when youve learnt it, as its a lot quicker for navigation than some menu driven device, but can be
irritating for some to learn.

If youre looking for x0x style drum programming, its great - swap tracks etc without hitting stop, just like the 606, but for
programming melodies, id really look elsewhere : )


Thanks,
Julian

So does anyone have a Mobius they'd be willing to sell an eager AHer for
$250?

Price reduction.  $600 or best offer + shipping for the PAIA.  The Mobius will be added for an additional $350 if you want both.
