The 2500 range of modules give some really interesting insights into the quirky, early days of modular, and the 1050 Mix-Sequencer is no exception. Sure it's a fully functioning eight channel mixer, with volume, mute and solo controls, but once you start clocking a selection of up to eight channels, it gets really interesting. Throw in a second clock signal and two separate sequences can weave up and down the grid, routed to two separate outputs, or both.
Paired with the 1027 Clocked Sequential Control, it can also be used to expand that module to fire off CV sequences of up to 24 steps.
Quite apart from all these inspiring functions, it's a good-looking device, and has all of the functional charm of vintage elevator controls or perhaps a Soviet nuclear power station. What can I say? I like it!
