The 'Right' Sequencer | Modular Composing | Episode 02

Your possibilities to compose on a Modular Synth are directly related to the sequencer you're using. So picking the 'right' sequencer for your work is an important task. Please note Ithe idea is not to do an exhaustive side by side sequencer comparison. I don't have access to all of them. The comparison is on a high level functional scale. A seqencer 'style' if you wish. Your biggest challenge would be to compose or arrange a full song with beats, bass, lead and maybe even chords. I thought it would be fun to use Kraftwerk's 1976 Trans-Europe Express as a 'benchmark', but it turned out a big challenge. It has a simple rhythm (no problem), a super simple bass, a lead and the characteristic 'note ladder' that jumps 5 semitones each 1/2 note. This takes 128 regular steps and sequencers ususally stop at 16, 32 or 64 (if you're lucky). Clock divisions could take care of that. But the song transposes to a different key when the 'note stairs' plays and you'll need a powerful sequencer to transpose all voices to a new key and then turn back. Ground Control and Westlicht Performer couldn't pull it off. I had zero knowledge of NerdSeq at the beginning of this video, but it turned out to be the only sequencer I know of that can do a full song. It's an incredible sequencer/tracker, but it also has a 100+ page manual. Sequencers roughly come in three flavors: linear, cartesian and arbitrary. The most useful sequencers can do drums, strict patterns and generative parts. I've included Five12 Vector and Eloquencer in my overview, but I have no experience with them. My 'findings' in this video are biased by my own music and workflow and I double-checked the manuals of modules I don't know. It's possible I overlooked some features. I am aware Vector can do drums, but I felt you'd need a dedicated drum pattern editor to qualify as a drum sequencer. 00:00 Song Structure 00:22 Trans-Europe Express (TEE) - Ground Control 01:45 TEE - Westlicht Performer 02:48 TEE - XOR NerdSEQ 04:54 Separation of rhythm and melody - Metron & Bloom 07:30 Linear, Cartesian and Arbitrary sequencing 08:22 Generative Sequencing - NerdSEQ 09:44 Generative Sequencing - Bloom 10:42 Generative Sequencing - Westlicht Performer 11:25 Generatice Sequencing - Rene MK2 13:17 Arbitrary Sequencing - Frap Tools USTA 14:54 Melodicer short 15:18 Metropolis Family short 16:31 Scorecards Trans-Europe Express & It's more fun to Compute composed by Ralf Hütter und Florian Schneider
