Arduinquencer

A minimalistic design that packs a punch...

The ArduinQuencer, as its name implies, is an arduino based 4 step square wave sequencer. Each step can be alter with an orange knob, and the yellow knobs control the overall clock speed and "sustain" legnth of each step, respectively. Inspired by the simplistic design and durable construction of children's toys, the ArduinQuencer sports a minimalist control interface and is housed in a sturdy metal enclosure. Finished off with a master volume knob and quarter inch jack output, this unassuming unit can produce a wide variety of stepped patterns. When the rate of the sequence is pushed to its maximum limits, the ArduinQuencer can be used to perform interesting chromatic solos and improvisations.
