Hi all,

i want to share with you one of the craziest project i' ve ever did!

I had a broken mixer in my workshop waiting to be repaired for years...
a few months ago i got the idea to build a step sequencer for my 5U modular;
I did not need the mixer at the end, from there I got the crazy idea that the mixer could be the step sequencer !!
it took me about 6 months to complete and solve the many problems that I had, i reused the original card with all its knobs and switches along with the front panel, the most difficult part of the work was the tracks cutting!
I had so many problems with ground plane contacts ecc. bui i'm glad everything work as expected now, this is my new toy Very Happy
5 X 8 analog step sequencer with 2 Gate lines + Arduino based quantized CV output with display control.

Based on Ken Stone analog gate sequencer : http://www.cgs.synth.net/modules/gate_sequencer2.html
