Id like to expand my setup with some toys and am looking into hardware sequencers

Cheapest i found is the arturia beatstep, maybe there are some other cheap ones which are good


In any case, what i want to do with it is to control pitch in HZ not by note data.

Is it in any way possible to do this with a hardware sequencer and for example ableton?

 

Hans Zimmer? Oh, *Hz (Heinrich Hertz)!

Korg SQ1? cheaper than the beat step.

herz my timeless friend

genious app to control cv hardware, what i want is to control software with with more then 12 pitches per octave. Simply Hz if thats even possible

 

You can buy a Behringer BCR2000 and put a Zaquencer.
But I recommend Squarp Pyramid, not cheap, but ultra mega powerfull.

 

Now that is serioulsy cool, but the firmware costs more then a used BCR
Will still consider it as this is way better then a beatstep

Still, one wish remains, can i sequence "out of tune" frequencies? Like not constricted to 88 steps of MIDI notes.
Guess its not possible but id like to ask

 

@spacetime You can find the Zaquencer on the sister site to try. It quite powerful tool but still works with MIDI notes.

For more serious budget there are

AS Oberkorn
Sequentrix Cirklon
Koma Electronik KOMPLEX Sequencer

yes i know about that koma komplex

thing looks seriously addictive

 

Another: Social Entropy - Engine
But take a look Squarp Pyramid, It is more than it seems.

 

Enropy Engine seems great, but ill rather firmware that behringer

That pyramid thing is really not my cup of tea, nor that rectangly design

 

@zukunft looks interesting.. you own and use this piece of kit ?

 

Unfortunately not today. I bought PYRAMID when it went on sale and I was enjoying it until recently.
For reasons of my life, I have sold all the hardware ....
For my PYRAMID is great, beastly, you can do everything.
Although it has a rectangly design, I do not care.
