Manufacturer's description
NEXUS SEQ is a playable sequencer built around a fundamental creation workflow starting with short ideas like riffs, adding variations or tweaks to create medium sized ideas or phrases, then further elaborating for even longer phrases or song sections.
NEXUS SEQ can be played like an instrument live lending itself to many happy accidents and performative musical moments. Recording these discoveries is easy.
NEXUS SEQ has two independent sequencers named ‘MN’ and ‘PQ’, each with 2 CV lanes for a total of 4 CV outputs. One sequencer can also be set to sequence the other making it easy to transpose song sections, add variations, or to create complex polyrhythmic patterns.
NEXUS SEQ reuses floating voltage presets called ‘knob sets’ (each dual concentric knob pair) that can be placed at any step in a sequence. This means the user only has to set one knob for any steps you want to sound the same. This reuse concept also opens up many performance tricks.
Big human sized keys are fast, quiet, and fun.
Each sequencer has individual glide time and glides can be enabled and stored per step. Sequencer lane P also has per-step octave up/down.
Each sequencer lane’s output voltage can be set with ranges of 2V, 5V, or 10V and each can be set to to negative, bipolar, or positive polarities. This allows users to maximise knob tunability and ranging for any target destination.
NEXUS SEQ also makes an excellent gate and rhythm sequencer with the NSX Gate Expander which opens up provisions for jammable rests, gate length, note repeat, and VeloGates (gates with variable amplitude) as well as keyboard on/off style gate outputs.
Features
- Simple 1:1 interface is easy to use and understand. No menu diving, no encoders, no screens just knobs, switches, and buttons. To create sequences, jam buttons, turn knobs, set length, record
- Two independent sequencers, each with 2 CV lane pairs for a total of 4 CV outputs. Each CV lane has dedicated polarity and range switches
- Lanes ‘M’ and ‘P’ each have independent glide times and glides can be enabled on any step
- Lane ‘P’ with per-step octave up and octave down
- Record/overdub sequences live or enter them in offline step-by-step
- 9 sequence slots to store and load sequences with quick copy-paste
- Big buttons with high-end Cherry Silent Black switches to encourage live performance and reliable recording
- Sequencers MN and PQ with their own RESET and CLOCK inputs
- Sequence a sequencer method via P Sum mode switch allowing users to use the MN sequencer to sequence the P sequencer
- Long life dual concentric conductive plastic pots increase feature density with no compromise in ergonomics
- Edge-based clocking (you can send it any clock and it will respond immediately)
- Ultra high performance and resolution - entirely analogue CV circuitry with precision trimmed octaves and negligibly low jitter (< 5us) and latency (< 50us).
- NSX expansion available for unique gate length and rhythm sequencing using the same jam-record paradigm
- Low loss, high speed active reverse voltage protection, overcurrent protection, ESD and overvoltage protection on all IO
- Easy, no-fuss multi-platform USB firmware updates
- Overkill ARM7 CPU capable of 600MHz, USB, SD card, I2C, etc. for future-proof software expansion
- Width: 32HP
- Power: 12.00VDC (nominal), (+11.95V, -11.95V (min)) @ 150mA + and 50mA - (average)
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Shipping to mainland EU typically costs between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD, Royal Mail and Parcelforce for the UK, and for international orders it's either DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or Parcelforce depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we aim to dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Since April 2020, the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer. There is absolutely nothing we can do about this, unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
