uSEQ by Emute Lab Instruments

Posted on by

The uSEQ is an 8HP Eurorack module that introduces live coding into modular synthesizer systems. Developed by Emute Lab Instruments, it serves as a highly flexible control-rate voltage generator and processor, allowing users to (re)define its behavior instantly through live coding. This approach enables real-time creation and manipulation of sequences, LFOs, and other complex modulation signals directly within a modular setup. ​

Feature List:

  • Open Source: Both hardware and software are open source, encouraging customization and community-driven development.
  • DIY-Friendly: Whether from scratch or from the available full DIY kit, it is accessible to enthusiasts interested in building and modifying their own modules.
  • Designed for Live Coding: Program the module’s behavior in real-time using ModuLisp, a custom and streamlined LISP-inspired language designed specifically for musical composition and performance, or choose from pre-configured modes.
  • Versatile I/O: Equipped with 2 CV inputs, 2 gate inputs, 3 CV outputs, and 3 gate outputs, it can process or generate control-rate CV & gate signals for sequencing and modulation, using either internal or external clocks.
  • Interactive Controls: Features two rotary encoders (acting as attenuverters when CV inputs are connected), a momentary push-button, and a 3-way toggle switch for hands-on control and performance.
  • USB Connectivity: Can receive code from any USB-C capable device and can operate independently once programmed, retaining functionality through power cycles.
