Corry BanksAt Knobcon 2016, I had a chance to lay hands on, or at least get the scoop on, a few products that I’ve been following. One such product is the Kilpatrick Audio Carbon Sequencer. I’ve followed closely since Kilpatrick Audio erected the crowdfunding movement for it a while back.
At Knobcon 2016, I stopped by the booth and got a really cool in depth run through. I didn’t get a chance to record an exclusive presentation for Carbon at Knobcon (my fault… too busy networking, enjoying and partaking in the music tech nerdery). At any rate, I figured I’d at least share a few of Kilpatrick’s videos and the IG pics that I captured.
None the less, stay tuned for the BBoyTech Carbon review. I am in queue for a demo unit once orders have been fulfilled.
As described by Kilpatrick Audio, “CARBON is primarily designed as a pattern-based sequencer. It has six tracks which can each hold 64 steps. Steps can be generated randomly, edited interactively, or recorded from a MIDI keyboard one step at a time, or in real time while the sequencer is running. Polyphony and CC recording is supported so each step can contain chords or other performance data”
Check out the back I/O.
- Analog clock and reset outputs (0V/+5V)
- Four CV outputs (-5V to +5V – 1V/octave digitally calibrated)
- Four gate outputs (0V/+5V)
- Two MIDI output ports (separately assignable)
- MIDI input port
- USB host port – provides up to 500mA to power USB controllers
- USB device port – connects to PC or Mac for use as a MIDI interface and controller
- Power switch
- DC input jack
Carbon Sequencer is a powerhouse for sure. (sigh… why don’t they make sampler /drum machines like this?)
