TRAX RS-1 Rota-Synth Analogue Sequencer & Synthesizer Part 2

This is the second demonstration video for the TRAX RS-1 Rota-Synth, a new 8-step analogue sequencer which incorporates a monophonic, true analogue synthesizer.

In this part, the Glide control is explored, the sequence length is altered by setting a 7-position rotary switch, steps are added and removed using the toggle step switches, and we show the different effects available when the VCO is frequency modulated by the Low Frequency Oscillator. This has a waveshape control, for more modulation possibilities.

The only external effect used here is reverb.

Because te RS-1 isn't a DIY project, we don't make schematics generally available, but if you want to build something similar, there are lots of circuits avialable free on the net - a quick search for "synthesizer schematics" will bring some good ones up.

Yes, you can use the midi clock from computer programs like Ableton, Fruityloops, etc. to synchronise the sequence to your recorded tracks, through the Midi Sync. input (you will also need a USB to Midi lead, which is easily available online).

If you just want to sync. to a keyboard, drum machine or similar with midi clock output, you will not need the extra lead.

can any one tell me if u can triger it using an external sequencer i.e. ableton many thanks!

Just bought one of these on eBay & it`s fantastic, getting some serious sounds from it, you`ve got to make a drone machine as well :0) Fantastic Machine :0)
