Of course, the LushOne has slightly non-standard voltages (at least relative to Eurorack norms) which means that a lot of off-the-shelf sequencers need some external adaptors to nicely connect.<\/p>\n<p>I was delighted recently when a customer who had asked about a sequencer sent me a link to the Baby 8 available from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rakits.co.uk\/\">Rakits<\/a> (also in the UK). This little kit is about as close to an ideal beginner\u2019s sequencer for the LushOne as you can get. The output voltages (0V-5V) are compatible with LushOne gate and CV inputs. The power supply voltage is the same as the LushOne and the design is very similar to the \u201call on the PCB\u201d approach in the LushOne. The only things that are different are the board size and the connectors.<\/p>\n<p>For the connectors, I added a mezzanine board on the side (see photo) to make the outputs accessible with 2mm banana plugs. \u00a0In my installation, it doesn\u2019t need an external ground connector because it shares the power supply ground with the rest of the system.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a straight-forward kit to build \u2013 all based on through-hole components. It uses the classic 4017 sequencer concept, but despite this simplicity it has some nice touches \u2013 variable gate pulse width and a gate skip feature on each step. All in all, a nice addition to any LushOne system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I often get asked \u201cis there a sequencer for the LushOne\u201d and the answer, currently, is \u201cno, because I never got around to designing one\u201d.
