Intellijel - Steppy [3U]

4 x 64 Gate Sequencer

Steppy is a 4-track programmable gate sequencer with eight internal memory slots, external clocking, numerous tweakable parameters, and a performance-first design aesthetic.

• Each track features numerous independent parameters that govern its playback independently of the other tracks. Specifically:
• Each track has its own length, which can range from 1-step to 64-steps, allowing for polyrhythms, fills, or constantly evolving gate interactions between tracks.
• Each track has its own gate length, which ranges from very short to very long, with tied gates possible at the extreme setting.
• Each track has its own clock divider, allowing patterns to play out over completely different periods of time.
• Each track has its own swing setting, which offsets the timing of every other step.
• Each track has its own delay setting, which offsets the timing of every step.
• Each track has its own probability control, which sets the likelihood that each programmed gate will fire when called upon by the pattern.
• Each track can be shifted (or ‘rotated’) forward or backward by a number of steps. So if you’ve created a pattern that ‘feels’ like it has its downbeat on step 3, you can shift that pattern two steps to the left, so that the downbeat sits on step 1.

• Tracks can be selected and modified in real time as the sequence plays. A select button allows you to directly access each track (and each page of 16 steps within that track) directly through Steppy’s intuitive multifunction buttons array.

• Tracks can be individually muted and unmuted, and a special performance mode (called “Loopy”) enables you to touch any two gate steps and instantly create a performance that loops between those steps.

• Track patterns can be cleared without clearing its playback parameters, and all track patterns (along with their individual playback and performance parameters) can be saved as a preset to one of eight internal memory slots.
