www.rakits.co.uk/product/baby8-sequencer/I’ve had this for about 9 months and it’s a really cool sequencer. I’m sequencing my modded Korg Monotron Duo. Also I used Monotron Delay, but I accidentally fried it. Also the Baby 8 sequenced a bleep labs pico paso, but I broke that one too. The Baby can receive gate clock, so it can be synced with you midi sequencer. I sent a clock sample from my Digitakt’s right output for sync. I’m looking to get into AE modular since I’m into jumper wires. Looks like a cool forum and I’ve always like Tuesday night machines’ videos.

Interesting device...the standoffs make it look very similar to an AE module outside the case. Also looks very modifiable so that the CV and clock connectors plus the below-panel switches could potentially be relocated to the upper surface during the build. The voltages are compatible, and it apparently likes 9V, although we lose our 9V at the MASTER to drop to 5V.
Hmm...Robert might want a word with these guys about perhaps making an AE-compliant version. It's pretty close as it is, with just some changes to the panel setup (ie: pots on the underside, the above-noted connection/switch changes, etc) really being the only major alterations to fitting it under an AE panel. And it would be nice to have a second type of CV sequencer to act as an ancillary to the SEQ16, to say nothing of having another manufacturer getting an AE format module on the market. Could be useful!

I was looking into this one for quite some time, but then decided to DIY one myself. And instead of having 8 steps - ended up with having 10 step sequencer with ability to adjust the length of a sequence, just no ability to run backwards, etc. But you can output individual steps.  However, regarding to 9V input, you can purchase a simple step-up voltage buck converter from eBay or any other shopping platform, to get from 5V to 9V, altho, maybe actually this thing might even work with 5V input (but i haven't checked the specs, so just guessing). |

Looks like a cool forum and I’ve always like Tuesday night machines’ videos. Thank you It’s a really cool forum here indeed! The voltages are compatible, and it apparently likes 9V, although we lose our 9V at the MASTER to drop to 5V. The build documentation lists all the parts and there is a simple 9V to 5V regulator and ICs that all work with 5V. www.rakits.co.uk/assembly-guides/baby8-assembly-guide/I assume they make the kit run on 9V because it’s easy and safe with a battery and also because guitar pedal kits are also popular and there are lots of 9V power supplies. So we could most probably just leave the regulator away and connect it to our regulated internal AEM 5V. |

thats the one i've soldered! However, on some schematics i found it with all individual outputs levelled with BC547 (or similar) transistors, to get more gain on the output. But I've soldered without and in most cases it works just fine. What's also cool about it you can output individual steps, whereas Rakit's baby8 I believe is unable to do that. My next project - to solder two or three more of those 10 step sequencers in order to have a massive sort of euclidian-type sequencer. But - it requires a lot of patience and time to solder it all, so have to wait for that day. |

I was close to ordering a few of them to try and get some fast paced groovebox. I was thinking dfam behavior and a sequencer for pitch, vca, res and one or two more for other destination like env attack. I'd probably want a lot of envelopes. I find sequencers very time saving to find variations I want.

Hi Guys,
I am short before releasing a 8-step sequencer (2 units wide) for AE modular! it is intended as a new module for the 2-row standard systems and as replacement for the TRIQ164, because a CV sequencer makes more sense with the configuration of the starter racks. (Has to do with the history / beginning of AE.)
This new SEQ8 will have the same functionality like the SEQ16 (pots act as selectors of a number of pre-set CVs), but will ofer also the raw CV determined by the pot position.

...but the baby 8 is a perfect project for AE DIY; the used chips are included in the BRAEDBOARD components kit.
