Vortex Sequencer - Controlling Volca Bass, FM, NTS-1 and Roland S1 with Launchpad via Teensy 4.1

1

The Vortex Sequencer takes 4 ordinary 64 step sequences and twists them onto a vortex. By choosing shapes on the Launchpad interesting sequences are produced with weird sounding “Bars”.

In this example the Orange sequence is the Volca Bass, the Green sequence is the Volca FM, Blue is the Korg NTS-1 and Pink is the Roland S-1

Pressing a central pad toggles a random note in the current key on or off. To save time the pads along the bottom make patterns. There are 4 bars per synth but I only used 1 per synth in this example.

Everything is controlled by a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller in the black box on the left.

Welcome back to the forum!

This is awesome! Really love how you put a new spin on sequencing with the whole vortex concept. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Guys.

@ahsrab292840 I think about $300 but I have used this set up for 10s of projects. The changes are in the programming of the Teensy which is fun!

@Pixmusix Thanks Jonny. Appreciate your enthusiasm.

@Ryan I have been lurking a bit… I just need to think of something worthwhile to do. mmm
