Make Noise – BRAINS

Make Noise just announced a product that a couple of friends and I helped beta test, BRAINS. When combined with Pressure Points (1 or 2 chained together), it turns the pressure sensitive controller into a 4 or 8 step sequencer that utilizes the touch plates for performance orientated patterns. If you have a Doepfer A-151 sequential switch, the pattern length can go up to 24 steps with 2 Pressure Points. Don’t forget that Pressure Points also has gate outs making it a feature heavy sequencer. It features some strange things that I’ve never seen in a sequencer controller such as the Touch-Clock which, among many things, quantizes your interaction with the Pressure Points plates to an incoming clock so you’re always triggering on time. The standard sequencer modes are here as well such as Reset, Run, and Direction.

    Mine’s ordered.
    Can you elaborate on how the a-151 would be used with it? I have an a-152, so I’m assuming the same deal would apply for it. Are you saying that each row of the pressure points would go into a switch i/o and then the switch receives clock to tick it to the next row? Wouldn’t this all require a clock divider or something?

      At the end of the sequence, you will send a pulse out of the Pressure Points to the Trig In on the A-151 and then it switch sequences. The patch schemes are up Analog Haven.com
