I actually just logged back into the forum today because I’m dreaming of a Zaq for the BCF. Here is my idea, model it on the Intellijel Metropolis (which is based on the RYK M-185). First of all for everybody who is obsessed with having a million steps and song mode and memory and all of that nonsense, just forget about it. Imagine this:
So it’s only an 8 step monophonic sequencer. Each fader selects the note for that step. Each encoder sets different parameters for that step including holds, rests, note repeats, etc. The top button rows could be slides or something like that.
So the idea behind this BCF firmware would not be to compete with the original Zaquencer at all. In fact you could clock the BCF from the original Zaq and use both. It would be much less of a master midi control hub and more of an analog style acid techno super sequencer. I think it could be sweet as shit.
I haven’t used the Vermona. It looks awesome but are they still making it? Wasn’t able to find anyone selling it. So far I’ve used my microbrute as a midi to cv converter and today I trsted my friend’s Kenton box and it worked perfectly. It’s obviously a lot simpler than the Vermona. Do you already have a large euro setup? Doing polyphony in modular can be really expensive/impractical. I suppose using the midi ccs as cv modulation could be cool, but it’s just gonna be stepped sample and hold type stuff.
I just tried the demo earlier today and within minutes realized I had to buy the full thing. Love it so far. Here’s a clip of the first thing a did with it, sequencing my microbrute -> Eurorack (Make Noise STO and Bubblesound uLFO running through some filters and effects).
