Incredible steampunk analogue modular sequencer
I’m a huge fan of analogue modular synthesizers. I used to have a big Moog, now I’ve got a MOTM and Doepfer modular. Other than the obvious sound generating madness, I also like how they look. Well, take a look at this more-retro-than-retro analogue sequencer.
This amazing sequencer has a huge amount of of dials and intricate brass etching throughout. Everything on the sequencer, including all of the buttons and knobs were lathed entirely by hand. It also includes a number of ‘real’ antique parts. Check out the case:
I just cannot imagine how much time was put into the thing. I’ve built a few sequencers myself, and just the electronics take a lot of time, I can only imagine how much effort when into this incredible unit.
The sequencer was built by Created by Berlin artist and musician Moritz Wolpert, and is more than just art – it actually works.
I’d love to see a full analogue modular done in this fashion. Here’s to hoping that it’s already in progress!
wow…that’s a gorgeous synth. Crazy workmanship!
that’s the way steampunk is, another realm of perfectionism! this unit looks ginormous! i want to try it out!!! ^_^
any sound samples? it LOOKS like it should sound fat as hell…
i think i just messed my pants…
This is the machinery they could use to ‘build’ a soundtrack to a film of William Gibson’s book ‘The Difference Engine’ … like a working monument to a particular sort of imagination… wow.
Amazing! Analog synths and steampunk, my two favorite things, come together! I’m inspired!
I am also a huge fan of analog synth stuff. This thing, whoa..Looks like a 16th Century piece of equipment from an old Church.
That will make some hell of a synths man!!! This is mad…i want it! The plain analogue synths can kiss my ass goodbye.
