Mimetic Digitalis is a fresh release from Noise Engineering. A 16 step sequencer with 4 channels of CV and one trigger channel. The UI is designed for live jamming, and you can store and recall 16 presets. The shred button allows the CV value for a given step to be randomised or zeroed with the zero button. Small but powerful, pick up one of these and an Iteritas voice, and your entire live set is sorted.
Sequencers are tools used to record, arrange and play back musical notes, patterns and rhythms in a structured way. Commonly found in synths, drum machines and standalone units, they allow you to build evolving sequences, loop ideas and create complete compositions step by step. If you enjoy hands-on music creation and pattern-based workflows, sequencers offer a powerful way to turn ideas into finished tracks.
Digital is sound generation and processing based on digital signal processing rather than analogue circuitry. It is used for precise control, stable tuning, patch memory, and complex sound design that would be difficult to achieve with purely analogue systems. For example, a digital instrument might be used to create detailed evolving textures or realistic emulations while storing and recalling complete sound setups instantly.
Modular is a synthesis format made up of separate, interchangeable modules that are patched together to create custom signal paths. It allows complete freedom over sound design, sequencing, and modulation, with each system built to suit the user’s workflow and creative approach.
A sequencer is a tool used to record, arrange, and play back musical events in a defined order. It allows notes, rhythms, and parameter changes to be programmed step by step or recorded in real time, creating structured patterns and loops. Sequencers are used to keep multiple instruments in sync, build evolving arrangements, and automate movement within a sound. For example, a sequencer might be used to create a repeating bass pattern while gradually changing filter or modulation values to add variation over time.
A synth is an electronic instrument that creates sound through electronic signal generation and shaping. It is used to produce basses, leads, pads, textures, and effects by controlling oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation. Synths are central to electronic music and modern production, offering flexible sound design for both studio work and live performance.
A Workstation is a professional keyboard instrument that combines high-quality sounds with powerful sequencing, recording, and performance features. More than just a keyboard, it acts as a complete music production hub, allowing players to compose, arrange, and perform without needing extra equipment.
Workstations typically include a wide range of instrument voices, drum kits, effects, and built-in sequencers for layering and arranging tracks. Many also offer sampling, audio recording, and deep integration with MIDI or computer software.
Favoured by composers, producers, and live performers, workstations are versatile tools that bring together creativity and practicality in one instrument.
