In our constant endeavor to oust the computer from the world of modular we have come up with another module that replaces sequencer software. OK, a DAW MIDI player is still preferable to play the MIDI that Sequarallel can record, but modular clocked MIDI, tracker sequences, and Layered MIDI can be recorded directly from a keyboard or controller if that's more your application.
There is enough on-board memory to record many hours of MIDI sequences, loops, layers, and tracks.

What Does This Module do?
The Sequarallel is, from the panel point of view, a 4 CV channel + MIDI Sequencer that will play your VCO's and envelope generators or filters like a pro!
Regular Sequencers are fine for stepped beats running on a clock but creating the sequence is both time consuming and very tweaky. In many applications they have their place, but for a truly complex and intricate sequence, it seems we always turn to the computer, then patch it's output to a converter for gates, triggers and CV's for modular.

This module bypasses all of the hardware/software and does the sequences on it's own! In standby it can still keep up with the best of MIDI2CV modules, but with stand-alone sequencing it really shines! Sequences can be modified via Note Transforms like Mirror, proximity scaling, inversion, probability, glide, glissando, pitch bend, and Transpose. Most of these can be controlled with a CV input to one of the 3 bi-directional jacks, or with the MIDI Remote function from any MIDI controller.

There's Selectable Global Automation recording, for MIDI or internal FX, multiple sequencer tracks with adjustable on-board FX, and an intuitive Play List to create a song from all of the loops, TRAX, and MIDI Layers, that is very editable and modifiable.
As quoted "The Sequarallel is basically a DAW in 8HP!"

Looping?
Up to 16 Song Loop/Jump markers can be set within a recorded MIDI Song. TRAX Tracker' Sequencers (up to 5 at once from a selection of 40 per Song Project) Loop points can vary dynamically from 4 to 64 steps and can be controlled per Play List block. Live MIDI Recorded Layers will follow Song Loop's sizes by default (whether real Song exists or not) as a multiple so everything is easy to sync. The Playlist groups (of blocks) will loop depending on the sequential block's positions. If there is no active block to fall into in the Play List, each track will loop to the top of that group until directed elsewhere.  This means there is a pointer for each track and they can be all different sizes.

Layering?
Up to 5 sets of Layers can be recorded into a Song Project. Layers can either be merged into themselves (with undo, individual mute) or create a new set with each Loop for random solo or muting from the main screen. Each time a Layer does Merge (up to 8 times / Layer button) a new Letter is created and the Layer sub-sequencer moved to the next Step with all the previous Layers included. If in "Live" mode this process will play in real time, offering Live inserts of new inputs as you go. Editing the Layer sub-sequence can add loops, or remove some Layers from the mix. Up to 32 Play heads!

Layer recording can be left on with an intelligent insertion without any degradation or memory use from un-used loops making it a powerful inspiration tool. Special piano keys or controllers can be assigned to control Layer solo, mute, record and removal.

Sequencing?
Besides the real-time MIDI Recording and Layering features, the Sequarallel has 5 unique 4 Lane Wide TRAX tracker-style sequencers. From 4 to 64 steps at any clock ratio, notes can be added one at a time, or played in via MIDI to be quantized into the sequence live.
Each TRAX tracker has it's own FX pool of 8 FX configurations that can be applied by the note, lane, or group of steps. Some of these FX are Echo or Ratcheting with pitch-step option, randomization, probability, glide, MIDI CC values, ducking, instrument change, tuning...

Special keyboard keys can erase sections of sequence, stack lanes, and overlay notes without changing FX, lengths, or velocities, making it perfect for an ever-morphing clock-accurate sequence for Live embellishment.

MIDI MPE Compatible?
Yes, the Sequarallel will accept MPE format (and detect zone configuration messages) for up to 4 note zones on the panel. Zones larger than 4 notes will still be sent on through MIDI out. All 4 rows can be configured to proper channels by selecting MPE0 or MPE1.
Pitch Bend is applied to the CV outputs of course, but the 4 CC/VEL jacks can be configured to one of the remaining 4 expression elements to control your VCO modulation, filters, etc.

Is This Module Complicated to Learn?
Not at all!
It can be deep, but easy to learn the basics, designed with ease of use a priority.
If you like Sequencing, the TRAX trackers are easy to add notes & FX to for an immediate start, or if you're impatient like me, 4 lane sequences can be recorded directly from any keyboard.
If you like perfectly auto-tuned VCO's every time, the Sequarallel remembers, by name, up to 8 VCO's per jack row.
If you have DAW sequences you'd like to "modularize" it's just a matter of arranging them and recording them in.
If controlling a modular sequencer live via MIDI controllers or swapping pre-made patterns to DJ standards is a must, Remote has it.
If you like to free-style play and build up a track as inspiration hits, Layering has got you covered.
If you want to take your favorite downloaded Song and use parts of it for your loops, twisting it beyond recognition SongFX is your thing.
If you want to compose a whole song from all these elements, the Play List will make it happen.
