The Step 8 is a seriously clever little module if you're diving into modular synthesis and want to create intricate, evolving sequences. It's perfect for experimental electronic musicians or anyone wanting to generate complex patterns beyond simple step sequencing – it’s a rabbit hole of possibilities.

Product Description

  • Joranalogue Audio Design Step 8
  • Eurorack Module
  • Sequential Tracking/Sampling Register
  • Combination of Sequential Switch and eight Sample&Hold / Track&Hold stages enables a multitude of creative applications (e.g. step sequencer
  • clock divider
  • shift register
  • switch and many more)
  • 8 Voltage stages
  • each with value fader
  • CV and gate output
  • Manual trigger button and trigger input and output
  • Inputs for signal
  • pause gate
  • reset trigger
  • reverse gate and stage addressing
  • Scan output (value of active stage)
  • Power consumption: 110mA (+12V) / 45mA (-12V)
  • Width: 16 U
  • Depth: 35 mm
PROS
  • • Joranalogue's build quality feels robust, with solid metal chassis.
  • • The faders offer precise voltage adjustments for nuanced sequencing.
  • • Scan output provides a unique visual and audio feedback element.
  • • Flexible routing options enable complex rhythmic and melodic patterns.
CONS
  • • Limited step count compared to larger sequencers; 8 steps can be restrictive.
  • • The learning curve is steep, requiring understanding of CV/gate principles.
  • • Power draw, while manageable, can be a consideration in smaller systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike a traditional sequencer, the Step 8 functions as a combination of a switch and multiple Sample&Hold units, offering much more flexibility in manipulating voltage and gate signals.
Absolutely. Each of the eight voltage outputs can control a separate oscillator or other CV-controlled module, allowing for complex polyrhythmic or melodic results.
It's primarily for triggering stages in reverse order, but can also be creatively used to modulate other parameters based on the Step 8's sequence or create stuttering effects.
