Universal Sequencer 256 |
| Description |
EMS Universal Sequencer in excellent overall condition.
All functions are working correctly. The unit is in very nice cosmetic condition with only minor marks and wear as you can see in the photographs. The wooden case of the unit is clean and tidy.
An upgrade to the blue KS touch-keyboard sequencer of the Synthi AKS, designed to interface with different makes of synthesiser, so it contains its own AC power supply. For this reason it can also be connected to a Synthi A MKI (as long as its matrix row 16 has been connected to the 8-pin Keyboard Jones connector) without jeopardizing the Synthi A's power supply, as opposed to the famous blue KS which will drain the Synthi A MKI's power supply and will weaken its powering the Synthi in the process. Sequences can be recorded in either Steptime (with gaps) or Realtime. Clocking can be internal, external or via audio. Trigger pulses can be varied in length.
Note it can be switched to 220V or 110V thanks to a switch below the unit, although i never tried the 110V myself. All connections are by quarter-inch jacks apart from the EMS-type 8-way keyboard connector and IEC mains.
Only 20 Universal Sequencers were ever made – all in 1979. |
